We have studied the iron uptake by the purified brush-border membrane vesicles (BBMVs) to determine the effect of fructose on the absorption of iron. BBMVs were prepared by the modified calcium precipitation method, The degree of purification was routinely assessed by the marker enzyme, alkaline phosphatase, and the functional integrity was tested by $D-[1-^3H]glucose$ uptake. The appearance of membrane vesicles was shown by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The uptakes of complexes of labeled iron $[^{59}Fe]$ with fructose and ascorbate were measured with a rapid filtration technique, The uptake rate and pattern of the two iron-complexes, Fe(III)-fructose and Fe(III)-ascorbate, were also observed. A typical overshooting uptake of D-glucose was observed with peak value of $2{\sim}3$ times higher concentration than that at equilibrium. This result was similar to other studies with BBMVs. TEM showed that the size of BBMVs was uniform and we can hardly find any contaminants, Fe(III)-fructose has the higher value of $V_{max}$ and the lower value of Km than those of Fe(III)-ascorbate, respectively. It may be concluded that D-fructose is more effective in promoting the iron absorption than ascorbate.

We examine dosimetry application of irradiated D-fructose materials using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). Consequently, we consider that fructose is one of best dosimetry materials. We found that fructose is one of best candidates for dosimetry due to high linearity tilt of EPR signal intensity as a function of dose, irrelevant to photon energy, constant fading value. Also, our results show that fructose materials can be applied as a radiation detector to very weak radiation doses of 0.001 Gray by using EPR at a low temperature (T = 220 K).

Taste sensitivity to sugars plays an essential role in the initiation of feeding behavior. In Drosophila melanogaster, recent studies have identified several gustatory receptor (Gr) genes required for sensing sweet compounds. However, it is as yet undetermined how these GRs function as taste receptors tuned to a wide range of sugars. Among sugars, fructose has been suggested to be detected by a distinct receptor from other sugars. While GR43A has been reported to sense fructose in the brain, it is not expressed in labellar gustatory receptor neurons that show taste response to fructose. In contrast, the Gr64a-Gr64f gene cluster was recently shown to be associated with fructose sensitivity. Here we sought to decipher the genes required for fructose response among Gr64a-Gr64f genes. Unexpectedly, the qPCR analyses for these genes show that labellar expression levels of Gr64d and Gr64e are higher in fructose low-sensitivity flies than in high-sensitivity flies. Moreover, gustatory nerve responses to fructose in labellar sensilla are higher in Gr64d and Gr64f mutant lines than in mutant flies of the other Gr64a-Gr64f genes. These data suggest the possibility that deletion of GR64D or GR64F may indirectly induce enhanced fructose sensitivity in the labellum. Finally, we conclude that response to fructose cannot be explained by a single one of the Gr64a-Gr64f genes.

Adenine-guanine 동시영양요구성인 Brevibacterium ammoniagenes D-21530을 사용하여 5'-IMP을 생산할 경우, 5'-IMP생성에는 탄소원으로 fructose가 glucose보다 효율적이었다. 반면에 균 생육에는 glucose를 탄소원으로 사용하는 것이 좋았다. Glucose와 fructose를 혼합하여 사용할 때 균 생육을 적절히 조절하여 5'-IMP축적을 증가시켜 줄 수 있었으며 fructose와 glucose의 혼합당에 있는 fructose의 함유율을 20∼40%범위로 하였을 때 5'-IMP생성이 최대가 되었고 fructose 단독으로 사용할 때보다 약 40% 증가되었다. 또한 영양요구성물질인 adenine과 guanine의 첨가농도가 증가함에 따라 균생육이 촉진되나 150㎎/l 이상에서는 정상상태였고, 5'-IMP생성은 50㎎/l 까지는 첨가 농도에 따라 급격히 증가하나 그 이상에서는 감소하였다.

충치 원인균의 일종인 Streptococcus sobrinus ATCC27351 균주를 자외선 조사와 NTG 처리에 의하여 bacitracin 내성변이주를 얻었다. 선발된 변이주들 중 glucosyltransferase 활성이 모균주보다 증가된 변이주 4균주를 선발하였다. 이들의 bacitracin 내성은 모균주 보다 5~48배, glucosyltransferase 활성은 약 2배 증가하였다. 모균주의 glucosyltransferase를 이용하여 maltose acceptor 반응을 하여 \ulcorner 와 image analysis 로 분석하였다. 그 결과 sucrose 와 acceptor를 사용하여 반응을 시킨 결과 모균주와 변이주의 glucose 전이효소 사이에는 acceptor 특이성에 차이가 있었다. 모균주의 효소와는 반응하지 않는 acceptor 인 fructose를 함유하는 1-kestose와 nystose 그리고 turanose를 acceptor 로 하여 변이주 S. sobrinus BR24C 균주의 glucosyltransferase와 반응을 시켰다. 얻어진 acceptor 산물을 정제하여 \sup 1\H, \sup 13\C-NMR 분석을 한 결과, 자연계에서는 발견되지 않는 새로운 구조의 올리고당 \6^{3}$-$\alpha$-D-glucopyranosyl \3^{2}$-O-$\alpha$-D-glucopyranosyl-D-fructose와 \6^{4}$-$\alpha$-D-glucopyranosyl \1^{3}$-$\beta$-D-fructofuranosyl sucrose을 확인하였다.

Quantitative analysis of 5-hydroxymethylfufural (5-HMF) conversion from fructose by dehydration and rearrangement was investigated by $^1H$-NMR spectroscopic method. Fructose was converted to 5-HMF in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO)-$d^6$ or acidic deuterium hydroxide at controlled reaction temperature and time. With addition of internal standards (biphenyl for DMSO-$d^6$ solvent, and 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid for deuterium oxide solvent), conversion from fructose to 5-HMF was analyzed by $^1H$-NMR spectroscopy. Quantitative analysis was run by comparison with peak area integration between of 5-HMF and internal standard. In DMSO solvent, 5-HMF was stable end product but part of 5-HMF was converted to formic and levulinic acid at acidic aqueous medium.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of pH on the formation of acrylamide and acrylate from glucose and fructose reacting with amino acid enantiomers by the Maillard reaction. The acrylamide content was increased with increasing pH, except for Fru/D-Asn system. Both acrylamide and acrylate contents were higher in the glucose-based system compared to the fructose-based system at pH 10.0. However, according to amino acid enantiomers, only the acrylamide content showed a difference in the fructose-based system. In addition, the acrylate content was increased with increasing pH except in the Glc/L-Asn system. Acrylate formation was observed specifically at pH 4.0 for both the Glc/D-Asn and Fru/D-Asn systems.

${\text\tiny{D}}-Allose$ is a potential medical sugar because it has anticancer, antihypertensive, antiinflammatory, antioxidative, and immunosuppressant activities. Allose production from fructose as a cheap substrate was performed by a one-pot reaction using Flavonifractor plautii ${\text\tiny{D}}-allulose$ 3-epimerase (FP-DAE) and Clostridium thermocellum ribose 5-phosphate isomerase (CT-RPI). The optimal reaction conditions for allose production were pH 7.5, $60^{\circ}C$, 0.1 g/l FP-DAE, 12 g/l CT-RPI, and 600 g/l fructose in the presence of 1 mM $Co^{2+}$. Under these optimized conditions, FP-DAE and CT-RPI produced 79 g/l allose for 2 h, with a conversion yield of 13%. This is the first biotransformation of fructose to allose by a two-enzyme system. The production of allose by a one-pot reaction using FP-DAE and CT-RPI was 1.3-fold higher than that by a two-step reaction using the two enzymes.

유소직 세포들은 aldose인 D-glucose ketose인 D-fructose에 대하여 다른 능동 수송계를 소유하고 있었다. D-glucose와 D-fructose 수송계의 $K_{m}$ 값은 각각 0.28 mM과 15.02mM이었다. D-mannose는 $K_{m}$ 값이 0.44 mM로 D-glucose와 유사하였지만, 그러나 D-glucose와는 다른 수송계를 소유하고 있었다. L-glucose도 고유한 수송계를 통하여 세포내로 수송되었으며, 그러나 그 기능을 전혀 알지 못하고 있다. 유조직 원형질체는 단당류 능동 수송계만을 소유하고, 이당류인 sucrose능동 수송계는 소유하지 않고 있었다. 발달 초기단계에 있는 사부 원형질체는 glucose와 sucrose 수송계를 동시에 소유하고 있었다. 완전히 발달된 사부세포에서는 이미 존재하였던 glucose 능동 수송계는 사라지고, 새로 유도된 sucrose 능동 수송계만 존재하는 것으로 측정되었다.

One osmotolerant strain from among 44 yeast isolates was selected based on its growth abilities in media containing high concentrations of sucrose. This selected strain, named SK-ENNY, was identified as Meyerozyma guilliermondii by sequencing the internal transcribed spacer regions and partial D1/D2 large-subunit domains of the 26S ribosomal RNA. SK-ENNY was utilized to produce high-fructose glucose syrup (HFGS) from sucrose-containing biomass. Conversion rates to HFGS from 310-610 g/l of pure sucrose and from 75-310 g/l of sugar beet molasses were 73.5-94.1% and 76.2-91.1%, respectively. In the syrups produced, fructose yields were 89.4-100% and 96.5-100% and glucose yields were 57.6-82.5% and 55.3-79.5% of the theoretical values for pure sucrose and molasses sugars, respectively. This is the first report of employing M. guilliermondii for production of HFGS from sucrose-containing biomass.
