Abstract:
MYCELIA HAVING STRONG A-GALACTOSIDASE ACTIVITY AND VERY WEAK INVERTASE ACTIVITY ARE OBTAINED BY CULTURING A MOLD BELONGING TO THE GENUS ABSIDIA IN A CULTURE MEDIUM INCORPORATING THEREIN AT LEAST ONE MEMBER SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF LACTOSE, MELIBIOSE, RAFFINOSE AND GALACTOSE. WHEN BEET MOLASSES IS TREATED WITH THE SAID MYCELIA, RAFFINOSE CONTAINED IN THE MOLASSES IS DECOMPOSED INTO SUCROSE AND GALACTOSE. THUS, THE YIELD OF SUCROSE CAN BE INCREASED.
Abstract:
In a method for producing sucrose from beets through a deionization treatment using ion-exchange resins, increasing the yield of sucrose by recovering sucrose from the molasses which is separated from sucrose when the massecuite resulting from the sugar-boiling process is subjected to centrifugal separation. Sucrose is recovered from the molasses by (i) allowing Alpha galactosidase to act upon the separated molasses thereby hydrolyzing the raffinose contained therein into sucrose and galactose and returning the resultant hydrolyzate to the purification process which includes the treatment of deionizing fresh diffusion juice with an ion-exchange resin, (ii) hydrolyzing the separated molasses into sucrose and raffinose with Alpha -galactosidase, deionizing the resultant hydrolyzate with an ion-exchange resins, and thereafter returning the deionized hydrolyzate to the purification process in which fresh diffusion juice is treated, or (iii) deionizing the separated molasses with an ion-exchange resins, subsequently hydrolyzing the raffinose contained therein into sucrose and galactose with Alpha -galactosidase, and thereafter returning the resulting hydrolyzate to the purification process in which fresh diffusion juice is treated; whereby the hydrolyzate is treated in the sugar-boiling process to effect recovery of sucrose contained therein. The molasses further separated centrifugally is treated again with Alpha -galactosidase and returned to the purification process in which fresh diffusion juice is treated.
Abstract:
A HIGHER FATTY ACID, A HIGHER ALCOHOL, A HIGHER ALDEHYDE OR A FUNCTIONAL DERIVATIVE THEREOF HAVING 12 OR MORE CARBON ATOMS IS INCORPORATED AS AN AGENT FOR ACCELERATING THE FORMATION OF A-GALACTOSIDASE INTO A BASIC CULTURES MEDIUM CONTAINING CARBON SOURCES, NITROGEN SOURCES AND INORGANIC SALTS. WHEN AN A-GALACTOSIDASE PRODUCING MOLD IS CULTURED IN THE CULTURE MEDIUM THUS PREPARED, AGALACTOSIDASE IS PRODUCED IN HIGH YIELDS IN A SHORT PERIOD OF CULTURING TIME.
Abstract:
A METHOD FOR CONVERTING GLUCOSE INTO FRUCTOSE USING A MICROORGANISM FROM THE STREPTOMYCES GENUS IN WHICH A GLUCOSE ISOMERIZING ENZYME IS FIXED IN THE MICROORGANISM BY THE STEPS OF TREATING THE MICROORGANISM CONTAINING THE ENZYME AT A TEMPERATURE OF ABOUT 60*C. TO ABOUT 85*C.
Abstract:
In an enzymatic reaction for isomerizing glucose into fructose with a glucose isomerase, a method is provided for converting glucose into fructose which is characterized by using calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate an anion-exchange resin or an amphoteric-ion exchange resin as a pH regulator.
Abstract:
An improved method for decomposing the raffinose contained in beet juice or beet molasses, in galactose and sucrose by using alpha-galactosidase produced from microorganisms, characterized in that the improvement comprises growing a mold belonging to the genus absidia in a culture medium incorporating therein, at least one sugar of the group consisting of lactose, melibiose, raffinose and galactose in the range of 0.5% to 1.5% by weight of the culture medium, and treating said beet juice or beet molasses with the alpha-galactosidase produced.
