摘要:
A &bgr;-fructofuranosidase gene coding for a protein having an amino acid sequence described in Seq. I.D. No. 1 in the Sequence Listing. The gene enables production of &bgr;-fructofuranosidase on a large scale more easily and less dependently on the productivity of microorganisms than the production by cultivation of the microorganisms. Also, the &bgr;-fructofuranosidase gene is useful for the development of variant enzymes that have increased heat resistance and transfer ratio by means of genetic engineering techniques.

Further, the present invention has its object to provide a composition, for example, a food or drink, a cosmetic, a drug or the like containing the crystalline lactosucrose.That is, the present invention provides the crystalline lactosucrose or the syrup containing crystalline lactosucrose, the process for producing the crystalline lactosucrose or the syrup containing crystalline lactosucrose, characterized by crystallizing a crystalline lactosucrose from a solution containing lactosucrose and collecting the crystalline lactosucrose, and the use thereof.
摘要:
Disclosed are novel branched cyclodextrins having any of an N-acetylglucosamine group, a glucosaminyl group, an N-acetylgalactosaminyl group and a galactosaminyl group as bonded to the hydroxyl group of the cyclodextrin ring by .beta.-bonding therebetween, and their salts. The novel branched cyclodextrins are produced by reacting a solution containing a cyclodextrin and an N-acetylglucosamine or N-acetylgalactosamine with an N-acetylhexosaminidase, and optionally deacetylating the resulting product.

Provided is a process, by which glucuronic acid and/or glucuronolactone can be produced in high yield, at low cost, in an easy manner and in safe. Also provided is a process for production of glucuronic acid and/or glucuronolactone which is characterized in that sucrose is oxidized to give sucrose carboxylic acid (and a salt thereof) (glucuronyl-fructoside, β-D-fructosyl-(2→1)-α-D-glucuronic acid and a salt thereof), yeast is added so as to hydrolyze fructose residue of the sucrose carboxylic acid and to assimilate the resulting product, and thus produced glucuronic acid and/or glucuronolactone are/is collected.
摘要:
A novel method of very efficiently elevating the yield of oligosacchrides containing α-galactosyl, compared with the conventional methods, which comprises treating galactose or a galactose-containing material with a specific α-galactosidase and thus performing a dehydrocondensation reaction at a high substrate concentration. Anti-candida compositions originating in foods, having a high safety and excellent anti-candida effect and not being restricted in the supply, which contain as the active ingredient oligosacchrides obtained by treating galactose or a galactose-containing material with an α-galactosidase and thus performing a dehydrocondensation.
摘要:
An enzymatic method for the preparation of a fructose-containing oligosaccharide, in which a .beta.-fructofuranosidase obtained by culturing Arthrobacter sp. K-1 (FERM BP-3192) as an enzyme is reacted on sucrose, raffinose or stachyose as the donor in the presence of an aldose or ketose as the receptor. The enzyme is characterized by:(1) activity on sucrose for the transglycosidation of a fructosyl group to the receptor in the presence of a monosaccharide, sugar alcohol, alkyl alcohol, glycoside or oligosaccharide;(2) activity for the decomposition of sucrose, elrose, neokestose, xylsucrose, raffinose and stachyose with inactivity on a saccharide selected from the group consisting of 1-kestose, nistose, inulobiose and levan biose;(3) optimum pH of 6.5 to 6.8 at 40.degree. C. with stability at a pH of 5.5 to 10;(4) optimum temperature of 55.degree. C. at a pH of 6.5 exhibiting at least 70% of residual activity at 60.degree. C.;(5) susceptibility to inhibition by the ions of silver, mercury, zinc, copper and tin;(6) two molecular weights of 52,000.+-.2,500 and 58,000.+-.2,500; and(7) two isoelectric points of pH 4.3 and pH 4.6.
摘要:
It is intended to provide an anti-inflammatory agent made from a highly safe material which can be daily taken as a food, an agent for preventing or ameliorating allergic diseases and a functional food having the above-mentioned effects. The anti-inflammatory agent contains an α-bond galactooligosaccharide as the active ingredient. The agent for preventing or ameliorating allergic diseases contains an α-bond galactooligosaccharide as the active ingredient. The functional food contains an α-bond galactooligosaccharide as the active ingredient. As such α-bond galactooligosaccharide, use can be made of a product synthesized by the dehydration condensation reaction by α-galactosidase with the use of galactose or galactose-containing substance as a substrate.
摘要:
Disclosed herein is a ribbon cassette for use with a printer, including a cassette case detachably mounted in the printer and an ink ribbon stored in the cassette case and partially exposed to face a print head provided in the printer. The ribbon cassette further includes a ribbon take-up member rotatably supported in the cassette case, a driven member rotatably supported in the cassette case and meshing with the ribbon take-up member through the ink ribbon, and a power transmitting member provided in the ribbon take-up member to connect the ribbon take-up member to a ribbon driving shaft provided in the printer. A breaking strength of the power transmitting member against a load from the ink ribbon is set smaller than that of the ribbon driving shaft. Accordingly, in the event that ribbon jam occurs, the power transmitting member breaks to thereby prevent fracture of the ribbon driving shaft in the printer.

A multi-color ribbon cassette position adjusting apparatus comprises a carrier having a print head, a cassette mounting member rockably supported on the carrier, and a fine adjustment mechanism attached to the cassette mounting member, for finely rocking the mounting member. The fine adjustment mechanism includes a guide member fixed to the cassette mounting member, a follower piece guided by the guide member to engage a helical cam for shifting the position of the cassette mounting member, and a position adjusting member for relatively moving the guide member and the follower piece.
摘要:
An object of the invention is to develop galactose or mannose derivatives of docetaxel, etc. having improved solubility and physiological activity, to alleviate burden imposed on patients and to provide effective therapeutic drug for tumors. The present invention provides taxoid derivatives comprising any of paclitaxel, docetaxel and 10-deacetyl-baccatin III to which galactose or mannose is linked through a spacer, and methods for producing taxoid derivatives comprising reacting paclitaxel, docetaxel or 10-deacetyl-baccatin III with tetrabenzyl acetyloxygalactoside or tetrabenzyl acetyloxymannoside, subjecting the product to debenzylation reaction, and optionally to detriethylsilylation reaction.
