Recent research on the physiological functions, applications, and biotechnological production of D-allose

Ziwei Chen et al. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol. 2018 May.

Abstract

D-Allose is a rare monosaccharide, which rarely appears in the natural environment. D-Allose has an 80% sweetness relative to table sugar but is ultra-low calorie and non-toxic and is thus an ideal candidate to take the place of table sugar in food products. It displays unique health benefits and physiological functions in various fields, including food systems, clinical treatment, and the health care fields. However, it is difficult to produce chemically. The biotechnological production of D-allose has become a research hotspot in recent years. Therefore, an overview of recent studies on the physiological functions, applications, and biotechnological production of D-allose is presented. In this review, the physiological functions of D-allose are introduced in detail. In addition, the different types of D-allose-producing enzymes are compared for their enzymatic properties and for the biotechnological production of D-allose. To date, very little information is available on the molecular modification and food-grade expression of D-allose-producing enzymes, representing a very large research space yet to be explored.
