20090258389 | Construction of New Variants of Dextransucrase DSR-S by Genetic Engineering - The present invention relates to a recombinant process for the production of truncated and/or mutated dextransucrases while conserving their enzymatic activity and/or their specificity in the synthesis of the α-1,6 bonds. More precisely, the present invention relates to nucleic acid sequences of truncated and/or mutated dextransucrases, vectors containing said nucleic acid sequences and host cells transformed by sequences encoding truncated and/or mutated dextransucrases. In a further aspect, the invention concerns a method for producing, in a recombinant manner, truncated and/or mutated dextransucrases which conserve their enzymatic activity and/or which conserve their specificity in the synthsis of α-1,6 bonds and however can produce, from saccharose, dextrans with high molar mass and with modified rheological properties, compared with the properties of dextran obtained with the native enzyme in the same conditions and isomalto-oligosaccharides with a controlled molar mass and dextrans. The dextrans and IMO of the invention can be used namely as texturing agents or as prebiotics. | 10-15-2009 |
20100284972 | COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR MAKING ALPHA-(1,2)-BRANCHED ALPHA-(1,6) OLIGODEXTRANS - Compositions for improving the health of a subject comprise alpha-(1,2)-branched alpha-(1,6) oligodextrans, preferably with an average molecular weight between about 10 kDa and 70 kDa, between about 10% and 50% alpha-(1,2)-osidic side chains, and having at least partial indigestibility in the subject. Methods for improving the health of a subject comprise administering the composition to a subject in an amount effective to improve gut health, or to prevent or treat a gastrointestinal disorder, a cholesterol-related disorder, diabetes, or obesity. Methods for making oligodextrans having controlled size and controlled degree of branching comprise providing alpha-(1,6) oligodextrans having an average molecular weight between 0.5 and 100 kDa and introducing at least 10% alpha-(1,2)-osidic side chains onto the alpha-(1,6) oligodextrans. | 11-11-2010 |
