19 Do Not Duplicate Functional Oligosaccharides a Trisaccharide Of Do not duplicate Introduction to Carbohydrates: Oligosaccharides Dr. Yuan Yao Whistler Center for Carbohydrate Research Short Course October 3, 2017 Basic Concepts 2 Do not duplicate • “Oligo-” is the prefix from Greek language “few”; Poly- “many” • Oligosaccharides: Products of glycosidic linkages of 2-20 monosaccharide units (most commonly 2-9). Polysaccharides: More than 20 units • In the disaccharides: the aglycone is a monosaccharide unit; higher order oligosaccharides are named “tri-”, “tetra-”, “penta-”, etc. • There can be α-/β-(1→2), (1→3), (1→4) or (1→6) glycosidic linkages, with different stabilities & digestibilities (as for human body) • The structures of oligosaccharides could be linear or branched. Linear: head-to-tail linkage, 1 reducing end, 1 non-reducing end Branched: 1 reducing end, multiple non-reducing ends Common Disaccharides 3 Do not duplicate • Disaccharides are the simplest oligosaccharides that are only composed of two monosaccharide units o Highly abundant in nature; or the products of incomplete hydrolysis of higher oligosaccharides or polysaccharides o Water-soluble, with sweet taste • Most Common: Sucrose, Maltose, Lactose, & Trehalose o Naturally occurring o As the main product of photosynthesis, sucrose is ubiquitous in all plants, with high abundance in sugar cane and beet, as well as fruits o Commonly known as table sugar, sucrose usually serves as a “standard” of sweetness for other sweeteners Common Disaccharides 4 Do not duplicate Sucrose • A disaccharide of one glucose and one fructose unit, connected via β-(1,2)-glycosidic linkage • The “head-to-head” linkage is unstable due to high strain, and is therefore easily hydrolyzed (acid-catalyzed, or enzymatic) • Sucrose is a non-reducing sugar α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-D-fructofuranoside 5 Common Disaccharides Inverted sugarDo (syrup) not duplicate • Sucrose could be readily hydrolyzed. In industry, the mixture of produced glucose and fructose is known as inverted sugar • Industrially, enzyme (sucrase or invertase) or acid (lemon juice or cream of tartar) is added to facilitate the reaction • Extent of conversion can be measured using a polarimeter, due to inversion of optical rotation (from +66.5°of sucrose to −39° of glucose/fructose mixture when fully hydrolyzed) • Inverted sugar is of higher sweetness, more hygroscopic and less prone to crystallization compared to sucrose, and is favored in bakery Boiling sucrose solution - http://www.chefeddy.com/2009/11/invert-sugar/ Inverted sugar - http://alifelesssweet.blogspot.com/2009/05/because-you-askedinvert-sugar.html Common Disaccharides 6 Do not duplicate Inverted sugar • Schematic showing the mechanism of optical rotation; “+” indicating polarized light rotated clockwise + Boiling sucrose solution - http://www.chefeddy.com/2009/11/invert-sugar/ Inverted sugar - http://alifelesssweet.blogspot.com/2009/05/because-you-askedinvert-sugar.html Common Disaccharides 7 Do not duplicate Sucrose as cryoprotectant agent • Sucrose can form highly concentrated solutions, used as sweetener, preservative, and humectant • In a solution of sucrose, freezing point decreases when sucrose concentration increases Derivatives of sucrose • Sucrose esters: Low derivatization (1, 2, 3 fatty acids), as surfactants or emulsifiers • Fat replacer: sucrose attached with 6-8 fatty acids (stearic, palmitic, oleic), e.g. Olestra (frying oil substitute from P&G) is not metabolized or absorbed Common Disaccharides 8 Do not duplicate Derivatives of sucrose: Sucralose • Sucralose (also known as trichlorosucrose) is a partially chlorinated derivative of sucrose • Discovered and patented by 1976 • Brand name “Splenda” in the US Sucrose Sucralose 9 Common Disaccharides Do not Maltoseduplicate • Another common disaccharide from plant source • Two glucosyl units connect via an α- (1,4)-glycosidic linkage α-Maltose α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)- • First discovered in malt (germinated, α-D-glucopyranoside dried cereal grain that contains partially digested starch by activated enzymes) • Digestible for human by maltase (α- glucosidase) • Unlike sucrose, maltose has a free β-Maltose reducing end, and is therefore a α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)- β-D-glucopyranoside reducing sugar Common Disaccharides 10 Do not duplicate Maltose Used as a mild sweetener and energy source, ~1/3 sweetness compared to sucrose Maltose production • Through enzymatic hydrolysis of starch (amylose, amylopectin) • Digestion of amylose by β-amylase, or of amylopectin by debranching enzyme + β-amylase Amylose Amylopectin Common Disaccharides 11 Do not duplicate Lactose • The main form of carbohydrate in milk of all mammals • Disaccharide of one galactose and one glucose unit, connected via a β-(1,4)-glycosidic linkage • Provides ~40% of energy when nursing (the other coming from dairy fat and proteins). Lactose need to be broken down to D- glucose and D-galactose • Accounts for the slight sweetness of fresh milk (~1/6 sweetness of sucrose) α-lactose β-D-galactopyranosyl-(1→4)- α-D-glucopyranoside β-lactose β-D-galactopyranosyl-(1→4)- β-D-glucopyranoside Common Disaccharides 12 Do not duplicate Lactose • Like maltose, lactose retains an reducing end (anomeric center on glucose unit), and is therefore a reducing sugar, undergoes anomerization (mutarotation) • Isolated from whey, a by-product of cheese manufacturing, the liquid after milk is curdled and strained o For cheese production, rennet (an enzyme) or an edible acid (citric or tartaric acid) is added to milk, making it curdle o Whey is remained when coagulated casein (the primary milk protein) is removed o Whey undergoes centrifugation to remove fat, ultrafiltration to separate whey protein, ion exchange to remove salt, and crystallization to isolate lactose https://www.oregondairy.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/1b-derrick.pdf Common Disaccharides 13 Do not duplicate Lactose intolerance • In human body, lactose is digested by lactase (β-D-galactosidase), the monosaccharides produced are absorbed • Lactase is most abundant in GI tract of infants, who rely on milk as the only energy source; its activity plummets after weaning (young children may lose ~90% lactase activity by the age of 4) • If lactose is not completely hydrolyzed in the small intestine, it will enter the large intestine • When lactose enters large intestine, it is fermented by anaerobic gas-generating microorganisms, producing short-chain fatty acids, CO2, H2, CH4, etc., which results in bloating, flatulence, abdominal cramping, diarrhea, etc. • This causes the symptoms of lactose intolerance Common Disaccharides 14 Do not duplicate Strategies to overcome lactose intolerance • Avoid ingestion of (excessive) lactose o Drink soy milk; use soy products as a substitute of protein and calcium source o Consume yogurt instead of milk (lactose greatly reduced and converted to lactic acid) o Choose lactose-free milk & milk products • Use supplementary lactase o Available as pills (taken before diary consumption) or liquids (added to diary before service) Soy Milk – http://jpnfood.com/archives/2985 Lactose-Free Milk - http://www.bestgrocerydelivery.net/Great-Value-Lactose-Free-Whole-Milk--12-Gallon_p_10048.html Supplementary Lactase - http://www.healthpost.co.nz/solgar-lactase-3500-sglac.html Common Disaccharides 15 Do not duplicate Trehalose • Naturally occurring non-reducing disaccharide • Occurs widely in nature: mushrooms, honey, lobster, shrimp, certain seaweeds, foods produced using yeast • Properties o Stabilizes proteins against freezing and drying o Maintains texture, flavor and color in frozen and dehydrated foods o Reduces retrogradation of starch o Preserves cell structure o Reduces hygroscopicity o No reactivity in Maillard reaction o Provokes less insulin response Trehalose o Broadly used in bakery Glc(α1↔1)Glc Functional Oligosaccharides 16 Do not duplicate “Novel” oligosaccharides drawing interest of food scientists, due to their potential benefits for human health as food additives or dietary supplements; collectively referred to as “functional oligosaccharides”. • Raffinose (a trisaccharide) • Stachyose (a tetrasaccharide) • Raffinose and stachyose are both components of “soybean oligosaccharides” • Isomaltooligosaccharides (IMO, a mixture of isomaltose, isomaltotri/tetrasaccharide, etc.) • Fructooligosaccharides (FOS, Glu-Frun, n=1-5) • Galactooligosaccharides (GOS, Glu-Galn, n=1-7) • Xylooligosaccharides (XOS, Xyln, n=2-7).

  • Soluble Carbohydrates in Two Buffalograss Cultivars with Contrasting Freezing Tolerance
    J. AMER. SOC. HORT. SCI. 127(1):45–49. 2002. Soluble Carbohydrates in Two Buffalograss Cultivars with Contrasting Freezing Tolerance S. Ball, Y.L. Qian,1 and C. Stushnoff Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO 80523-1173 DDITIONAL INDEX WORDS A . Buchloe dactyloides, cold hardiness, fructose, glucose, raffinose, sucrose, LT50 ABSTRACT. No information is available regarding endogenous soluble carbohydrate accumulation in buffalograss [Buchloe dactyloides (Nutt.) Engelm.] during cold acclimation. The objective of this study was to determine composition of soluble carbohydrates and their relationship to freezing tolerance in two buffalograss cultivars, 609 and NE 91-118, with different freezing tolerances. The experiment was conducted under natural cold acclimation conditions in two consecutive years in Fort Collins, Colo. Based upon average LT50 (subfreezing temperature resulting in 50% mortality) from seven sampling intervals in 1998–99 and six sampling intervals in 1999–2000, ‘NE 91-118’ survived 4.5 °C and 4.9 °C colder temperatures than ‘609’, during the 1998-1999 and 1999–2000 winter seasons, respectively. Glucose, fructose, sucrose, and raffinose were found in both cultivars in both years, and were generally higher in acclimated than pre- and post-acclimated stolons. Stachyose was not present in sufficient quantities for quantification. Cultivar NE 91-118 contained 63% to 77% more glucose and 41% to 51% more raffinose than ‘609’ in the 1998–99 and 1999–2000 winter seasons, respectively. In 1999–2000, fructose content in ‘NE 91-118’ was significantly higher than that of ‘609’. A significant negative correlation was found between LT50 vs. all carbohydrates in 1999–2000, and LT50 vs.

  • Carbohydrates Carbohydrates Are One of the Main Macronutrients
    Carbohydrates Carbohydrates are one of the main macronutrients. They provide an essential source of energy. They are mainly found in plants, where they are manufactured by photosynthesis. Photosynthesis Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use sunlight to make sugar (glucose) from carbon dioxide and water. How photosynthesis occurs Plant roots absorb water (H2O) from the soil. Leaves take in carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air. Chlorophyll (green pigment) in leaves absorbs energy from the sun. Result Glucose (sugar) (C6H12O6) is formed. Oxygen (O2) is released into the air. Equation for photosynthesis light energy 6CO2 + 6H2O — C6H12O6 + 6O2 chlorophyll Carbon + dioxide water — glucose + oxygen Elemental composition of carbohydrates Carbohydrates are made up of three elements: carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O). Monosaccharides Structure Chemical formula Examples Sources A simple sugar that C6H12O6 Glucose Fruit contains one simple Fructose Fruit and honey sugar unit.

  • Carbohydrates Are Defined As Polyhydroxy Aldehydes Or Polyhydroxy Ketones Or Compounds That on Hydrolysis Produce Either Acetic Acid and Lactic Acid
    ¾ Carbohydrates are defined as polyhydroxy aldehydes or polyhydroxy ketones or compounds that on hydrolysis produce either acetic acid and lactic acid. They are substances of universal occurrence and are much abundant in plants rather than in animals. ¾ Carbohydrates are grouped into two major classes: simple sugars (saccharides) and polysaccharides. Low molecular weight carbohydrtes are crystalline, soluble in water and sweet in taste; example glucose, fructose and sucrose. The high molecular weight carbohydrates (polymers) are amorphous, tasteless and relatievly less soluble in water; example starch, cellulose, gums, pectins, inulin etc. Bioses : Two carbon atom. Trisoes: Three carbon atoms, but in the form of phospheric esters, eg: glyceraldehyde Tetroses : Four carbon atoms eg: erythroses Pentoses: hemicellulose, mucilage ad gums Hexoses : six carbon atoms aldoses: glucose, mannose, galactose. ketoses: fructose and sorbose Carbohydrates which upon hydrolysis yield two molecules of monosaccharide are called as disaccharides. Sucrose on hydrolysis gives glucose and fructose (sugarcane) Maltose on hydrolysis gives glucose and glucose (malt sugar) Lactose on hydrolysis gives glucose and galactose (cow’s milk) These liberate three molecules of monosaccharides on hydrolysis. Raffinose on hydrolysis gives glucose , fructose and galactose. Gentianose on hydrolysis gives two glucose molecules and fructose Scillatriose , mannotrose , phanteose are the other examples. Stachyose , a tetrasaccharide, yields on hydrolysis , four molecules

Kaisarul Islam2, Abu Asad Chowdhury2 and Jakir Ahmed Chowdhury3 1Julphar Gulf Pharmaceuticals Ltd, R.A.K.,UAE. 2Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Dhaka, Dhaka-1000, Bangladesh 3Department of Pharmaceutical Technology, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Dhaka, Dhaka-1000, Bangladesh Received: May 13, 2016; Accepted: June 29, 2016; Published (Web): July 31, 2016 Abstract The aim of the study was to prevent crystallization of sucrose on the bottle neck and cap of sugar syrup containing products by treating the manufacturing process with citric acid monohydrate. Diphenhydramine HCl syrup was selected as a model product for the experiment. Sugar syrup (66% w/w sucrose) and partially inverted sugar syrup (in which 66% w/w sucrose was treated with citric acid monohydrate for partially conversion of sucrose into invert sugars) were prepared and the content of invert sugar of both the sugar syrups were determined. Sugar syrup and citric acid monohydrate treated sugar syrup (partially inverted) were considered as control and test sugar syrup, respectively which were used to manufacture the Diphenhydramine HCl syrup product. The Diphenhydramine HCl syrup product that prepared using sugar syrup was considered as control syrup product and that was prepared using citric acid monohydrate treated sugar syrup (partially inverted) was considered as the test syrup product. Then experiments were designed in such a way that both control (sugar syrup and product prepared by it) and test samples (partially inverted syrup and product prepared by it) were spread on open petridishes and also spread on the neck of filled bottle, inside of caps and the bottles, which were kept at room temperature (25 C) for 2 weeks observation.

  • Determination of Total Dietary Fibre and Available Carbohydrates: a Rapid Integrated Procedure That Simulates in Vivo Digestion
    860 DOI 10.1002/star.201500017 Starch/Stärke 2015, 67, 860–883 RESEARCH ARTICLE Determination of total dietary fibre and available carbohydrates: A rapid integrated procedure that simulates in vivo digestion Barry V. McCleary, Naomi Sloane and Anna Draga Megazyme International Ireland, Bray Business Park, Bray, County Wicklow, Ireland The new definition of dietary fibre introduced by Codex Alimentarius in 2008 includes resistant Received: January 23, 2015 starch and the option to include non-digestible oligosaccharides. Implementation of this definition Revised: March 5, 2015 required new methodology. An integrated total dietary fibre method was evaluated and accepted by Accepted: March 5, 2015 AOAC InternationalandAACCInternational(AOACMethods2009.01and2011.25;AACCMethod 32–45.01 and 32–50.01, and recently adopted by Codex Alimentarius as a Type I Method. However, in application of the method to a diverse range of food samples and particularly food ingredients, some limitations have been identified. One of the ongoing criticisms of this method was that the time of incubation with pancreatic a-amylase/amyloglucosidase mixture was 16 h, whereas the time for food to transit through the human small intestine was likely to be approximately 4 h. In the current work, we use an incubation time of 4 h, and have evaluated incubation conditions that yield resistant starch and dietary values in line with ileostomy results within this time frame. Problems associated with production, hydrolysis and chromatography of various oligosaccharides have been addressed resulting in a more rapid procedure that is directly applicable to all foods and food ingredients currently available.

Abstract: Approximately 25% of all carbohydrates in industrial worts are poorly, if at all, fermented by brewing yeast. This includes dextrins, β-glucans, arabinose, xylose, disaccharides such as isomaltose, nigerose, kojibiose, and trisaccharides such as panose and isopanose. As the efficient utilization of carbohydrates during the wort’s fermentation impacts the alcohol yield and the organoleptic traits of the product, developing brewing strains with enhanced abilities to ferment subsets of these sugars is highly desirable. In this study, we developed Saccharomyces pastorianus laboratory yeast strains with a superior capacity to grow on isomaltose and panose. First, we designed a plasmid toolbox for Citation: Porcayo Loza, J.; Chailyan, the stable integration of genes into lager strains. Next, we used the toolbox to elevate the levels of A.; Forster, J.; Katz, M.; Mortensen, the α-glucoside transporter Agt1 and the major isomaltase Ima1.

  • Lactose Tolerance Blood Test
    Lactose tolerance blood test Lactose tolerance tests measure the ability of your intestines to break down lactose, a type of sugar found in milk and other dairy products. How the test is performed The lactose tolerance blood test looks for glucose in your blood. Your body creates glucose when lactose breaks down. For this test, several blood samples will be taken before and after you drink the lactose solution described above. For information on how a blood sample is obtained, see venipuncture. How to prepare for the test You should not eat for 8 hours before the test. Avoid strenuous exercise for 8 hours before the test. How the test will feel There should not be any pain or discomfort when giving a breath sample. When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain, while others feel only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing. Why the test is performed Your doctor may order these tests if you have signs of lactose intolerance. Normal Values The breath test is considered normal if the increase in hydrogen is less than 12 parts per million over your fasting (pre-test) level. The blood test is considered normal if your glucose level rises more than 30 mg/dL within 2 hours of drinking the lactose solution. A rise of 20-30 mg/dL is inconclusive. Note: Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results. The examples above show the common measurements for results for these tests.

Patented: US 7,785,771 B2 and EP1 828 407 (GB, FR, IE, DE) © Megazyme 2021 INTRODUCTION: Lactose, or milk sugar, is a white crystalline disaccharide. It is formed in the mammary glands of all lactating animals and is present in their milk. Lactose yields D-galactose and D-glucose on hydrolysis by lactase (β-galactosidase), an enzyme found in gastric juice. People who lack this enzyme after childhood cannot digest milk and are said to be lactose intolerant. Common symptoms of lactose intolerance include nausea, cramps, gas and diarrhoea, which begin about 30 minutes to 2 hours after eating or drinking foods containing lactose. Between 30 and 50 million Americans are lactose intolerant, with certain ethnic and racial populations being more widely affected than others; as many as 75 percent of all African-Americans and Native Americans and 90 percent of Asian-Americans are lactose intolerant. The condition is least common among persons of northern European descent. Enzymic methods for the measurement of lactose are well known and are generally based on the hydrolysis of lactose to D-galactose and D-glucose with β-galactosidase, followed by determination of either D-galactose or D-glucose.

  • Congenital Sucrase-Isomaltase Deficiency
    Congenital sucrase-isomaltase deficiency Description Congenital sucrase-isomaltase deficiency is a disorder that affects a person's ability to digest certain sugars. People with this condition cannot break down the sugars sucrose and maltose. Sucrose (a sugar found in fruits, and also known as table sugar) and maltose (the sugar found in grains) are called disaccharides because they are made of two simple sugars. Disaccharides are broken down into simple sugars during digestion. Sucrose is broken down into glucose and another simple sugar called fructose, and maltose is broken down into two glucose molecules. People with congenital sucrase- isomaltase deficiency cannot break down the sugars sucrose and maltose, and other compounds made from these sugar molecules (carbohydrates). Congenital sucrase-isomaltase deficiency usually becomes apparent after an infant is weaned and starts to consume fruits, juices, and grains. After ingestion of sucrose or maltose, an affected child will typically experience stomach cramps, bloating, excess gas production, and diarrhea. These digestive problems can lead to failure to gain weight and grow at the expected rate (failure to thrive) and malnutrition. Most affected children are better able to tolerate sucrose and maltose as they get older. Frequency The prevalence of congenital sucrase-isomaltase deficiency is estimated to be 1 in 5, 000 people of European descent. This condition is much more prevalent in the native populations of Greenland, Alaska, and Canada, where as many as 1 in 20 people may be affected. Causes Mutations in the SI gene cause congenital sucrase-isomaltase deficiency. The SI gene provides instructions for producing the enzyme sucrase-isomaltase.
