生物转化生产稀有糖醇——阿洛醇(蒜糖醇)研究进展

Research progress for biotransformation of allitol

阿洛醇(又称蒜糖醇)是一种低热量六碳稀有糖醇,不会导致肥胖和血糖升高,适合于肥胖、糖尿病人群。此外,因其具有润肠通便等作用,在食品、医药等领域具有重要应用。同时,阿洛醇还是合成其他具有重要生理功能的D/L-型稀有糖的原料。文中介绍了阿洛醇的应用价值、生物合成方法,对生物合成阿洛醇的生物酶、生产工艺及研究进展进行了综述,并对阿洛醇的生物合成进行了展望。

Allitol is a low-calorie six-carbon rare sugar alcohol without weight or blood sugar increasing effects,which is suitable for obese and diabetic consumers.Allitol also has the effects of moistening intestines and laxative.It has important applications in food,medicine and other industries.In addition,allitol is also a raw material for the synthesis of other D/L-type rare sugars with important physiological functions.This article introduces the application values and biosynthetic method of allitol.The bio-enzymes,production process,and research progress for biosynthesis of allitol were summarized and the future for allitol biosynthesis was prospected.
