Biosynthesis of rare hexoses using microorganisms and related enzymes
Rare sugars, referred to as monosaccharides and their derivatives that rarely exist in nature, can be applied in many areas ranging from foodstuffs to pharmaceutical and nutrition industry, or as starting materials for various natural products and drug ...

Signalling and regulation of plant development by carbon/nitrogen balance
Abstract The two most abundant macronutrients in plant cells are carbon (C) and nitrogen (N). Coordination of their cellular metabolism is a fundamental factor in guaranteeing the optimal growth and development of plants. N availability and assimilation profoundly affect plant gene expression and modulate root and stem architecture, thus affecting ...

From Sweetness to Mouthfeel: A Review on Overcoming Sensory Barriers in Sugar‐Free Beverages
Background Over recent decades, considerable research has focused on understanding sweet taste mechanisms and developing new noncarbohydrate sweeteners due to rising noncommunicable diseases. New regulations limiting high sugar levels in food and beverages have driven innovation towards reduced‐sugar and sugar‐free products, often using noncarbohydrate

Abstract The qualified presumption of safety (QPS) process was developed to provide a safety assessment approach for microorganisms intended for use in food or feed chains. In the period covered by this Statement, no new information was found that would change the status of previously recommended QPS taxonomic units (TUs).

Exploiting Archaeal/Thermostable Enzymes in Synthetic Chemistry: Back to the Future?
Thermostable and (hyper)thermophilic enzymes offer important opportunities for innovative, stereoselective and sustainable chemistry transformations. Many of these are archaeal enzymes that have evolved to operate under extreme conditions, including at elevated temperature.

Abstract d‐Allulose, a C‐3 epimer of d‐fructose, is a rare sugar with ∼70% of the sweetness of sucrose but a caloric content of only 0.4 kcal/g. Due to its low‐calorie nature, d‐allulose has garnered increasing interest in the food industry. This study was the first attempt to explore the effect of d‐allulose as a sucrose replacer on the properties of ...
