Abstract
Disclosed herein are methods of producing hexoses from saccharides by enzymatic processes. The methods utilize fructose 6-phosphate and at least one enzymatic step to convert it to a hexose.
Claims18
A process for preparing mannose from a saccharide, the process comprising:
- converting fructose 6-phosphate (F6P) to mannose 6-phosphate (M6P) catalyzed by mannose 6-phosphate isomerase (M6PI) or a phosphoglucose/phosphomannose isomerase (PGPMI);
- and
- converting the M6P to mannose catalyzed by a mannose 6-phosphate phosphatase (M6PP).
