synthesis method | 1-o-β-d-glucopyranose-D-mannitol dihydrate (hereinafter referred to as 1,1-GPM) the synthesis of isomaltulose is generally divided into two steps: 1) the Invertase is first converted into isomaltulose, and 2) the isolated isomaltulose is then hydrogenated over Raney nickel catalyst. Wherein the conversion of sucrose to isomaltulose can be accomplished by the microorganism protobacterium rubrum, the isomaltulose obtained in this way is converted to 1 by hydrogenation in the presence of Raney nickel catalyst, A mixture of 1-GPM and 6-o-α-d-glucopyranosyl-D-sorbitol (abbreviated as 1,6-GPS) was then concentrated by evaporation and cooling crystallization. |
Application example | 1-o-β-d-glucopyranose-D-mannitol dihydrate (hereinafter referred to as 1,1-GPM) and 6-o-α-d-glucopyranosyl-D-sorbitol (abbreviated as 1,6-GPS) mixtures used as prebiotics and/or butyrate donors, especially in human foods and other consumer products, used as a digestible and beneficial intestinal health carbohydrate in animal feed products and/or pharmaceuticals; Isomalt (hydrogenated isomaltulose) is a kind of 1,6-GPS and 1,1-GPM is a major component of the sugar substitute, which has advantages due to its non-cariogenic low calorie and diabetes suitability. |
