The nondigestible disaccharide epilactose increases paracellular Ca absorption via rho-associated kinase- and myosin light chain kinase-dependent mechanisms in rat small intestines.

J. Agric. Food Chem. 58(3) , 1927-32, (2010)

We previously showed that epilactose, a nondigestible disaccharide, increased calcium (Ca) absorption in the small intestines of rats. Here, we explored the mechanism(s) underlying the epilactose-medi...

Recent advances on physiological functions and biotechnological production of epilactose.

Appl. Microbiol. Biotechnol. 97(5) , 1821-7, (2013)

Epilactose (4-O-β-D-galactopyranosyl-D-mannose), an epimer of lactose, is a rare disaccharide existing extremely small quantities in heat-treated milk, in which epilactose is produced by non-enzymatic...

Biochemical characterization of a thermophilic cellobiose 2-epimerase from a thermohalophilic bacterium, Rhodothermus marinus JCM9785.

Biosci. Biotechnol. Biochem. 75 , 2162-2168, (2011)

Cellobiose 2-epimerase (CE) reversibly converts glucose residue to mannose residue at the reducing end of β-1,4-linked oligosaccharides. It efficiently produces epilactose carrying prebiotic propertie...
