The present invention provides glucans and derivatives thereof which are useful as raw materials in the starch processing industries, food and drink compositions, food additive compositions, and starch substitutes for biodegradable plastics, and processes for preparing the same. Particularly, it provides glucans and derivatives thereof having excellent properties such as higher solubility in water than conventional starches, lower viscosity and the glucans are not subject to retrogradation which is observed in conventional starches, and which are capable of preventing the retrogradation of starches.
A glucan having in its molecule one cyclic structure, said cyclic structure having at least 17 alpha-1,4-glucosidic bonds.
A food and drink composition comprising:
An infusion solution comprising:
An adhesive composition comprising:
An inclusion material or an adsorption material comprising:
A food additive composition comprising:
An anti-starch retrodegrading agent comprising:
A glucan having in its molecule one cyclic structure, containing at least 17 alpha-1,4-glucosidic bonds, prepared by the process comprising reacting a linear alpha-1,4-glucan or a saccharide containing alpha-1,4-glucan with D-enzyme.
A glucan which has only a cyclic structure, said cyclic structure having at least 17 alpha-1,4-glucosidic bonds, wherein said glucan is prepared by the process comprising reacting a linear alpha-1,4-glucan or a saccharide containing alpha-1,4-glucan with D-enzyme.
A glucan having in its molecule one cyclic structure containing at least 17 alpha-1,4-glucosidic bonds and at least one alpha-1,6-glucosidic bond, prepared by the process comprising reacting a saccharide containing alpha-1,4-glucan with D-enzyme.
A glucan having in its molecule only a cyclic structure, said cyclic structure having at least 17 alpha-1,4-glucosidic bonds and at least one alpha-1,6-glucosidic bond, wherein said glucan prepared by the process comprising reacting a saccharide containing alpha-1,4-glucan with D-enzyme .
