Abstract
Halophilic archaea are capable of producing fructans, which are fructose-based polysaccharides. However, their biochemical characterization and biological and technological properties have been scarcely studied. The aim of this study was to evaluate the production, chemical characterization, biological and technological properties of a fructan inulin-type biosynthesized by a halophilic archaeon. Fructan extraction was performed through ethanol precipitation and purification by diafiltration. The chemical structure was elucidated using Fourier Transform-Infrared Spectroscopy and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). Haloarcula sp. M1 biosynthesizes inulin with an average molecular weight of 8.37 × 106 Da. The maximal production reached 3.9 g of inulin per liter of culture within seven days. The glass transition temperature of inulin was measured at 138.85 °C, and it exhibited an emulsifying index of 36.47 %, which is higher than that of inulin derived from chicory. Inulin from Haloarcula sp. M1 (InuH) demonstrates prebiotic capacity. This study represents the first report on the biological and technological properties of inulin derived from halophilic archaea.

HPTLC-based fingerprinting: An alternative approach for fructooligosaccharides metabolism profiling. Curr Res Food Sci 2023; 6:100451. [PMID: 36798949 PMCID: PMC9925861 DOI: 10.1016/j.crfs.2023.100451] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2022] [Revised: 01/09/2023] [Accepted: 01/30/2023] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Fructans are categorized as fructose-based metabolites with no more than one glucose in their structure. Agave species possess a mixture of linear and ramified fructans with different degrees of polymerization. Among them, fructooligosaccharides are fructans with low degree of polymerization which might be approachable by high performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC). Thus, this study used two emblematic Agave species collected at different ages as models to explore the feasibility of HPTLC-based fingerprinting to characterize fructooligosaccharides (FOS) production, accumulation, and behavior through time. To do so, high performance anion exchange was also used as analytical reference to determine the goodness and robustness of HPTLC data. The multivariate data analysis showed separation of samples dictated by species and age effects detected by both techniques. Moreover, linear correlations between the increase of the age in agave and their carbohydrate fraction was established in both species by both techniques. Oligosaccharides found to be correlated to species and age factors, these suggest changes in specific carbohydrate metabolism enzymes. Thus, HPTLC was proven as a complementary or stand-alone fingerprinting platform for fructooligosaccharides characterization in biological mixtures. However, the type of derivatizing reagent and the extraction color channel determined the goodness of the model used to scrutinize agavin fructooligosaccharides (aFOS).
