<p>The object of the present invention is to provide a novel process for producing isomaltose and uses thereof and is solved by providing a process for producing isomaltose characterized in that it comprises the steps of allowing alpha -isomaltosylglucosaccharide-forming enzyme, in the presence or the absence of alpha -isomaltosyl-transferring enzyme, to act on saccharides, which have a glucose polymerization degree of at least two and alpha -1,4 glucosidic linkage as a linkage at the non-reducing end, to form alpha -isomaltosylglucosaccharides, which have a glucose polymerization degree of at least three, alpha -1,6 glucosidic linkage as a linkage at the non-reducing end, and alpha -1,4 glucosidic linkage as a linkage other than the non-reducing end, and/or to form cycloä->6)- alpha -D-glucopyranosyl-(1->3)- alpha -D-glucopyranosyl-(1->6)- alpha -D-glucopyranosyl-(1->3)- alpha -D-glucopyranosyl-(1->ü; allowing isomaltose-releasing enzyme to act on the formed saccharides to release isomaltose; and collecting the released isomaltose; and uses thereof.</p> |
