Abstract:
A method is disclosed for hydrolyzing an alpha-1,3 or alpha-1,6 glucosyl-glucose linkage in a saccharide (disaccharide or oligosaccharide). This method comprises contacting the saccharide with an alpha-glucosidase enzyme such as transglucosidase under suitable conditions, during which contacting step the enzyme hydrolyzes at least one alpha-1,3 or alpha-1,6 glucosyl-glucose linkage of the saccharide. This method is useful for reducing the amount of oligosaccharides in a filtrate isolated from a glucan synthesis reaction, for example.

Claim (Index 16):
A method that comprises:\n (a) providing an alpha-glucan synthesis reaction that comprises a soluble disaccharide or oligosaccharide byproduct, wherein at least 90% of the glycosidic linkages of the alpha-glucan are alpha-1,3-glycosidic linkages; and (b) contacting the soluble disaccharide or oligosaccharide byproduct with an alpha-glucosidase enzyme, wherein the amount of the soluble disaccharide or oligosaccharide byproduct is reduced compared to the amount of the soluble disaccharide or oligosaccharide byproduct that was present prior to said contacting.
