Glucosyltransferase biocatalytic glycosylation: CJ CheilJedangRecent Research Landscape

Engineering specific glycosyltransferase enzymes to control the site-specific glycosylation of steviol glycosides. This enables the high-yield enzymatic synthesis of rare, high-value sweeteners like Rebaudioside D and M.

What technical problems is CJ CheilJedang addressing in Glucosyltransferase biocatalytic glycosylation?

Low rare sugar yield

(13)evidences

The keywords focus on enzymes with low side reactivity and specific compositions for producing psicose and tagatose. This indicates the primary bottleneck is the inefficient conversion and low purity of rare sugars during biocatalytic processes.

Low steviol glycoside solubility

(12)evidences

Natural steviol glycosides like Rebaudioside A suffer from poor solubility and a lingering bitter aftertaste. Glucosylation is used to overcome these physical limitations to improve sweetness profiles and commercial utility.
