Abstract
The current disclosure provides a process for enzymatically converting a saccharide into tagatose. The invention also relates to a process for preparing tagatose where the process involves converting fructose 6-phosphate (F6P) to tagatose 6-phosphate (T6P), catalyzed by an epimerase, and converting the T6P to tagatose, catalyzed by a phosphatase.
Claims4
An enzymatic process for preparing tagatose, the process comprising the steps of:
- (i) converting fructose 6-phosphate (F6P) to tagatose 6-phosphate (T6P) catalyzed by a fructose 6-phosphate epimerase (F6PE);
- and
- (ii) converting the T6P produced to tagatose catalyzed by a tagatose 6-phosphate phosphatase (T6PP);
- wherein steps (i)-(ii) are conducted in a single reaction vessel.
