摘要:
A composition for supplementing energy to a living body containing neotrehalose as effective ingredient. Neotrehalose is a disaccharide, therefore, when used in an energy supplementing composition, provides twice as much energy as does a monosaccharide. Neotrehalose has non-reducing properties, and this renders the composition containing neotrehalose stable for a relatively-long time period.
摘要:
Disclosed are a novel preparation of neotrehalose and its uses. The preparation comprises allowing .alpha.-amylase to act on an amylaceous substance to form neotrehalose, and recovering said neotrehalose. The neotrehalose has a satisfiable chemical stability, as well as other properties such as a sweeteness, energy-imparting ability, osmosis-regulating ability, filler-imparting ability, gloss-imparting ability, moisture-retaining ability, viscosity-imparting ability, crystallization-preventing ability, and non-fermentability. These properties render the neotrehalose advantageously useful in preparations of a variety of compositions.
摘要:
Lactoneotrehalose, a novel saccharide shown by the formula O-.beta.-D-galactopyranosyl-(1.fwdarw.4)-O-.beta.-D-glucopyranosyl .alpha.-D-glucopyranoside, is prepared by allowing a saccharide-transferring enzyme to act on an aqueous solution containing lactose and amylaceous substance. Lactoneotrehalose is a non-reducing oligosaccharide, extremely stable, readily soluble in water, and substantially free of hygroscopicity, as well as having a satisfiable quality and moderate sweetness. These render lactoneotrehalose very useful in the preparations of orally-administrable products, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.

摘要:
The objects of the present invention are to provide a method for inhibiting the coloration of a syrupy sweetener, comprising a reducing saccharide together with a non-reducing oligosaccharide having a β-fructofuranosidic linkage, without deteriorating the taste inherent to the syrupy sweetener; and to provide a syrupy sweetener, comprising a reducing saccharide together with a non-reducing oligosaccharide having a β-fructofuranosidic linkage, which is stabilized by the method. The present invention attains the above objects by providing a method for inhibiting the coloring of a syrupy sweetener, comprising a reducing saccharide together with a non-reducing oligosaccharide having a β-fructofuranosidic linkage, which comprises a step of incorporating a lactate into the syrupy sweetener, and by providing a syrupy sweetener, comprising a reducing saccharide together with a non-reducing oligosaccharide having a β-fructofuranosidic linkage, which is stabilized by the method.
摘要:
An object of the present invention is to provide a novel starchy substance having a retrogradation-resistance, a process for producing the starchy substance efficiently from a material starch by enzymatic reaction, and uses thereof. The present invention attains the above object by providing branched starch having 6-α-maltosyl- and/or 6-α-maltotetraosyl-structure(s) with a marked retrogradation-resistance, a process for producing the branched starch without lowering the molecular weight of material starch, and uses thereof.

An object of the present invention is to provide a means for improving hepatic function of mammals including humans to normal condition. The present invention achieves the above object by providing a hepatic function-improving agent comprising α-glucosyl-hesperidin as an effective ingredient.
摘要:
A method for inhibiting the formation of volatile aldehydes including their related compounds and/or the decomposition of fatty acids including their related compounds by incorporating trehalose and/or maltitol. Using the method, compositions such as foods, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals comprising fatty acids can be prepared and stably stored for a relatively-long period of time without fear of forming volatile aldehydes and/or decomposing the fatty acids.
摘要:
A kojibiose phosphorylase which hydrolyzes kojibiose in the presence of an inorganic phosphoric acid to form D-glucose and .beta.-D-glucose-1-phosphoric acid, forms kojibiose and an inorganic phosphoric acid from .beta.-D-glucose-1-phosphoric acid, and catalyzes the transfer reaction of glucosyl group to other saccharides using .beta.-D-glucose-1-phosphoric acid as a saccharide donor. The enzyme is obtainable from natural sources such as microorganisms of the genus Thermoanaerobium, and obtainable by recombinant technology.
