METHOD FOR THE ENZYMATIC PRODUCTION OF $g(a)-GLUCOSIDES AND ESTERS OF $g(a)-GLUCOSIDES, AND UTILIZATIONS OF PRODUCTS THUS OBTAINED

摘要

The present invention relates to an enzymatic method for producing alpha-glucosides, characterized by contacting at least one alcohol which (s) one (s) group (s) function (s) is (are) one ( of) group (s) hydroxyl, with starch, maltodextrins or maltose in the presence of a purified enzyme preparation having an alpha-transglucosylation activity. The invention also relates to an enzymatic esterification process alpha-glucoside thus obtained.
