Insulin mimetic effect of D‐allulose on apolipoprotein A‐I gene

Journal of Food Biochemistry, 2022
Several nutrients modulate the transcriptional activity of the apolipoprotein A-I (apo A-I) gene. To determine the influence of rare sugars on apo A-I expression in hepatic (HepG2) and intestinal derived (Caco-2) cell lines, apo A-I, albumin, and SP1 were quantified with enzyme immunoassay and Western blots while mRNA levels were quantified with real ...

A study of D-allulose-associated reproductive toxicity in rats

Food and Chemical Toxicology, 2019
In this study, we assessed whether D-allulose was associated with reproductive toxicity in rats, assessing reproduction and offspring growth following gavage of parents with 0, 500, 1000, and 2000 mg/kg of this compound. Specifically, female rats were continuously dose from 2 weeks prior to mating until day 21 of lactation, while males were dose for ...

Tailored magnetic silica-immobilized D-allulose 3-epimerase with enhanced stability and recyclability for efficient D-allulose production

International Journal of Biological Macromolecules
D-allulose, a low-calorie functional sweetener, is produced by the enzymatic conversion of d-fructose via D-allulose 3-epimerase (DAE) and holds significant market potential, particularly for individuals with obesity and diabetes. However, the limited reusability and stability of DAE have restricted its industrial application.

Semi‐rational engineering of D‐allulose 3‐epimerase for simultaneously improving the catalytic activity and thermostability based on D‐allulose biosensor

Biotechnology Journal
AbstractBackgroundD‐Allulose is one of the most well‐known rare sugars widely used in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries. The most popular method for D‐allulose production is the conversion from D‐fructose catalyzed by D‐allulose 3‐epimerase (DAEase).

Engineering Escherichia coli for D-allulose biosynthesis from glycerol

Journal of Biotechnology
D-allulose, a naturally occurring monosaccharide, is present in small quantities in nature. It is considered a valuable low-calorie sweetener due to its low absorption in the digestive tract and zero energy for growth. Most of the recent efforts to produce D-allulose have focused on in vitro enzyme catalysis. However, microbial fermentation is emerging

d-Allulose enhances postprandial fat oxidation in healthy humans

Nutrition, 2017
d-Allulose, a C-3 epimer of d-fructose, has been reported to decrease body weight and adipose tissue weight in animal studies and is expected to be a potent antiobese sweetener. Our animal study suggested that one of the mechanisms of d-allulose's antiobesity function is an increase in energy expenditure.

Designable immobilization of D-allulose 3-epimerase on bimetallic organic frameworks based on metal ion compatibility for enhanced D-allulose production

International Journal of Biological Macromolecules
D-allulose, a low-calorie rare sugar catalyzed by D-allulose 3-epimerase (DAE), is highly sought after for its potential health benefits. However, poor reusability and stability of DAE limited its popularization in industrial applications. Although metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) offer a promising enzyme platform for enzyme immobilization, developing ...

Elucidation of d-allulose recognition mechanism in ketose 3-epimerase

Journal of Bioscience and Bioengineering
d-Allulose is a low-calorie sweetener with multiple nutritional functions that can be produced through d-fructose isomerization by ketose 3-epimerase (KEase). l-Ribulose 3-epimerase from Arthrobacterglobiformis (AgLRE) is one of the most important enzymes that produce d-allulose; however, its substrate recognition mechanism is unknown.

Identification of hyperthermophilic D-allulose 3-epimerase from Thermotoga sp. and its application as a high-performance biocatalyst for D-allulose synthesis

Bioprocess and Biosystems Engineering
D-Allulose 3-epimerase (DAE) is a vital biocatalyst for the industrial synthesis of D-allulose, an ultra-low calorie rare sugar. However, limited thermostability of DAEs hinders their use at high-temperature production. In this research, hyperthermophilic TI-DAE (Tm = 98.4 ± 0.7 ℃) from Thermotoga sp. was identified via in silico screening.

The effects of D-allulose on the gelatinization and gelling properties of wheat starch

International Journal of Biological Macromolecules
D-Allulose, with its low calorie content and sweetness comparable to sucrose, has gained significant attention from researchers as an ideal substitute for sucrose. Here, we investigated the effects of D-allulose on the physicochemical properties and texture of wheat starch. The gelatinization results showed that D-allulose (D-allulose: wheat starch = 1:
