Kojibiose is a disaccharide. It is a product of the caramelization of glucose. [1] It is also present in honey (approx. 3%). [2] Kojibiose has a mild sweet taste, but low calorie count. In combination with its prebiotic properties, kojibiose could function as a sugar substitute. However, kojibiose is hard to synthesize on an industrial scale.

The isolation of kojibiose (4) and nigerose (5), inhibitors of α- d -glucosidase I and α- d -glucosidase II, 13 respectively, opened up new perspectives for the development of novel drugs, especially of the pseudodisaccharide class, for the treatment of HIV infections.

Jul 26, 2017 · It was found to have possible beneficial health effects, including delayed glucose release and potential to trigger SCFA production. Finally, we compared the bulk functionality of highly pure kojibiose to that of sucrose, hereby mapping its potential as a new sweetener in confectionery products.

A rare sugar that has recently gained research interest is kojibiose, a disaccharide of α-1,2-linked glucose units whose properties are still under active evaluation. Interestingly, upon screening several sugars with S. mutans, Hodoniczky et al. (14) suggested that kojibiose is less cariogenic.

Kojibiose, "the healthiest sugar in the world", was discovered by accident. It is by changing an enzyme in such a way to produce kojibiose that Tom Desmet, Professor at the University of Ghent, and Tom Verhaegen, PhD, made that discovery.

This work reports the optimization of a cost-effective and scalable process for the enzymatic synthesis of kojibiose (2-O-α-d-glucopyranosyl-α-d-glucose) from readily available and low-cost substrates such as sucrose and lactose.

May 15, 2018 · Kojibiose is a component of cell wall lipoteichoic acids in Gram-positive bacteria and is of interest as a potential low-calorie sweetener and prebiotic.

Kojibiose, a disaccharide product of glucose caramelization and an inhibitor of plant glucosidase I, may be used to help identify and characterize glucosidase I enzymes involved in terminal deglycosylation of high-mannose oligosaccharides. [1] Kojibiose may be used as a substrate to study the biological species, enzymes and catabolic processes that catabolize it as an energy source. Kojibiose ...

Nov 14, 2015 · Herein we hypothesise the positive effects of kojibiose (KJ), a prebiotic disaccharide, selected for reducing hepatic expression of inflammatory markers in vivo that could modulate the severity of saturated arachidic acid (ARa)-induced liver dysfunction in hyperglycaemic rats.
