PROCESS FOR PRODUCING DISACCHARIDES AND NOVEL SACCHARIDES

摘要

A process for producing a disaccharide by conducting the condensation reaction of beta -glucose-1-phosphate with a monosaccharide in an aqueous medium in the presence of an enzyme source originating in a microorganism of the genus Cattellatospora, Kineosporia, Propionibacterium or Enterococcus and having a sugar phosphorolytic activity, and harvesting the disaccharide formed in the medium. The obtained novel disaccharides are useful as medicine, food, cosmetic and enzyme stabilizer.
