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.

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.

İncele - MakaleYalnız künye2019Scopus SJRQ1Partial characterization of a levan type exopolysaccharide (EPS) produced by Leuconostoc mesenteroides showing immunostimulatory and antioxidant activities
Taylan, Osman; Yilmaz, Mustafa Tahsin; Dertli, Enes
Leuconostoc mesenteroides S81 was isolated from traditional sourdough as an exopolysaccharide (EPS) producer strain. The monosaccharide composition of the EPS from strain S81 was characterized by HPLC analysis and only fructose was found in the repeating unit structure. The NMR spectroscopy analysis revealed that EPS was a levan type EPS as a β-(2 → 6)-linked fructan. The FTIR analysis further confirmed the presence of the furanoid rings in the EPS structure. The levan S81 showed high level of thermal stability determined by DSC and TGA analysis. The lyophilised levan S81 showed a sheet-like compact morphology and its aqueous solution formed spheroidal lumps with a compact structure detected by SEM and AFM analysis, respectively. Importantly the levan S81 showed a high level of immunomodulatory role, induced the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-4, and exhibited a strong antioxidant capacity with EC50 value 1.7 mg mL−1 obtained by hydroxyl radical scavenging activity test under in vitro conditions. These findings reveal potential of levan S81 for technological purposes and as a potential natural immunomodulatory and antioxidant.
