Transglycosylation of tagatose with maltotriose by Bacillus stearothermophilus maltogenic amylase (BSMA)
摘要:
D-Tagatose was transglycosylated by Bacillus stearothermophilus maltogenic amylase (BSMA). and the physicochemical properties of the transfer products were analyzed. Maltosyl-tagatose was the main product of the transglycosylation reaction using maltotriose as the donor and D-tagatose as the acceptor. Glucosyl-tagatose was produced from maltosyl-tagatose by removal of a glucosyl moiety by glucoamylase. The C-13 NMR analysis of glucosyl-tagatose suggested that a linkage was formed between the CA carbon of the glucose unit and the C-1 carbon of the tagatose unit. thereby producing 1,1-alpha-glucosyl-tagatose from the transglycosylation reaction. Hygroscopicity measurements showed that glucosyl-tagatose had water sorption than did tagatose or sucrose. The glass transition temperature of glucosyl-tagatose was -29 degreesC. which is considerably higher than that of tagatose, -45 degreesC. Its structure and physicochemical properties suggest that glucosyl-tagatose has potential as a low-calorie sweetener and cryostabilizer. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
