Isomaltose–oligosaccharides (IMOs), as food ingredients with prebiotic functionality, can be prepared via enzymatic synthesis using α-glucosidase. In the present study, the α-glucosidase (GSJ) from Geobacillus sp. strain HTA-462 was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). Recombinant GSJ was purified and biochemically characterized. The optimum temperature condition of the recombinant enzyme was 65 ?C, and the half-life was 84 h at 60 ?C, whereas the enzyme was active over the range of pH 6.0–10.0 with maximal activity at pH 7.0. The α-glucosidase activity in shake flasks reached 107.9 U/mL and using 4-Nitrophenyl β-D-glucopyranoside (pNPG) as substrate, the Km and Vmax values were 2.321 mM and 306.3 U/mg, respectively. The divalent ions Mn2+ and Ca2+ could improve GSJ activity by 32.1% and 13.8%. Moreover, the hydrolysis ability of recombinant α-glucosidase was almost the same as that of the commercial α-glucosidase (Bacillus stearothermophilus). In terms of the transglycosylation reaction, with 30% maltose syrup under the condition of 60 ?C and pH 7.0, IMOs were synthesized with a conversion rate of 37%. These studies lay the basis for the industrial application of recombinant α-glucosidase.

The aglu of Aspergillus niger encodes the pro-protein of α-glucosidase, and the mature form of wild-type enzyme is a heterosubunit protein. In the present study, the cDNA of α-glucosidase was cloned and expressed in Pichia pastoris strain KM71. The activity of recombinant enzyme in a 3 L fermentor reached 2.07 U/mL after 96 h of induction. The recombinant α-glucosidase was able to produce oligoisomaltose. The molecular weight of the recombinant enzyme was estimated to be about 145 kDa by SDS-PAGE, and it reduced to 106 kDa after deglycosylation. The enzymatic activity of recombinant α-glucosidase was not significantly affected by a range of metal ions. The optimum temperature of the enzyme was 60 °C, and it was stable below 50 °C. The enzyme was active over the range of pH 3.0-7.0 with maximal activity at pH 4.5. Using pNPG as substrate, the Km and Vmax values were 0.446 mM and 43.48 U/mg, respectively. These studies provided the basis for the application of recombinant α-glucosidase in the industry of functional oligosaccharides.

The present invention has objects to provide a glucan useful as water-soluble dietary fiber, its preparation and uses. The present invention solves the above objects by providing a branched α-glucan, which is constructed by glucose molecules and characterized by methylation analysis as follows: (1) Ratio of 2,3,6-trimethyl-1,4,5-triacetyl-glucitol to 2,3,4-trimethyl-1,5,6-triacetyl-glucitol is in the range of 1:0.6 to 1:4;(2) Total content of 2,3,6-trimethyl-1,4,5-triacetyl-glucitol and 2,3,4-trimethyl-1,5,6-triacetyl-glucitol is 60% or higher in the partially methylated glucitol acetates;(3) Content of 2,4,6-trimethyl-1,3,5-triacetyl-glucitol is 0.5% or higher but less than 10% in the partially methylated glucitol acetates; and(4) Content of 2,4-dimethyl-1,3,5,6-tetraacetyl-glucitol is 0.5% or higher in the partially methylated glucitol acetates; a novel α-glucosyltransferase which forms the branched α-glucan, processes for producing them, and their uses.

The novel fluorous support Hfb (hexakisfluorous chain-type butanoyl) was easily prepared. The Hfb group was readily introduced into the anomeric hydroxyl group of a carbohydrate, and was recyclable after cleavage. The use of the Hfb group was applicable for the rapid oligosaccharide synthesis in which the synthetic intermediates could be purified using fluorous and normal organic solvents. Each synthetic intermediate could be monitored by TLC, NMR and mass spectrometry. Graphical Abstract

Dehydrative glycosylations of the 2-, 3-, 4-, and 6-OH groups of D-glucopyranose with hepta-O-benzyl derivatives of glucobioses (O-D-glucopyranosyl-(1->n)-D-glucopyranose; n = 2, 3, 4, or 6) and lactose, in the presence of a ternary mixture of p-nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride, silver trifluoromethanesulfonate, and triethylamine in dichloromethane showed that the selectivity of the reaction depended on the anomeric configuration and the linking position to the reducing tribenzylglucose moiety of the nonreducing tetrabenzylglucosyl residue and on the class of the OH group to be glycosylated.The use of a quaternary mixture of p-nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride, silver trifluoromethanesulfonate, N,N-dimethylacetamide, and triethylamine made all but the β(1->2)-linked biosyl donor undergo α-condensation.Several new linear trisaccharides were obtained via debenzylation of the condensates.
