Therefore, we described on metabolism through gut microbiota, physiological functions including prebiotic effect and accelerating defecation, practical appli- cation and suggestions on FOS. FOS is a mixture of oligosaccharides what one to three molecules of fructose are bound straightly to the fructose residue of sucrose with β-1,2 linkage. FOS which is produced industrially from sucrose using enzymes from Aspergillus niger, is widely used in processed foods with claimed health benefits. But, FOS occurs natu- rally in foodstuffs including edible burdock, onion and garlic, which have long been part of the human diet. Therefore, eating FOS can be considered a safe food material. FOS ingested by healthy human subjects, does not elevate the blood glucose and insulin levels, because it is not digested by enzymes in the small intestine.

  • Structural Analyses of Isomaltooligosaccharide-Producing Enzymes
    Intellectual Contribution Advances in Technology Structural analyses of isomaltooligosaccharide-producing enzymes Zui Fujimoto and Mitsuru Momma Biomolecular Research Unit The four enzymes that totally produce isomaltooligosaccharides from starch were structurally characterized using X-ray crystallography. The three-dimensional structures revealed the catalytic mechanisms of the enzymes. We also succeeded in increasing the production of isomaltooligosaccharides with more than nine degrees of polymerization of glucoses. Keywords: isomaltomegalosaccharide, starch, X-ray crystallography, catalytic mechanism Background Isomaltooligosaccharides are oligomers of glucose molecules linked by α-1,6-glucosidic bonds, and exhibit an ability to form inclusion-complexes with various hydrophobic molecules and anti-plaque activity. Since they are highly water soluble and have a hydrophobic surface, they appear to be novel bionanomaterials with wide range of applications in various bioindustries. However, the function and characteristics of isomaltomegalosaccharides with high degrees of polymerization (≥10) have not been fully elucidated. We determined the three-dimensional structures of enzymes involved in the production of isomaltooligosaccharide and analyzed their catalytic mechanisms in order to increase the isomaltooligosaccharide productivity. Results and Discussion 1. The three-dimensional structure of the four enzymes, namely, (1) synthase that hydrolyzes the α-1,4-glucosidic bond of starch and produces dextran-type saccharides containing α-1,6-glucosidic

Prebiotic levels remained Available online 20 February 2019 unaltered during fermentation (24 h) and storage (28 days), with the exception of a decrease (7.3%) of lactulose in kefir with 4% prebiotic. Consequently, the viability of lactic acid bacteria and yeasts, as well as the pH or level of fermentation metabolites was similar for all kefirs.

Both 20 parameters are influenced by the method of production. Commercial IMO are produced by 21 transglycosylation of starch hydrolysates, or by transglycosylation with dextransucrase and 22 sucrose as glucosyl-donor and maltose as glucosyl-acceptor. This study aimed to quantitatively 23 and qualitatively assess the acceptor reaction with dextransucrase. α-Glucans were selected by 24 systematic variation of degree of polymerization and linkage type; the dextransucrase DsrM from 25 Weissella cibaria 10M was used as biocatalyst. The efficiency of α-glucans as acceptor 26 carbohydrates decreased in the order DP2 > DP3 > DP1; among disaccharides, the efficiency 27 decreased in the order α-(1→6) > α-(1→4) > α-(1→3); the α-(1→2) linked kojibiose did not 28 support oligosaccharide formation.

Subsequently, 5 L- and 20 L-scale fermentations were performed. After isolation and purification, liquid alpha-glucosidase preparations were obtained. Through covalent cross-linking and adsorption cross-linking using chitosan as the carrier and glutaraldehyde as the crosslinking agent, the conditions for immobilization of alpha-glucosidase on chitosan were determined. Moreover, Isomaltooligosaccharides (IMOs) were then prepared using chitosan membrane- immobilized alpha-glucosidase, beta-amylase, pullulanase, fungal alpha-amylase and starch as substrate. The mixed syrup that contained IMOs was evaluated and analyzed by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

J. 2012; 17(5):794-799 http : //resjournal.kku.ac.th Prebiotic isomalto-oligosaccharide production from economic crops of Thailand Premsuda Saman*, Achara Chaiongkarn, Somporn Moonmangmee and Suparp Artjariyasripong Bioscience Department, Thailand Institute of Scientific and Technological Research 35 M3 Technopolis, Khlong 5, Khlong Luang, Pathum Thani. 12120, Thailand *Correspondent author: [email protected] Abstract The production of Isomalto-oligosaccharide by fungal fermentation using economic crops such as rice and cassava as substrates was investigated. Solid-state fermentation with Aspergillus oryzae TISTR 3102 was studied to maximise isomalto-oligosaccharides yield. Results show that the fermentation of rice with A. oryzae TISTR 3102 produced the highest concentrations of total reducing sugar (753 mg/g) and free amino nitrogen (33.6 mg/g) together with the highest levels of amylolytic activity (136.4 U/g), α-amylase (52.5 U/g) and α-glucosidase (2.4 U/g). After appropriate fermentation time at the 5-day, both fermented rice and cassava slurries were experimented on further in mashing for the production of syrup. The rice syrup obtained contained the highest amounts of isomaltose, panose and isomaltotriose which were prebiotic isomalto-oligosaccharides. Keywords: solid-state fermentation, rice, isomalto-oligosaccharides 1. Introduction oligosaccharides and transfer of the glucosyl group to 6-OH of other glucosyl residues resulting in the synthesis Solid-state fermentation (SSF) has been of isomalto-oligosaccharides (4). applied in the production of many fermented foods Isomalto-oligosaccharides have a great (1).

  • Metabolism and Bioavailability of Newly Developed Dietary Fiber
    Nakamura et al. Nutrition & Metabolism (2016) 13:13 DOI 10.1186/s12986-016-0073-2 RESEARCH Open Access Metabolism and bioavailability of newly developed dietary fiber materials, resistant glucan and hydrogenated resistant glucan, in rats and humans Sadako Nakamura1,2, Kenichi Tanabe2,3, Shigeki Morita2, Norihisa Hamaguchi4, Fumio Shimura1 and Tsuneyuki Oku1,2* Abstract Background: Resistant glucan (RG) and hydrogenated resistant glucan (HRG) are new dietary fiber materials developed to decrease the risk of metabolic syndrome and lifestyle-related diseases. We investigated the metabolism and bioavailability of RG and HRG using rats and humans. Methods: Purified RG and HRG were used as test substances. After 25 Wistar male rats (270 g) were fed with an experimental diet (AIN93M diet with the cellulose replaced by β-corn starch) ad libitum for 1 week, they were used for the experiment involving blood collection and circulating air collection. Ten participants (5 males, 22.5 y, BMI 20.4 kg/ m2; 5 females, 25.8 y, BMI 20.9 kg/m2) voluntarily participated in this study. The study was carried out using a within-subject, repeated measures design. Effects of RG and HRG on the response for blood glucose and insulin and hydrogen excretion were compared with those of glucose and a typical nondigestible and fermentable fructooligosaccharide (FOS) in rats and humans. Available energy was evaluated using the fermentability based on breath hydrogen excretion. Results: When purified RG or HRG (400 mg) was administered orally to rats, blood glucose and insulin increased slightly, but less than when glucose was administration (P < 0.05). Hydrogen started to be excreted 120 min after administration of RG with negligibly small peak at 180 min, thereafter excreted scarcely until 1440 min.
