摘要:
A novel enzyme which has an activity to release side chain carboxyl groups and ammonia from a protein by acting upon side chain amido groups in the protein. This invention relates to a method for the production of an enzyme, which comprises culturing in a medium a strain that belongs to a bacterium classified into Cytophagales or Actinomycetes and has the ability to produce an enzyme having a property to deamidate amido groups in protein, thereby effecting production of said enzyme, and subsequently collecting said enzyme from the culture mixture. It also relates to a method for the modification of protein making use of a novel enzyme which directly acts upon amido groups in protein as well as to an enzyme which has a property to deamidate amido groups in protein and a gene which encodes said enzyme.
摘要:
A bread quality-improving composition and a process for the production of bread using the composition. More particularly, a bread quality-improving composition which contains a maltotriose-forming enzyme or a maltotriose-forming enzyme, glucose oxidase and/or hemicellulase and a process for the production of dough and bread using the composition. The bread quality-improving composition renders possible the easy handling of dough without covering it with wheat flour and the like, the exclusion of additives for use in the control of water content, an improvement in elasticity and ductility of bread when baked, the prevention of bread solidification and other problems such as a reduction in bread volume when frozen dough is used and the elimination or reduction of emulsifying agents.

摘要:
A triterpenyl ester of organic acid other than triterpenyl esters of ferulic acid and of monobasic and dibasic saturated fatty acids. A process for producing a triterpenyl ester of organic acid other than esters of ferulic acid and of monobasic and dibasic saturated fatty acids, which comprises the reaction of a triterpenyl alcohol with an acid halide of the corresponding organic acid. A pharmaceutical composition for treatment of hyperlipidemia comprising a pharmaceutical carrier and an effective amount of a triterpenyl ester of organic acid other than triterpenyl esters of dibasic saturated fatty acids. A pharmaceutical composition for treating hyperlipidemia which comprises a pharmaceutical carrier and an effective amount of cyclobranol as an active ingredient.
摘要:
A process for accelerating an antigen-antibody reaction by adding accelerator(s) such as dextran or alkylene glycol(s) and/or a polyalkylene glycol(s) to the reaction liquor of the antigen-antibody reaction.

This invention relates to a .gamma.-cyclodextrin glucanotransferase having novel properties, to a process for the production of the .gamma.-cyclodextrin glucanotransferase which comprises culturing a strain belonging to the genus Brevibacterium capable of producing cyclodextrin glucanotransferase, thereby allowing the strain to produce the .gamma.-cyclodextrin glucanotransferase in a culture medium, and subsequently collecting the enzyme, to a process for the production of cyclodextrin which comprises allowing the cyclodextrin glucanotransferase to react with substrate dissolved in a solution, thereby effecting formation of .gamma.-cyclodextrin as a main product, and to a method for increasing .gamma.-cyclodextrin yield without accompanying yield increase of total cyclodextrin, which comprises adding ethyl alcohol to a reaction solution in which .gamma.-cyclodextrin and .beta.-cyclodextrin are formed from starch by the action of .gamma.-cyclodextrin glucanotransferase, thereby effecting repressed formation of .beta.-cyclodextrin and enhanced formation of .gamma.-cyclodextrin. Development of the process of this invention has rendered possible low cost production of .gamma.-cyclodextrin and therefore expands practical use of .gamma.-cyclodextrin to the field of food and the like.
摘要:
A mannose isomerase having excellent properties for industrial use, such as high thermal stability and resistance to high substrate concentrations, can be produced by culturing a strain of Pseudomonas (sp. AM-9582), and extracting it from the cells of AM-9582. Mannose can be effectively produced from fructose of high concentrations using the enzyme.
摘要:
A process for modifying fats and oils which comprises applying partial glyceride lipase to fats and oils containing partial glycerides and fatty acids to synthesize triglycerides from the partial glycerides by esterification.The lipase is preferably an immobilized lipase and this process is preferably carried out under a water concentration of 1500 ppm or less.By using partial glyceride lipase according to the present invention, there can be obtained modified fats and oils having a low content of diglycerides without changing triglyceride composition.
