Abstract:
A method is disclosed for hydrolyzing an alpha-1,5 glucosyl-fructose linkage in a saccharide (disaccharide or oligosaccharide) such as leucrose. This method comprises contacting the saccharide with an alpha-glucosidase enzyme such as transglucosidase or glucoamylase under suitable conditions, during which contacting step the enzyme hydrolyzes at least one alpha-1,5 glucosyl-fructose linkage of the saccharide. This method is useful for reducing the amount of leucrose in a filtrate isolated from a glucan synthesis reaction, for example.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of reducing the amount of a saccharide present in (i) a glucan synthesis reaction, or (ii) a fraction thereof, wherein the method comprises:\n contacting said glucan synthesis reaction or fraction thereof with an alpha-glucosidase enzyme, wherein the amount of the saccharide is reduced in the glucan synthesis reaction or fraction thereof compared to the amount of the saccharide that was present prior to said contacting, and wherein said saccharide is a byproduct of the glucan synthesis reaction and is (a) leucrose or (b) a disaccharide or oligosaccharide that comprises at least one alpha-1,3 or alpha-1,6 glucosyl-glucose linkage.
