A Novel Metabolic Pathway for Glucose Production Mediated by α-Glucosidase-catalyzed Conversion of 1,5-Anhydrofructose [PDF]

, 2012
α-Glucosidase is in the glycoside hydrolase family 13 (13AG) and 31 (31AG). Only 31AGs can hydrate the D-glucal double bond to form α-2-deoxyglucose. Since 1,5-anhydrofructose (AF), having 2-OH-group, mimics the oxocarbenium-ion transition-state, AF may ...

Transgenic Mixed‐Linkage‐Glucan Enhancement Affects Root Characteristics and Decomposition in Soils of Contrasting Vegetation History

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 10, October 2026.
Incubations with fine and coarse roots of transgenic and wild type bioenergy sorghum showed that transgenic roots had higher content of mixed‐linkage glucan and resulted in greater soil microbial biomass than the roots of the vector control plants.

Engineering Slowly Digestible Starch via Physical and Enzymatic Modification: Structural Mechanisms of Formation

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Dietary starch varies in digestion rate: Rapidly digestible fractions cause sharp postprandial glucose spikes linked to chronic disease, whereas slowly digestible starch (SDS) breaks down gradually, producing a moderate glycemic response. Increasing SDS content is therefore a key objective in developing carbohydrate‐rich foods with improved ...

Glucan synthase of Phytophthora sojae [PDF]

, 2002
Glucans, with the (1-3)-b-glucosidic linkage as major feature, are present in most of the higher plants, in many lower plants, as well as in microorganisms (Stone and Clarke, 1992). The synthesis of (1-3)-b-glucan in vivo is catalysed by the enzyme (1-3)-

Integrated transcriptome–metabolome analyses reveal regulatory networks underlying soluble solids accumulation in Capsicum chinense fruits

The Plant Journal, Volume 127, Issue 1, July 2026.
SUMMARY The Capsicum genus shows remarkable phenotypic diversity, making it an excellent system to study non‐climacteric fruit ripening. Unlike climacteric model species, such as tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), the regulatory networks linking transcriptome and metabolome to fruit quality traits remain poorly understood in non‐climacteric crop species ...

Safety of the food enzyme glucoamylase from a genetically modified Aspergillus niger (strain NZYM‐BF)

EFSA Journal, 2018
The food enzyme glucoamylase (glucan 1,4‐α‐glucosidase; EC 3.2.1.3) is produced with the genetically modified strain of Aspergillus niger by Novozymes A/S. The genetic modifications do not give rise to safety concerns. The food enzyme is free from viable

Structural Characterization and Hypoglycemic Effects of a Purified Polysaccharide From Cinnamomum cassia

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
CCP1A, a polysaccharide purified from Cinnamomum cassia with a molecular weight of approximately 8.16 kDa and rich in glucose and galacturonic acid, exerts anti‐type 2 diabetes effects through a multi‐target synergistic mechanism. On one hand, it delays intestinal glucose absorption by inhibiting the activities of α‐amylase and α‐glucosidase in the ...
