Innovative biochemical technologies have been developed for obtaining a fucose-containing carbohydrate complex and a tagatose-containing sweetener from the secondary dairy raw material, lactose. A method for the production of tagatose has been tested, including the enzymatic treatment of lactose Lactozym 6500 L Pure at pH = 6.2 for 4.5 hours and an enzyme dosage of 7500 LAU/dm3. The kinetic parameters of lactose hydrolysis were calculated: maximum rate and order of the chemical reaction (V max = 1.08 ⋅ 10-5, n = 0.6967). The qualitative and quantitative parameters of lactose hydrolysis and isomerization of galactose into tagatose, obtained by HPLC, are presented. The degree of lactose hydrolysis is 92%; the tagatose yield is 41%. A method for the production of fucose from lactose with subsequent conversion of galactose into fucitol and enzymatic isomerization into fucose is proposed. The fucose yield is 42.5% of the total solid mass.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
