Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing D-tagatose, and belongs to the field of D-tagatose preparation. Background Art

[0002] D-tagatose is an isomer of D-galactose, a rare ketohexose, and a new functional sweetener. D-tagatose has 92% of the sweetness of sucrose, but only 30% of the calories of sucrose, and a very low glycemic index. It can be used in food, health products, diabetes drugs and other industries. In recent years, the market demand for D-tagatose is strong and the development trend is good.

[0003] The production of D-tagatose mostly uses D-galactose as a substrate, which is isomerized to D-tagatose under the catalysis of chemical catalysts or L-arabinose isomerase (L-AI, EC 5.3.1.4) or recombinant cells containing L-AI. However, no matter which method is used, it faces the problem of low yield of D-tagatose, which increases the production cost of D-tagatose and limits the industrial production process of D-tagatose. In order to reduce costs, relatively cheap raw materials can be used while increasing the yield of D-tagatose. For example, the patent (application number: 2018116104494) prepares D-galactose by hydrolyzing lactose or whey, and the yield of D-tagatose is about 50% based on D-galactose.

[0004] my country has vast sea areas and abundant seaweed resources. Seaweed grows rapidly, has a high carbohydrate content, and is easy to handle. In recent years, it has become a potential resource for the production of biofuels and chemicals. At present, there are reports of using red algae as raw materials for bioethanol production. However, there are no reports on methods for producing D-tagatose using red algae as raw materials while achieving a high yield of D-tagatose. Summary of the invention

[0016] The preferred amount of boric acid added is such that the ratio of its molar concentration to the molar concentration of D-galactose is 0.5:1 to 1.2:1.

[0017] In step (3), the nucleotide sequence of the L-arabinose isomerase is shown in SEQ ID NO.1; the construction method of the recombinant Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) is as follows: the nucleotide sequence of the L-arabinose isomerase is cloned into an expression plasmid, the expression plasmid is pETDuet-1, to obtain a recombinant plasmid, and the recombinant plasmid is transformed into Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) to obtain the recombinant Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3).
