Food manufacturing processes and technical data used in the exposure assessment of food enzymes
Abstract Food enzymes are used for technical purposes in the production of food ingredients or foods‐as‐consumed. In the European Union, the safety of a food enzyme is evaluated by EFSA on the basis of a technical dossier provided by an applicant. Dietary exposure is an integral part of the risk assessment of food enzymes.

Abstract Microbes can modify their hosts' stress tolerance, thus potentially enhancing their ecological range. An example of such interactions is Ectocarpus subulatus, one of the few freshwater‐tolerant brown algae. This tolerance is partially due to its (un)cultivated microbiome.

Gene Cloning, Structural Prediction, and Prokaryotic Expression of Agrobacterium tumefaciens D-Psicose-3-Epimerase(根癌农杆菌D-阿洛酮糖-3-差向异构酶基因克隆、结构预测及原核表达) [PDF]
D-Psicose can be converted from D-fructose catalyzed by D-psicose-3-epimerase. To realize the heterologous expression of D-psicose-3-epimerase (DPEase), the primers were designed to clone and isolate the gene.

Low-calorie sweetener d-psicose promotes hydrogen peroxide-mediated apoptosis in c2c12 myogenic cells favoring skeletal muscle cell injury [PDF]
Diet and exercise are the most effective approaches used to induce weight loss. D-psicose is a low-calorie sweetener that has been shown to reduce weight in obese individuals. However, the effect of D-psicose on muscle cells under oxidative stress, which

Expanding the enzyme repertoire for sugar nucleotide epimerization : the CDP-tyvelose 2-epimerase from Thermodesulfatator atlanticus for glucose/mannose interconversion [PDF]
Epimerization of sugar nucleotides is central to the structural diversification of monosaccharide building blocks for cellular biosynthesis. Epimerase applicability to carbohydrate synthesis can be limited, however, by the high degree of substrate ...

Potent Inhibitory Effects of D-tagatose on the Acid Production and Water-insoluble Glucan Synthesis of Streptococcus mutans GS5 in the Presence of Sucrose [PDF]
We examined and compared the inhibitory effects of D-tagatose on the growth, acid production, and water-insoluble glucan synthesis of GS5, a bacterial strain of Streptococcus mutans, with those of xylitol, D-psicose, L-psicose and L-tagatose.
