<結晶化度及び動的水分吸着量>
本発明のアスコルビン酸2-グルコシド無水結晶含有粉末は、上述したとおり、無水物換算でアスコルビン酸2-グルコシドを98.0%超、99.9%未満含有し、粉末X線回折プロフィルに基づき算出されるアスコルビン酸2-グルコシド無水結晶についての結晶化度が90%以上であるか、又は、動的水分吸着量が0.01%以下であるアスコルビン酸2-グルコシド無水結晶含有粉末である。以下の実験によって示すとおり、結晶化度又は動的水分吸着量が上記レベルにある本発明のアスコルビン酸2-グルコシド無水結晶含有粉末は、アスコルビン酸2-グルコシドの純度、すなわち、無水物換算でのアスコルビン酸2-グルコシドの含量が、医薬部外品級の粉末とほぼ同じレベルか、試薬級の粉末におけるアスコルビン酸2-グルコシドの純度に満たないにもかかわらず、医薬部外品級の粉末に比べて有意に固結し難い。
本発明のアスコルビン酸2-グルコシド無水結晶含有粉末は、その好適な一態様において、粒径150μm未満の粒子を粉末全体の70%以上、かつ、粒径53μm以上150μm未満の粒子を粉末全体の40乃至60%含有する。本発明のアスコルビン酸2-グルコシド無水結晶含有粉末は、例えば、食品素材などに求められる上記の粒度分布に容易に調整することができるので、食品素材、化粧品素材、医薬部外品素材、又は医薬品素材として、製造工程や原料規格を変えることなく、従前どおりに使用できるという利点を有している。
本発明のアスコルビン酸2-グルコシド無水結晶含有粉末は、その好適な一態様において、L-アスコルビン酸及び/又はD-グルコースを含み、かつ、粉末全体の還元力が1%未満である。良く知られているとおり、L-アスコルビン酸やD-グルコースは直接還元性を有し、アミノ酸や蛋白質などの分子内にアミノ基を有する化合物の共存下で加熱すると褐色の着色を引き起こすので、これらの物質が製品としてのアスコルビン酸2-グルコシド無水結晶含有粉末に含まれることは好ましくない。しかし、例えば、L-アスコルビン酸と澱粉質とを含有する溶液にCGTaseなどの酵素を作用させる工程を経てアスコルビン酸2-グルコシド無水結晶含有粉末を製造する場合には、量の多寡はともかく、未反応のL-アスコルビン酸や、原料である澱粉質に由来するD-グルコースなどが、反応夾雑物として製品であるアスコルビン酸2-グルコシド無水結晶含有粉末に混入することは避けられない。例えば、従来の医薬部外品級の粉末においては、含まれるL-アスコルビン酸とD-グルコースの量が、無水物換算した両者の合計で約1%にも達することがあり、食品素材などとして用いた場合に予期せぬ褐色の着色を引き起こすことがあった。
本発明のアスコルビン酸2-グルコシド無水結晶含有粉末は、無水物換算でアスコルビン酸2-グルコシドを98.0%超、99.9%未満含有するアスコルビン酸2-グルコシド無水結晶含有粉末であって、粉末中のアスコルビン酸2-グルコシド無水結晶についての結晶化度が90%以上であるか、又は、動的水分吸着量が0.01%以下である限り、如何なる方法によって製造されたものであっても良く、特定の製造方法によって製造されたものに限定されるものではない。
(1)L-アスコルビン酸と澱粉質とを含む溶液にCGTaseとグルコアミラーゼをこの順で作用させて、アスコルビン酸2-グルコシドの生成率が35%以上であるアスコルビン酸2-グルコシド含有溶液を得る工程;
(2)得られたアスコルビン酸2-グルコシド含有溶液を精製して、アスコルビン酸2-グルコシド含量を無水物換算で86%超とする工程;
(3)アスコルビン酸2-グルコシドを無水物換算で86%超含有する溶液からアスコルビン酸2-グルコシドの無水結晶を析出させる工程;
(4)析出したアスコルビン酸2-グルコシドの無水結晶を採取する工程;
(5)採取されたアスコルビン酸2-グルコシドの無水結晶を熟成、乾燥し、必要に応じて粉砕する工程。
以下、各工程について説明する。
(1)の工程は、L-アスコルビン酸と澱粉質とから酵素反応によってアスコルビン酸2-グルコシドを生成させる工程である。まず、使用する原料及び酵素について説明し、次に行われる酵素反応について説明する。
(L-アスコルビン酸)
用いるL-アスコルビン酸としては、ヒドロキシ酸の形態のものであっても、アルカリ金属塩、アルカリ土類金属塩などの金属塩の形態のものであっても、さらには、それらの混合物であっても差し支えない。
また、用いる澱粉質としては、馬鈴薯澱粉、甘藷澱粉、タピオカ澱粉、コーンスターチ、小麦澱粉などが挙げられる。澱粉質としては、分子内に実質的な枝分かれ構造を有せず、かつ、グルコース重合度が揃ったものが好ましく、例えば、シクロマルトデキストリン、シクロアミロース、合成アミロースなどは、グルコース重合度が、いずれも6乃至100の範囲にあり、直鎖構造又は直鎖の環状構造を有しているので好ましい。また、澱粉質として、通常一般の液化澱粉や、デキストリンなどの澱粉部分分解物を用いる場合には、CGTaseとともに、例えば、イソアミラーゼ(EC 3.2.1.68)、プルラナーゼ(EC 3.3.1.41)などの澱粉枝切り酵素を併用して、澱粉の枝分かれ部分を切断し、そのグルコース重合度を調整するのが好ましい。なお、澱粉枝切り酵素としては、イソアミラーゼが、酵素活性及び基質特異性などの面で取り扱い易いので特に好ましい。
用いるCGTase(EC2.4.1.19)としては、上述したとおり、L-アスコルビン酸と澱粉質とを含有する溶液にCGTaseとグルコアミラーゼとをこの順で作用させたときに、アスコルビン酸2-グルコシドを生成率35%以上の高率で生成させることができる限り、その起源や由来に特段の制限はなく、天然の酵素であっても、遺伝子組換えによって得られる酵素であっても良い。天然の酵素としては、例えば、ジオバチルス・ステアロサーモフィルス(Geobacillus stearothermophilus)Tc-62株由来のCGTase、及びジオバチルス・ステアロサーモフィルスTc-27株由来のCGTaseが、アスコルビン酸2-グルコシドについて高い生成率が得られるので好ましく、中でも、ジオバチルス・ステアロサーモフィルスTc-62株が産生するCGTaseがアスコルビン酸2-グルコシドの生成率の観点からは最も好ましい。
用いるグルコアミラーゼ(EC3.2.1.3)にも特に制限はなく、L-アスコルビン酸と澱粉質とを含有する溶液に、CGTaseとグルコアミラーゼとをこの順に作用させたときに、アスコルビン酸2-グルコシドを生成率35%以上の高率で生成させることができる限り、その起源や由来に特段の制限はなく、天然の酵素であっても、遺伝子組換えによって得られる酵素であっても良い。
次に、L-アスコルビン酸への糖転移反応について説明する。まず、L-アスコルビン酸と澱粉質とを含有する溶液、通常は水溶液にCGTaseを作用させる。L-アスコルビン酸と澱粉質とを含む水溶液にCGTaseを作用させると、CGTaseの酵素作用によって、L-アスコルビン酸の2位の水酸基に1個又は2個以上のD-グルコースが転移し、前記2位の水酸基に1個のD-グルコースが結合したアスコルビン酸2-グルコシドが生成するとともに、前記2位の水酸基に2個以上のD-グルコースが結合した2-O-α-マルトシル-L-アスコルビン酸、2-O-α-マルトトリオシル-L-アスコルビン酸、2-O-α-マルトテトラオシル-L-アスコルビン酸などのα-グリコシル-L-アスコルビン酸が生成する。
(2)の工程は、上記(1)の工程で得られたアスコルビン酸2-グルコシド含有溶液を精製して、アスコルビン酸2-グルコシド含量を無水物換算で86%超とする工程である。すなわち、(1)の工程で得られたアスコルビン酸2-グルコシド含有溶液を、活性炭などにより脱色濾過し、濾液をカチオン交換樹脂により脱塩し、さらに、カラムクロマトグラフィーを適用することにより、溶液中のアスコルビン酸2-グルコシド含量を無水物換算で86%超、好ましくは88%以上にまで精製する。精製に用いるカラムクロマトグラフィーとしては、溶液中のアスコルビン酸2-グルコシド含量を無水物換算で86%超にまで高めることができる限り、原則的にどのようなカラムクロマトグラフィーを用いても良いが、好適な例としては、D-グルコースなどの糖類を除去するためのアニオン交換樹脂を用いるカラムクロマトグラフィーに続き、カチオン交換樹脂又は多孔性樹脂を用いるカラムクロマトグラフィーを行うのがよい。D-グルコースなどの糖類を除去するための望ましいアニオン交換樹脂としては、『アンバーライトIRA411S』、『アンバーライトIRA478RF』(以上、ローム・アンド・ハース社製)、『ダイヤイオンWA30』(三菱化学社製)等が挙げられる。アスコルビン酸2-グルコシドとL-アスコルビン酸とを分離するための望ましいカチオン交換樹脂としては、『ダウエックス 50WX8』(ダウケミカル社製)、『アンバーライト CG120』(ローム・アンド・ハース社製)、『XT-1022E』(東京有機化学工業社製)、『ダイヤイオンSK104』、『ダイヤイオン UBK 550』(以上、三菱化学社製)等が挙げられる。多孔性樹脂としては、『トヨパールHW-40』(東ソー社製)、『セルファインGH-25』(チッソ社製)等を挙げることができる。カチオン交換樹脂又は多孔性樹脂を用いてカラムクロマトグラフィーを行う場合、カラムに負荷する原料液の濃度は固形分約10乃至50%、樹脂への負荷量は湿潤樹脂容積の約1/1000乃至1/20、湿潤樹脂容積とほぼ等量の精製水を線速度0.5乃至5m/時間で通液するのが望ましい。中でも、カチオン交換樹脂を用いるカラムクロマトグラフィーとして擬似移動床式を用いる場合には、精製して得られるアスコルビン酸2-グルコシドの純度が高まり、L-アスコルビン酸やD-グルコースなどの夾雑物、特に、L-アスコルビン酸含量が低減され、L-アスコルビン酸含量が無水物換算で0.1%以下と少ないアスコルビン酸2-グルコシド無水結晶含有粉末が得られるので好ましい。因みに、カチオン交換樹脂を充填剤として用いる擬似移動床式のカラムクロマトグラフィーにおける溶離条件としては、操作温度、設定流速などにもよるが、擬似移動床式のカラムクロマトグラフィーに供されるアスコルビン酸2-グルコシド含有溶液の濃度は無水物換算で60%以下、アスコルビン酸2-グルコシド含有溶液の負荷量は湿潤樹脂容積に対し容積比で1/20以下、溶離液として用いる精製水量は容積比で前記負荷量の30倍まで、通常、5~20倍程度とするのが好ましい。
(3)の工程は、アスコルビン酸2-グルコシドを無水物換算で86%超、好ましくは88%以上含有する溶液からアスコルビン酸2-グルコシドの無水結晶を析出させる工程である。すなわち、(2)の工程で所定の純度及び濃度にまで精製、濃縮され、所定の温度に調整されたアスコルビン酸2-グルコシド含有溶液は、助晶缶に移され、アスコルビン酸2-グルコシド無水結晶の種晶を0.1乃至5%含有せしめ、緩やかに撹拌しつつ、6乃至48時間かけて液温を5乃至20℃まで徐冷することによりアスコルビン酸2-グルコシド無水結晶を析出させる。なお、助晶缶内等に既にアスコルビン酸2-グルコシドの無水結晶の種晶が存在する場合には、アスコルビン酸2-グルコシドの無水結晶の種晶は特段添加する必要はない。いずれにせよ、濃縮液からのアスコルビン酸2-グルコシドの無水結晶の析出は、種晶の存在下で行われれば良い。また、必要に応じて、精製液の濃縮と、濃縮液からのアスコルビン酸2-グルコシドの無水結晶の析出は、それらを同時に行う煎糖方式によって行っても良い。
(4)の工程は、析出したアスコルビン酸2-グルコシドの無水結晶を採取する工程である。すなわち、助晶缶からマスキットを採取し、常法にしたがい、このマスキットからアスコルビン酸2-グルコシド無水結晶を遠心分離によって採取する。
(5)の工程は、採取されたアスコルビン酸2-グルコシドの無水結晶を熟成、乾燥し、必要に応じて粉砕する工程である。すなわち、遠心分離によって採取したアスコルビン酸2-グルコシド無水結晶を少量の脱イオン水や蒸留水などの精製水などで洗浄し、結晶表面に付着した不純物を洗い流す。洗浄に用いる水の量には特段の制限はないが、多すぎると表面の不純物だけでなく結晶自体も溶解するので歩留まりが低下し、加えて、洗浄水のコストも嵩むので、通常は、結晶質量の30%まで、好ましくは15~25%の量の洗浄水を用いて結晶表面を洗浄するのが望ましい。なお、この洗浄は、結晶をバスケット式の遠心分離器に入れ、遠心力下で行うのが望ましい。かくして採取、洗浄された結晶は、所定の温度及び湿度雰囲気中に一定時間保持することにより、熟成、乾燥し、アスコルビン酸2-グルコシド無水結晶についての結晶化度が90%以上であるか、又は、動的水分吸着量が0.01%以下の粉末とする。
アスコルビン酸2-グルコシド無水結晶についての結晶化度が0乃至100%の範囲にある複数のアスコルビン酸2-グルコシド無水結晶含有粉末を調製し、それらの固結性を試験することにより、アスコルビン酸2-グルコシド無水結晶含有粉末における結晶化度と固結性との関連性を調べた。詳細は以下のとおり。
<被験試料1>
実質的にアスコルビン酸2-グルコシド無水結晶からなる標準試料として、試薬級のアスコルビン酸2-グルコシド無水結晶含有粉末(商品名『アスコルビン酸2-グルコシド 999』、コード番号:AG124、純度99.9%以上)を使用し、これを被験試料1とした。
実質的に無定形部分からなる標準試料としては、被験試料1を適量の精製水に溶解し、3日間かけて凍結乾燥した後、40℃以下で1晩真空乾燥して得られた、実質的に無定形部分からなる粉末を使用し、これを被験試料2とした。なお、被験試料2の水分含量をカールフィッシャー法により測定したところ、2.0%であった。
被験試料3、4として、アスコルビン酸2-グルコシド無水結晶についての結晶化度が、被験試料1と被験試料2の間に入るものを以下の手順で調製した。すなわち、被験試料2と同様にして調製した無定形部分からなる粉末を金属製トレイ内に延展し、温度25℃、相対湿度90%に調整された恒温、恒湿のチャンバー内に24時間又は72時間収容することにより結晶化を促し、粉末を部分的に結晶化させた。その後、金属製トレイをチャンバーから取り出し、38℃で一晩真空乾燥することにより2種類の粉末を調製した。恒温、恒湿のチャンバー内の収容時間が24時間のものを被験試料3、72時間のものを被験試料4とした。なお、被験試料3及び4は、分析試験に供する直前まで蓋つきバイアル瓶内に密封し、乾燥剤とともにデシケーター内に密封保存した。
<アスコルビン酸2-グルコシド純度>
被験試料1乃至4のアスコルビン酸2-グルコシド純度を以下のようにして求めた。すなわち、被験試料1乃至4のいずれかを精製水により2%溶液とし、0.45μmメンブランフィルターにより濾過した後、下記条件による液体クロマトグラフィー(HPLC)分析に供し、示差屈折計によるクロマトグラムに出現したピークの面積から計算し、無水物換算した。結果は表1に示した。

被験試料1乃至4におけるアスコルビン酸2-グルコシド無水結晶についての結晶化度を以下のようにして求めた。すなわち、市販の反射光方式による粉末X線回折装置(スペクトリス株式会社製、商品名『X’Pert PRO MPD』)を用い、Cu対陰極から放射される特性X線であるCuKα線(X線管電流40mA、X線管電圧45kV、波長1.5405オングストローム)による粉末X線回折プロフィルに基づき、同粉末X線回折装置に搭載された専用の解析コンピューターソフトウェアを用い、被験試料1乃至4の各々についてハーマンス法による結晶化度の解析値を求めた。ハーマンス法による結晶化度の解析に先立ち、各粉末X線回折パターンにおけるピーク同士の重なり、回折強度、散乱強度などを勘案しながら、最適と判断されるベースラインが得られるように、ソフトウェアに設定された粒状度及びベンディングファクターをそれぞれ適切なレベルに合わせた。なお、ハーマンス法については、ピー・エイチ・ハーマンス(P.H.Harmans)とエー・ワイジンガー(A.

本実験では、被験試料1及び2がそれぞれ、解析値H100及びH0を決定するための標準試料として適切なものであることをさらに裏付ける目的で、これら被験試料をシンクロトロン放射光(以下、「放射光」と言う。)をX線源に用い、微弱な回折や散乱のシグナルを検出することができる透過光方式の粉末X線回折に供した。なお、測定条件は次のとおりであった。

被験試料1乃至4の各々について、その固結性を調べる目的で、以下の実験を行った。すなわち、実験1-1で調製した被験試料1乃至4を1gずつ秤取し、それぞれ別個に内底部が半球状の14ml容蓋つきポリプロピレン製円筒チューブ(ベクトン・ディッキンソン社販売、商品名『ファルコンチューブ2059』、直径1.7cm、高さ10cm)の内部に充填し、チューブを試験管立てに直立させた状態で50℃のインキュベーター(アドバンテック東洋株式会社販売、商品名『CI-410』)の内部に収容し、24時間にわたって静置した後、チューブをインキュベーター外に取り出し、チューブから蓋を外し、チューブを緩慢に転倒させることにより、被験試料を黒色プラスチック製平板上に取り出し、取り出された被験試料の状態を肉眼観察した。
本実験では、実験1の結果に基づき、固結性と結晶化度の関係をさらに詳細に調べるために、アスコルビン酸2-グルコシド無水結晶についての結晶化度が0乃至100%の範囲にあり、アスコルビン酸2-グルコシドの純度が99.1乃至99.9%である7種類のアスコルビン酸2-グルコシド無水結晶含有粉末を用い、実験1におけると同様に固結性について試験した。
実験1-1で調製した被験試料1と被験試料2とをそれぞれ適量とり、均一に混合することにより、表2に示す被験試料5乃至9の粉末を調製した。実験1-2に記載した方法によって求めた被験試料5乃至9のアスコルビン酸2-グルコシド純度と、アスコルビン酸2-グルコシド無水結晶についての結晶化度は表2に示すとおりであった。なお、表2における被験試料1及び2についての結果は表1から転記した。
被験試料5乃至9を実験1-4の固結性試験に供した。結果を表2の「固結性」の欄に示した。なお、表2における被験試料1及び2についての「固結性」は、表1に記載した被験試料1及び2についての固結性試験結果を転記したものである。
アスコルビン酸2-グルコシド無水結晶含有粉末の固結には粉末の吸湿性が有意に関与していると推定されることから、本実験では、被験試料1及び2ならびに被験試料5乃至9につき、吸湿性の多寡を判定する有用な指標の1つであると考えられる動的水分吸着量を測定し、実験2-2で得た固結性についての試験結果と照合することにより、アスコルビン酸2-グルコシド無水結晶含有粉末の固結におよぼす動的水分吸着量の影響について検討した。
実験1-1で調製した被験試料1及び2、並びに実験2-1で調製した被験試料5乃至9を、それぞれ約50mgずつ秤取し、それぞれ別個に、メッシュバケットに入れ、バケットホルダー(SUS製)に設置した状態で水分吸脱着測定
装置(Hiden Isocheme社販売、商品名『IGA SORP』)の内部に静置し、200ml/分の窒素気流下、温度25℃、相対湿度0%で12時間保つことにより被験試料から水分を除去し、直ちに被験試料を秤量した。その後、さらに、窒素気流下、温度25℃、相対湿度35%で12時間保ち、再度秤量した。水分を一旦除去した被験試料の質量と、被験試料を窒素気流下、温度25℃、相対湿度35%で12時間加湿した直後の質量とを上記式[2]に代入し、動的水分吸着量(%)を求めた。被験試料1及び2ならびに被験試料5乃至9につき、本実験で得た動的水分吸着量の結果を表3に示す。併せて、実験2-1で得たアスコルビン酸2-グルコシドの純度、及び実験2-2で得た固結性についての試験結果を表3に示す。
先行する実験により、アスコルビン酸2-グルコシド無水結晶含有粉末においては、アスコルビン酸2-グルコシド無水結晶についての結晶化度と粉末の動的水分吸着量とが、それぞれ、粉末の固結性と密接な関係を有していることが明らかとなった。本実験では、粉末製造時の熟成、乾燥工程後における結晶含有粉末の強制冷却が、アスコルビン酸2-グルコシド無水結晶含有粉末の結晶化度、動的水分吸着量及び固結性に及ぼす影響について調べた。
実験1-1における被験試料2と同様にして調製した粉末を金属製トレイ内に延展し、温度25℃、相対湿度90%になるように調節した恒温、恒湿のチャンバー内に16時間収容することにより結晶化を促し、粉末を部分的に結晶化させた。その後、金属製トレイをチャンバーから取り出し、40℃で8時間乾燥させ、続いて、約2時間自然に放冷して得た粉末を被験試料10、乾燥後に20℃の空気を15分間又は40分間金属製トレイ内の粉末に吹き付けてトレイ内の粉末を強制冷却することにより得た粉末を、それぞれ被験試料11及び被験試料12とした。なお、被験試料10乃至12は、分析試験に供する直前まで蓋つきバイアル瓶内に密封し、乾燥剤とともにデシケーター内に密封保存した。
実験1-2に記載した方法によって、被験試料10乃至12のアスコルビン酸2-グルコシド純度を求め、表4に記載した。被験試料1のアスコルビン酸2-グルコシド純度は表1から転記した。
被験試料10乃至12のアスコルビン酸2-グルコシド無水結晶についての結晶化度及び粉末の動的水分吸着量は、それぞれ実験1及び実験3記載の方法で測定した。結果を表4に示す。なお、表4における被験試料1についての結果は表1及び表3から転記した。
被験試料10乃至12を実験1-4の固結性試験に供した。結果を、表1に記載した被験試料1についての固結性試験の結果とともに、表4における「固結性」の欄に示した。
先行する実験によって、アスコルビン酸2-グルコシド純度が99.1%以上という高純度のアスコルビン酸2-グルコシド無水結晶含有粉末においては、アスコルビン酸2-グルコシド無水結晶についての結晶化度と粉末の動的水分吸着量とが、それぞれ、粉末の固結性と密接な関係を有していることが明らかとなった。本実験では、さらに、アスコルビン酸2-グルコシド無水結晶含有粉末の固結性とアスコルビン酸2-グルコシド純度との関係について検討した。
以下のようにして、L-アスコルビン酸と、澱粉質の一種であるデキストリンとを含有する水溶液から、表5に示すアスコルビン酸2-グルコシド純度が互いに異なる被験試料13乃至18を調製し、実験1-4におけると同様の固結性試験に供した。
実験5-1で得た被験試料13乃至19の固結性を実験1-4におけると同様の方法で試験した。結果を表5に示す。なお、表5に見られる被験試料1及び2についての固結性試験の結果は表1におけるものをそのまま転記したものである。
実験1-4等において行われた固結性試験が、アスコルビン酸2-グルコシド無水結晶含有粉末の実際の保存時における固結性を評価する試験として妥当なものであることを確認すべく、実験1-1の方法で得た被験試料1、実験5-1で得た被験試料13乃至18、及び被験試料19について、アスコルビン酸2-グルコシド無水結晶含有粉末が実際に保存される状態、環境、期間などを想定した保存性試験を行った。
一般的に、結晶含有粉末の一個の粉末粒子は複数の単結晶、すなわち、複数の結晶子により構成されていると考えられており、その粉末の結晶化度が高ければ、個々の粉末粒子の結晶子の大きさ(径)は大きいと推測される。斯かる結晶子径は、粉末X線回折プロフィルに基づき算出される回折ピークの半値(価)幅と回折角を用い、下記式[6]として示す「シェラー(Scherrer)の式」に基づき算出することができるとされており、一般的な粉末X線回折装置には、斯かる結晶子径算出用のコンピューターソフトウェアが搭載されている。そこで、実験1で調製した実質的にアスコルビン酸2-グルコシド無水結晶からなる被験試料1、実験5で調製した本発明のアスコルビン酸2-グルコシド無水結晶含有粉末であって、アスコルビン酸2-グルコシドの純度及びその無水結晶の結晶化度が従来の医薬部外品級の粉末に比較的近い被験試料15、及び、実験5で用いた従来の医薬部外品級の粉末である被験試料19を選択し、下記方法により、これら粉末の一個の粉末粒子に含まれる結晶子径を算出した。
結晶子径算出の基となる粉末X回折プロフィルとして、実験1或いは実験5において、それぞれ、被験試料1、15、19におけるアスコルビン酸2-グルコシド無水結晶についての結晶化度の解析値の決定に用いた粉末X回折プロフィルを用いた。斯かる末X回折プロフィルを解析し、作成した回折パターンから、アスコルビン酸2-グルコシド無水結晶の結晶子径の計算に用いる回折ピークとして、一個の粉末粒子内における結晶子の不均一歪に起因する回折ピーク幅への影響が少ないとされる比較的低角の領域で、かつ、個々に分離可能と考えられた、回折角(2θ)が10.4°、13.2°、18.3°、21.9°及び22.6°の付近の回折ピークを選択した。粉末X線回折装置に付属する解析処理用コンピューターソフトウェア(『エクスパート ハイスコア プラス(X’pert Highscore Plus)』)を用い、各々の被験試料の粉末X線回折プロフィルを処理し、選択した5個の回折ピークの半値幅と回折角(2θ)を求め、標準品として珪素(米国国立標準技術研究所(NIST)供給、X線回折用標準試料(『Si640C』))を用いた場合の測定値に基づき補正した。この補正後の半値幅と回折角(2θ)を用い、同ソフトウェア中の「シェラー(Scherrer)の式」によるプログラムにて、これら被験試料におけるアスコルビン酸2-グルコシド無水結晶の結晶子径を算出した。結果を表6に示す。なお、各被験試料の結晶子径は、選択した5個の回折ピークそれぞれについて算出し、それらの平均値として示した。また、各被験試料のアスコルビン酸2-グルコシドの純度及びその無水結晶についての結晶化度は表5におけるものをそのまま転記したものである。因みに、被験試料15及び19の粉末X線回折パターンは、何れも、アスコルビン酸2-グルコシド無水結晶に特有の明瞭、かつ、シャープな回折ピークが回折角(2θ)4乃至65°の範囲に出現し、回折ピークのパターンは、被験試料1の粉末X線回折パターン(図1)とよく整合していたので、これらの被験試料の粉末X線回折プロフィルから、各々の被験試料に含まれるアスコルビン酸2-グルコシド無水結晶の結晶子径を算出し、比較することは妥当と判断した。
先行する実験で用いた被験試料は、いずれも、L-アスコルビン酸と澱粉質とを含む溶液にCGTaseを作用させる工程を経て得られたアスコルビン酸2-グルコシド含有溶液から調製されるアスコルビン酸2-グルコシド無水結晶含有粉末である。このような製法による場合、得られる粉末には、量の多寡はともかく、製造方法に特有の夾雑物であるL-アスコルビン酸及びD-グルコースが含まれることになる。L-アスコルビン酸やD-グルコースは、いずれも還元性を有しており、含まれる量にもよるが、蛋白質やアミノ酸などのアミノ基を有する化合物を含む製品に使用した場合、製品に不都合な変色をもたらす恐れがある。中でも、L-アスコルビン酸は、酸素との反応性が高く、これを使用した製品に不都合な変色をもたらすだけでなく、従来の医薬部外品級の粉末を長期間保存した場合に往々にして認められた粉末自体の着色の原因ともなると考えられる。
ジオバチルス・ステアロサーモフィルス Tc-62株(独立行政法人産業技術総合研究所 特許生物寄託センター、受託番号FERM BP-11143)を、ニュートリエント・アガー(Difco社販売)のスラント培地を用いて、50℃で2日間培養した。スラント培地より菌体を1白金耳とり、可溶性澱粉2%、塩化アンモニウム0.5%、リン酸水素カリウム0.05%、硫酸マグネシウム0.025%及び炭酸カルシウム0.5%を含むシード用液体培地に植菌し、50℃で3日間振とう培養し、さらに、シード培養して得た培養液を、可溶性澱粉をデキストリンに換えた以外はシード培地と同一組成のメイン培養用液体培地に植菌して、50℃で3日間振とう培養した。この培養液を遠心分離にて除菌し、遠心上清をUF膜にて液量が約18分の1になるまで濃縮し、CGTase粗酵素液とした。

ジオバチルス・ステアロサーモフィルス Tc-62株に換えてジオバチルス・ステアロサーモフィルス Tc-27株(独立行政法人産業技術総合研究所 特許生物寄託センター 受託番号FERM BP-11142)を用いた以外は、実施例1と同様にしてCGTase粗酵素液を調製した。
コーンスターチ5質量部を水15質量部に加え、市販の液化酵素を加え加熱溶解し、L-アスコルビン酸3質量部を加え、pHを5.5に調整し基質溶液とした。これに、上記CGTaseの粗酵素液とイソアミラーゼ(株式会社林原生物化学研究所製造)とを、それぞれコーンスターチの固形分1g当り100単位及び1,000単位加えて55℃で50時間反応させアスコルビン酸2-グルコシド、及びその他のα-グリコシル-L-アスコルビン酸を生成させた。
ジオバチルス・ステアロサーモフィラス(旧分類ではバチルス・ステアロサーモフィラス) Tc-91株起源のCGTaseは、その遺伝子がクローニングされ、遺伝子の塩基配列(配列表における配列番号2で示される塩基配列)から成熟型CGTaseのアミノ酸配列(配列表における配列番号1で示されるアミノ酸配列)が決定されており、当該CGTaseのアミノ酸配列上にはα-アミラーゼファミリーに分類される酵素群に共通して存在するとされる4つの保存領域が存在することが知られている。また、当該CGTase蛋白の立体構造はX線結晶構造解析によって既に明らかにされており、図5に示すように、A、B、C及びDの4つのドメインを有するとされている(『工業用糖質酵素ハンドブック』、講談社サイエンティフィク編集、講談社発行、56乃至63頁(1999年)参照)。さらに、当該CGTaseの3つの触媒残基、すなわち、配列表における配列番号1で示されるアミノ酸配列における225番目のアスパラギン酸(D225)、253番目のグルタミン酸(E253)、324番目のアスパラギン酸(D324)も判明している(『工業用糖質酵素ハンドブック』、講談社サイエンティフィク編集、講談社発行、56乃至63頁(1999年)参照)。当該CGTaseの一次構造の模式図を図6に示す。当該CGTaseの遺伝子DNAに下記の手順で変異を導入し、野生型CGTaseよりもアスコルビン酸2-グルコシドの生成能に優れる変異CGTaseを取得した。
馬鈴薯澱粉5質量部を水15質量部に加え、市販の液化酵素を加え加熱溶解し、L-アスコルビン酸3質量部を加え、pHを5.5に調整し基質溶液とした。これに上記方法で得たCGTase変異体の部分精製標品を馬鈴薯澱粉1g当り20単位加え、65℃で72時間反応させアスコルビン酸2-グルコシド及びα-グリコシル-L-アスコルビン酸を生成させた。反応後、反応液を加熱しCGTase変異体を失活させた。この反応液に、グルコアミラーゼ剤(ナガセケムテックス株式会社販売、商品名『グルコチーム#20000』、20,000単位/g)を馬鈴薯澱粉1g当り100単位加えて、pH5.0、40℃で約18時間反応させることにより反応液中のα-グリコシル-L-アスコルビン酸をアスコルビン酸2-グルコシドにまで、また、混在する糖質をD-グルコースにまで分解した。本反応液におけるアスコルビン酸2-グルコシドの生成率は約40%であった。また、本反応液は、無水物換算で、5-O-α-グルコシル-L-アスコルビン酸と6-O-α-グルコシル-L-アスコルビン酸とを合計で約0.3%含有していた。
CGTaseと共にイソアミラーゼ(株式会社林原製造)を澱粉固形物1g当り500単位加えて55℃で反応させた以外は、実施例3と同様の方法で酵素反応を行った。グルコアミラーゼ処理後の反応液のL-アスコルビン酸2-グルコシド生成率は約45%であった。また、本反応液は、無水物換算で、5-O-α-グルコシル-L-アスコルビン酸と6-O-α-グルコシル-L-アスコルビン酸とを合計で約0.2%含有していた。実施例3と同様に精製し、採取した画分におけるアスコルビン酸2-グルコシド含量は無水物換算で91.8%であった。
馬鈴薯澱粉5質量部を水15質量部に加え、市販の液化酵素を加え加熱溶解し、L-アスコルビン酸3質量部を加え、pHを5.5に調整し基質溶液とした。これに、CGTase(株式会社林原生物化学研究所製造、ジオバチルス・ステアロサーモフィルス Tc-91株(独立行政法人産業技術総合研究所 特許生物寄託センター 受託番号FERM P-2225(国際寄託に移管手続中:受領番号FERM ABP-11273))由来)とイソアミラーゼ(株式会社林原生物化学研究所製造)を、それぞれ馬鈴薯澱粉1g当り100単位及び1,000単位加えて55℃で50時間反応させアスコルビン酸2-グルコシド及びその他のα-グリコシル-L-アスコルビン酸を生成させた。この反応液を加熱し酵素を失活させた後、pHを4.5に調整し、これにグルコアミラーゼ剤(ナガセケムテックス株式会社販売、商品名『グルコチーム#20000』、20,000単位/g)を馬鈴薯澱粉1g当り50単位加え、55℃で24時間反応させ、α-グリコシル-L-アスコルビン酸をアスコルビン酸2-グルコシドにまで、また、混在する糖質をD-グルコースにまで分解した。本反応液におけるアスコルビン酸2-グルコシドの生成率は約38%であった。また、本反応液は、無水物換算で、5-O-α-グルコシル-L-アスコルビン酸と6-O-α-グルコシル-L-アスコルビン酸とを合計で約0.4%含有していた。
