The present invention relates to methods for preparing high purity
gentiooligosaccharides, high purity oligosaccharides obtained therefrom and uses
thereof, and more particularly to methods for preparing high purity
gentiooligosaccharides that can be beneficially used as alternatives to foods such as
cocoa, chocolate, coffee, beer, tea, bread or confectionery ts, ges, etc., and
main ingredients thereof without producing unnecessary by-products by ting low
purity gentiooligosaccharides containing large amounts of glucose with microorganisms
to remove glucose therefrom.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Gentiooligosaccharides are sweeteners composed of mainly biose and
cellobiose that are disaccharides synthesized by enzymes from glucose, and are the
generic name of oligosaccharides having [3-1,6-glucoside bonds. Gentiooligosaccharides
are composed of gentiobiose, cellobiose, gentiotn'ose, tetraose, etc., and their main
ingredient is gentiobiose which is a haride having a strong bitter taste.
Gentiooligosaccharides are found in the roots or stems of plants and in natural
honey and are prepared by an enzymatic reaction using starch as raw material.
Gentiooligosaccharides are known as low digestible sugars that aid in mineral absorption,
are selectively utilized by Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus to help improve intestinal
microbial flora, and have an intestinal regulation effect similar to that of
galactooligosaccharide which has an excellent inal regulation effect.
Gentiooligosaccharides are characterized by having a softer and fresher bitterness
in comparison with substances having a bitter taste, such as Naringin. The bitter taste of
gentiooligosaccharides, in harmony with the bitter taste of various foods such as
chocolate, cocoa, coffee, beer, tea, etc.,, lessens the astringency of fruits and vegetables
and softens the bitterness of foods having a bitter taste and increases ences to food
by the on of small amounts. Gentiooligosaccharides can be applied to various
foods, for example, fruit juices such as orange juice and pineapple juice, coffee,
vegetable drinks, pumpkin congee, etc.
Such gentiooligosaccharides can be ed industrially from a high
concentration of glucose by condensation and transglucosylation reactions using a fungal
B-glucosidase (see [Umino Takehiro: Study of Industrial Production of
Gentiooligosaccharide, Journal of Applied Glycoscience (Japan), 42, 83 (1995)]).
Currently, gentiooligosaccharides having a purity as high as 45% are produced by
enzymatic sis, and those having a purity as high as 90% or higher are produced by
using cation exchange resins. Here, the remaining components other than
gentiooligosaccharides are ily glucose, and for example, gentiooligosaccharides
having a purity of 45% n about 50 to 55% by weight of glucose, based on the total
weight of saccharide components, while gentiooligosaccharides having a purity of 90%
contain about 0.5 to 5% by weight of glucose based on the total weight of saccharide
components.
Glucose has about 60% of the sweetness of e. Sometimes, glucose
contained in gentiooligosaccharides plays a role in providing sweetness, but there are
instances where it inhibits the manifestation of bitterness depending on the subjects to
which it is applied. In addition, it is lt to apply gentiooligosaccharides to subjects
due to the e contained therein. For e, in the case of chocolates, the addition
of gentiooligosaccharides containing a high content of glucose may cause difficulties in
molding. Accordingly, there may be a need to use gentiooligosaccharides having high
purities depending on the ts to which they are applied. Further, the higher the
purity of oligosaccharides, one can obtain the effect with less amount, thereby making it
le to achieve the same effects with small amounts. Thus, the preparation of high
purity gentiooligosaccharides is essential.
However, practically there are a number of limitations in preparing high purity
gentiooligosaccharides. Previously, a case has been reported where the purity of
gentiooligosaccharides was raised to about 90% or higher by columns utilizing ion
exchange resins (see [Umino Takehiro: Study of Industrial Production of
Gentiooligosaccharide, Journal of Applied Glycoscience (Japan), 42, 85-91 (1995)]).
r, according to column chromatography, the purity is determined depending on
the degree of separation during the ation of high purity oligosaccharides, but
there are disadvantages in that when separating gentiooligosaccharides with high purity,
the amount of the by—product fractions increases and gentiooligosaccharides are eluted
with the glucose fractions, resulting in a low yield. Furthermore, in cases where by-
product fractions are sought to be used for other purposes, the by-product ons need
to be t to retreatment such as decomposition of gentiooligosaccharides into glucose
by low concentrations of enzyme, since large amounts of glucose and small amounts of
gentiooligosaccharide are contained therein.

DETAILED PTION FOR PRACTICING THE INVENTION
The methods for preparing high purity gentiooligosaccharides according to the
present invention comprise adding a low purity oligosaccharide to a liquid
medium; ting the liquid medium to inoculation with a microorganism, followed by
incubation and fermentation to consume glucose that is contained in the low purity
gentiooligosaccharide; removing the microorganism from the obtained tation
broth; and subjecting the broth to purification.
The low purity gentiooligosaccharides that are used in the t invention as
raw material are not particularly limited, and any gentiooligosaccharides that are obtained
by the conventional methods of preparing gentiooligosaccharide, e.g., by condensation
and lucosylation reactions using a fungal beta-glucosidase from a high
concentration of glucose (see [Umino Takehiro: Study of Industrial Production of
Gentiooligosaccharide, Journal of Applied Glycoscience (Japan), 42, 83 (1995)]), or
gentiooligosaccharides obtained by conventional gentiooligosaccharide preparation
processes and then initially purified with columns utilizing ion exchange resins to
enhance purity may be used. The low purity gentiooligosaccharides that are used in the
present invention contain about 15 to 65% by weight of glucose and can be added in solid
concentrations of 5 to 70% (w/v), based on the volume of the e medium.
In addition, the e medium for fermentation of the present invention may
n 0.1 to 1.5% (w/v) of yeast extract, 0.1 to 0.5% (w/v) of malt extract, and 0.1 to
0.8% (w/v) of peptone as culture medium components.
Among the above culture medium components, those such as yeast extract, malt
extract, and peptone are added for the growth of microorganisms for removing the
glucose contained in the gentiooligosaccharides, and it is desirable that such components
are added in amounts within the above ranges for the efficient culture of microorganisms.
The yeast extracts ed in the liquid medium for the fermentation of the
present invention are soluble exudates that are ted from yeasts and are well
known in the art. They are superior stimuli for the growth of microorganisms, and play a
role in supplying the incubation medium with vitamins, nitrogen, amino acids, carbon,
etc. It is desirable that the yeast ts are used in the concentration of 0.1 to 1.5%
(w/v) based on the culture medium.
The malt extracts are obtained by growing barley grain with yeast and mold.
Further, since they contain high concentrations of carbohydrates, maltose in particular,
malt extracts are suitable for the culture of microorganisms such as yeast and fungi and
play a role in supplying the medium with nutrients such as carbon and ns. It is
desirable that the malt ts are used in the concentration of 0.1 to 0.5% (w/v) based
on the culture medium.
Peptones are yellow powders of small molecules containing trace amounts of
proteose, which are obtained by the digestion of proteins such as animal meat and casein
using enzymes such as pepsin, trypsin, pancreatine, and are used as nitrogen sources in
the culture medium. It is desirable that peptones are used in the concentration of 0.1 to
0.8% (w/v) based on the culture medium.
In addition, the liquid medium for the fermentation of the present invention may
contain small amounts of onal components, such as an antifoaming agent, for the
efficient culture when foam is generated during microorganism fermentation for the
consumption of glucose contained in the gentiooligosaccharides.
As the microorganisms used in the fermentation for obtaining high purity
gentiooligosaccharides according to the present invention, those that consume glucose as
carbon sources while not consuming gentiooligosaccharides, for example, fermentation
fungi such as yeast, bacteria and mold may be used. Representative examples of
microorganisms include yeast strains, for example, those belonging to Saccharomyces sp.
such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, romyces carlsbergensis, Saccharomyces
uvarum, Saccharomyces ellipsoideus, Saccharomyces bayanus. Besides these, those
belonging to Bacillus sp., Lactobacillus sp., and Candida sp. may be used. In particular,
yeasts are desirable in that they can be easily separated and removed from the liquid
medium afier the tation is terminated, and the removed yeast may be sold as by-
product goods such as animal feed.
In the present invention, it is desirable that microorganisms that are used for the
fermentation for removing glucose contained in low purity gentiooligosaccharides are
added at a concentration of about 10% (v/v) relative to the amount of the culture medium.
Adding microorganisms in amounts exceeding the above amount is problematic in that
efficiency is d due to over fermentation, whereas using microorganisms in
amounts less than the above amount have problems in that the tion time is
prolonged.
In the present invention, fermentation may be carried out under ions of a
temperature ranging from 25 °C to 35 °C, an aeration ranging fiom 0.5 to 2 v/v/m (air
volume/working volume/minute) and a stirring rate of 200 rpm to 500 rpm for 24 hours
to 72 hours.
As described above, if a culture medium containing low purity
oligosaccharides is subjected to inoculation with rganisms, incubation and
tation, glucose that is ned in the low purity gentiooligosaccharides are
consumed by microorganisms and removed, thereby making it possible to obtain high
purity gentiooligosaccharides.
After the fermentation is terminated, the microorganisms that are used in the
fermentation may be removed from the fermentation broth e.g., by using centrifugation or
ion, and then the obtained broth may be subjected to a purification process
including decolorization using active carbon and demineralization using ion exchange
resins and evaporated under reduced pressure, thereby making it possible to obtain high
purity oligosaccharides having a purity of at least 90%.
The high purity gentiooligosaccharides having a purity of at least 90% obtained
according to the methods of the present invention have ride compositions as shown
in Table 1 below (based on the total weight of the residual saccharides).
<Table 1>
As such, according to the methods for preparing high purity
gentiooligosaccharides by fermentation of the present invention, the glucose content in
gentiooligosaccharides may be reduced to 0.5% by weight and gentiooligosaccharides
having a purity of at least 90% may be easily obtained without the production of
unnecessary by—products.
In addition, during the preparation of high purity gentiooligosaccharides by
fermentation according to the present invention, glucose is metabolized by
microorganisms, such as yeast and yeast meal, to produce ethanol. Among the
ucts of such tation process, yeast meal may be used as animal feed, while
ethanol is expected to be in the spotlight as bio-ethanol, a new future fuel.
Further, high purity gentiooligosaccharides having a purity of at least 90%
obtained according to the t invention can solve problems associated with
conventional oligosaccharides, where their use was limited due to the lties in
molding or shaping of the products that are caused by the physical properties of glucose
and the detrimental effects of the high glucose content thereof on sweetness. Also, they
may improve the flavor and taste of s foods, such as chocolate, cocoa, beer, tea,
coffee and red ginseng by the addition of small amounts. Further, they can be beneficially
used as alternatives to foods such as cocoa, , chocolate, tea, bread or confectionery
products, and their main ingredients.
For example, in preparing bread products of cocoa, chocolate, green tea or the
like, substituting high purity gentiooligosaccharides having a purity of at least 90%
obtained according to the present invention for 0.1 to 40% by weight of the main
ingredients of the bread ts, i.e., cocoa (e.g., Sugarless 100% Cocoa Powder
(Valrhona), HERSHEY'S COCOA (HERSHEY), etc..), dark chocolate (e.g., Real Choco
Chip Dark (Belcolade), Le Noir 68% Baking Bar (Valrhona), etc.. ), or green tea powder,
etc. may exhibit a ness and taste similar to those of conventional products to which
no gentiooligosaccharide is added.
In addition, in the case of brownies using cocoa and dark chocolate, tuting
high purity gentiooligosaccharides having a purity of at least 90% obtained according to
the present invention for 0.1 to 40% by weight of dark chocolate and 0.1 to 40% by
weight of cocoa, which are the main ingredients of brownies may also exhibit a bitterness
and taste similar to those of conventional products to which no gentiooligosaccharide is
added.
For red ginseng beverages, the proportion of high purity gentiooligosaccharides to
be used varies ing on the tration of the red g concentrate to be added
therein. In the case of red ginseng beverages that contain 1.5 to 2% by weight of red
ginseng concentrate, substituting high purity gentiooligosaccharides having a purity of at
least 90% for 0.1 to 40% by weight of red ginseng concentrate can exhibit a bitterness
similar to that of the conventional beverage; whereas in the case of red ginseng beverages
that contain 0.4 to 0.5% by weight of red ginseng concentrate,
tuting high purity gentiooligosaccharides having a purity of at least 90% for 0.1 to
% by weight of red ginseng concentrate can exhibit a bitterness and taste similar to
those of the conventional beverages to which no oligosaccharide is added. In
addition, when high purity gentiooligosaccharides having a purity of at least 90% are
used instead of red ginseng concentrates as described above, high purity
gentiooligosaccharides may be added by one— to ten-fold the amount of red ginseng
trate to be substituted.
For coffee beverages, although the substituted amounts vary depending on the
characteristics of the coffee beans, such as the place of origin for the coffee plant, high
purity gentiooligosaccharides of the present invention may be substituted for 0.1 to 10%
by weight ofthe coffee beans.
The present invention is further described and illustrated according to the
examples provided below. r, it should be noted that the following examples are
presented only for illustrative purposes and are not intended to limit the scope of the
present invention.

30 mL of YM broth (Difco) was ated with 0.5 mL of the Saccharomyces
cerevisiae Y1135 strain, followed by incubation at 30 °C for 24 hours while stirring at
180 rpm.
(2) Incubation
The crude gentiooligosaccharide (purity 45%) was added to 50 mL of medium
containing 0.3% (w/v) of yeast extract (Difco), 0.3% (w/v) of malt extract (Difco), 0.5%
(w/v) of peptone (Difco), and water at the solid concentrations of 5% (w/v) and 10%
(w/v), tively, based on the volume of the medium, and was inoculated with 1 mL of
the Saccharomyces cerevisiae Y1135 seed culture obtained in step (1), and ed by
incubation for 48 hours under conditions of a culture temperature of 300C, aeration of 1.0
v/v/m and stirring rate of 300 rpm in an incubator.
The culture broth was analyzed using high performance liquid tography
(HPLC) (Waters, HPX-42A column) and BIO-LC (DIONEX, ICS-SOOO Bio-LC
Chromatography System, PA detector, PA—l column). As a result, in the case of
performing incubation with the addition of crude gentiooligosaccharide (purity 45%) at
the solid concentration of 5% (w/v) based on the volume of the liquid medium,
gentiooligosaccharides having a oligosaccharide content of 92.8% by weight based
on the residual saccharides were obtained after fermentation, while in the case of
performing incubation with the addition of crude gentiooligosaccharide y 45%) at
the solid concentration of 10% (w/v), gentiooligosaccharides having a
gentiooligosaccharide t of 92.0% by weight based on the residual saccharides were
obtained after fermentation.

(w/v) of peptone (Difco), 1 mL of anti-foaming agent (Dow Corning, LS-300), and water
at the solid concentrations of 30% (w/v), 40% (w/v) and 50% (w/v), respectively, based
on the volume of the medium, and was inoculated with 300 mL of the Saccharomyces
cerevisiae Y1135 seed culture obtained in step (1), followed by incubation for 48 hours
under conditions of a culture temperature of 300C, aeration of 1.0 v/v/m and stirring rate
of 300 rpm in a 5 L incubator. The gentiooligosaccharide containing culture broth
obtained after incubation comprises, besides gentiooligosaccharides and glucose, glycerol
and monosaccharide ingredients (e.g., glucose, fructose, etc.) resulting from the
liquefaction and glycosylation of starch. The culture broth was subject to filtration to
remove the microorganisms, followed by rization with activated carbon and
demineralization with ion ge , and subsequently trated to obtain
gentiooligosaccharide powder by using a spray dryer. The contents of the ingredients in
the powder (based on the total weight of residual saccharides) were analyzed by a similar
manner as in Example 1. The results are shown in Table 2 below.

cocoa powder, showed no statistical significant differences for bitterness and sofiness,
while exhibiting a tically significant higher preference, when compared to the
brownies of the Control Group.
That is to say, it can be confirmed from the results of mental Groups 1 and
2 that substituting high purity gentiooligosaccharides having the purity of 90% or higher
of the present invention for not more than 40% by weight of the main ingredients of
brownies, i.e., cocoa powder and dark chocolate, showed no sensory differences, while
ting ed overall taste and preference, in comparison to the conventional
brownies that contain no gentiooligosaccharide.
