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.
Claims16
A process for preparing galactose from a saccharide, the process comprising:
- converting fructose 6-phosphate (F6P) to tagatose 6-phosphate (T6P) catalyzed by fructose 6-phosphate epimerase (F6PE);
- converting the T6P to galactose 6-phosphate (Gal6P) catalyzed by galactose 6-phosphate isomerase (Gal6PI);
- and
- converting the Gal6P to galactose catalyzed by galactose 6-phosphate phosphatase (Gal6PP).
