A PROCESS FOR THE HYDROGENATION OF A SUGAR OR SUGAR MIXTURE
-
Page/Page column 10-13; 16-20, (2008/12/06)
A process for the hydrogenation of a ketose or a ketose-containing sugar mixture to produce a product mixture comprising at least two stereoisomeric sugar alcohols is disclosed. The process comprises the provision of a reaction mixture comprising said ketose or ketose-containing sugar mixture, the addition of a concentration of solid nickel-based catalyst to said reaction mixture, and conducting a hydrogenation reaction in said reaction mixture in the presence of hydrogen gas. With this process, it is possible to obtain a predefined ratio of cis-isomer to trans-isomer of the two stereoisomeric sugar alcohols. The ratio of cis-isomer to trans-isomer can be decreased by increasing the concentration of solid nickel-based catalyst, by decreasing the starting temperature of the heating step, and/or by decreasing the heating rate of the heating step.
Oligosaccharide synthesis by dextransucrase: New unconventional acceptors

The acceptor reactions of dextransucrase offer the potential for a targeted synthesis of a wide range of di-, tri- and higher oligosaccharides by the transfer of a glucosyl group from sucrose to the acceptor. We here report on results which show that the synthetic potential of this enzyme is not restricted to 'normal' saccharides. Additionally functionalized saccharides, such as alditols, aldosuloses, sugar acids, alkyl saccharides, and glycals, and rather unconventional saccharides, such as fructose dianhydride, may also act as acceptors. Some of these acceptors even turned out to be relatively efficient: α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→5)-D-arabinonic acid, α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-D-glucitol, α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→6)-D-glucitol, α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→6)-D-mannitol, α-D-fructofuranosyl-β-D-fructofuranosyl-(1,2′:2,3′)- dianhydride, 1,5-anhydro-2-deoxy-D-arabino-hex-1-enitol ('-glucal'), and may therefore be of interest for future applications of the dextransucrase acceptor reaction.
