Galactose production

The approximate times of osazone formation in minutes are given in Table 111,139. The product from mannose is the simple hydrazone and is practically white. Arabinose osazone separates first as an oil, whilst that from galactose is highly crystalline. Lactose and maltose give no precipitate from hot solution.

Sucralose is quite stable to heat over a wide range of pH. However, the pure white dry powder, when stored at high temperature, can discolor owing to release of small quantities of HCl. This can be remedied by blending it with maltodextrin (93) and other diluents. The commercial product can be a powder or a 25% concentrate in water, buffered at pH 4.4. The latter solution may be stored for up to one year at 40°C. At lower pH, there is minimal decomposition. For example, in a pH 3.0 cola carbonated soft drink stored at 40°C, there is less than 10% decomposition after six months. The degradation products are reported to be the respective chlorinated monosaccharides, 4-chloro-4-deoxy-galactose (13) and l,6-dichloro-l,6-dideoxy-fmctose (14) (94). 

Galactose, a constituent of the disaccharide lactose found in dairy products, is metabolized by a patiiwav that includes the isomerization of UDP-galactose to UDP-glucose. where UDP = uridylyl diphosphate. The enzyme responsible for the transformation uses NAD+ as cofactor. Propose a mechanism. 

Galactose, one of the eight essential monosaccharides (Section 25.7), is biosynthesized from UDP-glucose by galactose 4-epimerase, where UDP = uridylyl diphosphate (a ribonucleotide diphosphate Section 28.1). The enzyme requires NAD+ for activity (Section 17.7), but it is not a stoichiometric reactant. and NADH is not a final reaction product. Propose a mechanism. 

Ginsenan S-IIA, a polysaccharide fraction from the roots of P. ginseng is a potent inducer of IL-8 production by human monocytes and THP-1 cells, and this induction is accompanied by increased IL-8 mRNA expression. The polysaccharide appears from the structural feature to be a mixture of arabino-galactan type I and type II, based on the presence of 1,3-, 1,6-, 1,3,6-, 1,4-, and 1,4,6-galactose units as well as terminal arabinose and 1,5-, 1,3,5-, and 1,2,5-linked units. It also contains 1,4,6-linked glucose units that together with the 1,2,5-linked arabinose units are different from the units found in other ginseng polysaccharides and may thus be of importance for the activity [64]. 

The reaction rate increased with temperature. The hydrolysis rate of AG at temperatures lower than 70 °C was very slow. At 80 °C, only complete release of arabinose was achieved, but partially hydrolyzed galactose residue was left. The conversion of AG was 43%. A complete conversion of AG to monomers was achieved at 90 and 100 °C. After the hydrolysis at 100 °C, traces of degradation products such as furfural were observed. For this reason, the temperature for AG hydrolysis shall not exceed 100 °C.
