This is followed by transfer of the glucosyl moiety to an acceptor substrate with retention of the α-anomeric configuration. In case of acceptor reactions, the orientation of the bound acceptor substrate towards the reaction center determines the type of linkages formed in the transglycosylation ...
Lactose, as the main sugar of milk, is formed from β-1,4-glycosidic bonding of galactose and glucose (Zaccheria, Mariani, Scotti, Psaro, & Ravasio, 2017). As an alternative to carbohydrates, the determination of lactose amount in human foods is an important issue (Lopez, Ma, Ludwig, ...
Due to stricter environmental legislation and implementation of the “waste valorization” concept, recycling of dairy effluent, whey, has drawn
Human milk contains <50% less protein (casein) than cow milk, but is equally effective in insulin secretion despite lower postingestion hyperaminoacidemia. Such potency of human milk might be modulated either by incretins (glucagon-like polypeptide-1,GLP-1); glucose-inhibitory-polypeptide, GIP),...
LPH is found on the upper surface of enterocytes on the microvilli of the small intestine and is largely expressed in the central jejunum. Once lactose is hydrolyzed, the monosaccharides are individually utilized by the body; glucose as a source of energy, galactose as part of glycoproteins and...
EC 5.3.1.5) is an intracellular enzyme that catalyzes the partial and reversible in vivo isomerization of D-xylose into D-xylulose and in vitro of D-glucose into D-fructose [22], and therefore has the potential to transform glucose, the other product (along with galactose) of enzymatic lact...
