    Production of lactose derivative hetero-oligosaccharides from whey by glucansucrase E81 and determination of prebiotic functions

    İspirli, Hümeyra; Dertli, Enes

    Bioactive oligosaccharides are important compounds for development of functional foods and ingredients. In this study, lactose derivative hetero-oligosaccharides were produced by acceptor reaction of glucansucrase E81 with whey. The synthesis of oligosaccharides was monitored by Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) analysis followed by 1H and 13C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy analysis which demonstrated the glycosylation of lactose with α-(1 → 2), α-(1 → 3) and α-(1 → 4) linkages. Liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis demonstrated the formation of DP 7 oligosaccharides from whey. The synthesized oligosaccharides were not digested under in vitro human gastric juice and α-amylase conditions. The prebiotic effect of lactose derivative hetero-oligosaccharides was tested and no growth in pathogenic strains was observed whereas certain probiotic strains utilised lactose derivative hetero-oligosaccharides as Carbon source and their growth was promoted. These findings can be important to reveal the potential of glucansucrases to produce functional oligosaccharides from different sources including waste materials.

    Production of mannose-containing oligosaccharides by glucansucrase E81 and determination of their functional characteristics

    İspirli, Hümeyra; Dertli, Enes

    Oligosaccharides are one of the functional ingredients to be used in food technology. In this study, by using an active glucansucrase GTFA-ΔN E81 in the acceptor reaction of mannose, mannose-containing oligosaccharides were produced and their functionality was tested. The formation of the oligosaccharides were visualised by TLC analysis and mannose-containing oligosaccharides up to DP 7 were determined by LC-MS analysis. The presence of the (1,6)Glc and (1,3)Glc units within the oligosaccharides were determined by NMR analysis. The in vitro immune-modulatory functions of the mannose-containing oligosaccharides were determined but no induction in IL-4, IL-10, IL-12 and TNF-α cytokine levels were detected. Importantly this oligosaccharide mixture showed prebiotic effect by triggering the growth of tested probiotics and not affecting the growth of pathogen strains. Our findings reveals the potential of the role of glucansucrases for the production of functional oligosaccharides.

    Preparation of gentiobiose-derived oligosaccharides by glucansucrase E81 and determination of prebiotic and immune-modulatory functions

    İspirli, Hümeyra; Colquhoun, Ian J.; Şahin, Engin; Sagdic, Osman; Dertli, Enes

    Gentiobiose-derived oligosaccharides were synthesized by the acceptor reaction of glucansucrase E81 obtained from Lactobacillus reuteri E81 with sucrose and gentiobiose as donor-acceptor sugars, respectively. The reaction products were monitored by TLC analysis and gentiobiose-derived oligosaccharides up to DP 8 were formed during the acceptor reaction as determined by ESI-MS/MS analysis. The glycosylation of the gentiobiose with α-(1 → 6) linkages and α-(1 → 3) linkages was shown by 1H and 13C NMR analysis confirming the structure of these gentiobiose-derived oligosaccharides. The in vitro prebiotic function of the oligosaccharides was determined in which probiotic strains were stimulated whereas no growth was observed in pathogen strains. Gentiobiose-derived oligosaccharides showed immune-modulatory functions in vitro and triggered the production of IL-4, IL12 and TNF-α cytokines in HT29 cells in a dose dependent manner. This study showed the production and functional characterisation of gentiobiose-derived oligosaccharides establishing a promising avenue for future applications.

    Glucan type exopolysaccharide (EPS) shows prebiotic effect and reduces syneresis in chocolate pudding

    İspirli, Hümeyra; Demirbaş, Fatmanur; Dertli, Enes

    Exopolysaccharides (EPS) of lactic acid bacteria are important biopolymers that can improve the physicochemical properties of food products and act as prebiotics. In this study the physicochemical role and the prebiotic effects of a glucan type EPS with (α1-3) and (α1-6) linkages were assessed in chocolate pudding containing Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG as a probiotic strain. The functions of EPS were determined by developing three different formulations: control, probiotic (Lactobacillus GG) and symbiotic pudding (Lactobacillus GG + EPS) samples. The pH and acidity of the symbiotic pudding sample were higher than the probiotic and the control samples during the 28-day of storage period. Similarly, an important level of increment in Lactobacillus GG levels in symbiotic sample was observed compared to the probiotic sample suggesting the prebiotic role of the α-glucan. Importantly, the syneresis in symbiotic pudding sample reduced significantly compared to other pudding samples which is related with the physicochemical role of glucan type EPS. This study reveals the prebiotic and physicochemical roles of α-glucan type EPS in a chocolate pudding model.
