It has been found that α-D-glucosylglycerol (GG) is contained in such traditional Japanese foods brewed by using koji as sake, miso and mirin, and that GG is formed by transglucosylation to glycerol that is produced by yeast with α-glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.20) from koji in the sake mash. GG has also been found to consist of three components, 2-O-α-D-glucosylglycerol (GG-II), (2R)-1-O-α-D-glucosylglycerol (R-GG-I) and (2S)-1-O-α-D-glucosylglycerol (S-GG-I). GG was synthesized from a mixture of maltose and glycerol by the batch method, using α-glucosidase (transglucosidase L-AMANO). α-Glucosidase seemed to be so stable that the amount of GG increased about 5-fold compared with that in the first reaction by the daily addition of maltose for 10 d. Syrupy GG obtained was found to have the following characteristics: about 0.55-fold sweetness compared with sucrose, high thermo-stability, low heat-colorability, low Maillard reactivity, low hygroscopicity, high water-holding capacity, non-cariogenicity and low digestibility.
研究发现,清酒、味噌和米林等使用麴酿造的传统日本食品中含有α-D-葡萄糖基甘油(GG),而 GG 是由清酒酒泥中含有α-葡萄糖苷酶(EC 3.2.1.20)的麴酵母经转葡萄糖基作用生成的甘油。研究还发现,甘油三酯由三种成分组成:2-O-α-D-葡萄糖基甘油(GG-II)、(2R)-1-O-α-D-葡萄糖基甘油(R-GG-I)和(2S)-1-O-α-D-葡萄糖基甘油(S-GG-I)。α-葡萄糖苷酶似乎非常稳定,每天添加麦芽糖 10 天,GG 的量比第一次反应增加了约 5 倍。获得的糖浆状 GG 具有以下特点:甜度约为蔗糖的 0.55 倍,热稳定性高,热着色性低,马氏反应性低,吸湿性低,持水量高,无致畸性,消化率低。
