摘要:
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 &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.

The present invention establishes a crystalline lactosucrose and provides a process for producing the crystalline lactosucrose or a syrup containing crystalline lactosucrose. 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.
摘要:
To promote the growth of human beings or animals, prevent the onset of diarrhea and prevent or ameliorate various diseases, it is intended to provide a substance which has an effect of decreasing eosinophils in the intestinal tract and a feed comprising the same as a feed additive. Namely, an intestinal eosinophil-suppressing composition which contains an ▪-linked galactooligosaccharide as the active ingredient. When added in an amount of from 0.01 to 10% by weight, in terms of the saccharide, to an animal feed, this composition is useful in providing an intestinal eosinophil-suppressing feed.

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.

The new branched cyclodextrins are expected to be widely useful in various fields of drug industry, food industry and cosmetic industry.
摘要:
A reagent for determining a-amylase activity, comprising a maltooligosaccharide derivative of the following formula ##STR1## (wherein either one of R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 is .beta.-galactopyranosil and the other is hydrogen, R.sub.3 is a group bonded to the reducing terminal glucose via a bond cleavable by .alpha.-amylase, which becomes a measurable substance upon cleavage of the bond, and n is an integer of 0-2), which does not comprise adjuvant enzymes; and a method for determining .alpha.-amylase activity which comprises use of the reagent. The reagent of the present invention does not require use of any adjuvant enzyme and is stable since the substrate is not exposed to the decomposition by an adjuvant enzyme. The substrate used in the present invention has high affinity for .alpha.-amylase. Thus, the reagent and the determination method of the present invention make it possible to determine .alpha.-amylase activity with high sensitivity.
