Abstract
A method of oxidizing a saccharide, by contacting the saccharide with an alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) enzyme selected from a quinone redox cofactor-dependent ADH, a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) redox cofactor-dependent ADH, a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+) redox cofactor-dependent ADH, and any combination thereof is described. An oxidized saccharide obtainable by the method and products, in particular food products and paper products, containing the oxidized saccharide, are also described.
Claims43
A method of oxidising a saccharide, comprising contacting the saccharide with a quinone redox cofactor-dependent alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) enzyme wherein the quinone redox cofactor-dependent ADH is a recombinantly produced polypeptide having alcohol dehydrogenase activity comprising amino acid sequence SEQ ID No. 7 or an amino acid sequence having at least 90% amino acid sequence identity therewith, but not SEQ ID NO:
- 1.
A recombinantly produced polypeptide having alcohol dehydrogenase activity comprising amino acid sequence SEQ ID No. 7 or an amino acid sequence having at least 90% amino acid sequence identity therewith but not SEQ ID No. 1.
