Abstract
There are provided aldolase, an aldolase mutant, a method for producing tagatose, and a composition for producing tagatose using the same. The technical feature of the present invention is environment-friendly due to the use of an enzyme acquired from microorganisms, requires only a simple process of enzyme-immobilization, uses a low-cost substrate compared with that of a conventional method for producing tagatose, and has a remarkably high yield, thereby greatly reducing production cost while maximizing production effect.
Claims11
A method of producing tagatose from fructose, the method comprising:
- reacting fructose 6-phosphate with tagatose 6-phosphate epimerase or a mutant thereof to obtain tagatose 6-phosphate;
- and
- converting the tagatose 6-phosphate to tagatose.
