METHOD OF PREPARING SEAWEED-DERIVED GALACTOSE USING AGARASE

摘要

Provided is a method of preparing galactose by enzymatic treatment of a red algae residue. The method of preparing galactose comprises: preparing a residue; treating the residue with an enzyme; concentrating the enzyme treated residue containing sugar mixture, and precipitating and particulating galactose by adding an alcohol to the concentrated sugar mixture. The preparation method according to the present invention provides a technique capable of industrially producing a substantial amount of galactose which is utilized as an important intermediate material in the preparation of biochemical materials.
