Abstract
How to improve the solubility of linear dextrins (LD) and retain their characteristic helix amphiphilic cavities with flexible embedding capability, is a question worth exploring without adding new chemical groups. The strategy presented in this study is to attach a highly flexible (α-1 → 6) glucochain at the reducing end of LD by preparing a new type of dextrin, referred to as single-arm linear dextrin (SLD). In the actual synthesis, an (α-1 → 6) linked oligosaccharide of DP¯ 10.7 (PDI = 1.28) was formed by extension of glucose units onto sucrose (2 M) by using L940W mutant of the glucansucrase GTF180-ΔN firstly. Next using γ-CD as glucosylation donor γ-CGTase extended this (α-1 → 6) glucochain with (α-1 → 4) bonds. SLD is a chimeric glucosaccharide comprising an (α-1 → 4) linked part (DP¯ 10.5) attached to the nonreducing end of an (α-1 → 6) glucochain as verified by enzyme fingerprinting and 1H NMR. Furthermore, SLD was validated to show greatly improved solubility and dispersibility of resveratrol in water, as indicated by a 3.12-fold enhancement over the solubility in the presence of 0.014 M SLD. This study provided a new strategy for solving the solubility problem of LD and opens possibilities for new design of the fine structure of starch-like materials.

Abstract
Glucose-based short-chain oligosaccharides (gluco-oligosaccharides, GlcOS) have been established as functional food ingredients with health-promoting properties. Currently, GlcOS (e.g., isomalto-oligosaccharides, IMOs) are commercially produced via enzymatic processes, which face the challenges of low yield and high cost. Therefore, developing efficient technologies for large-scale production of prebiotic GlcOS is highly desirable. Herein, a facile chemical process was developed to synthesize GlcOS as potential prebiotics via enhanced dehydration condensation of glucose in concentrated sulfuric acid (60-92 %). The maximum GlcOS yield of 83 % was achieved under the optimal condition of 50 % initial glucose loading, 76 % H2SO4, 70 °C, and 20 min. Structural analysis revealed that the synthesized GlcOS are mainly short-chain oligomers with a degree of polymerization (DP) between 2 and 4 (46 % DP 2, 22 % DP 3, 12 % DP 4) and a small percentage of larger oligosaccharides (DP 5-9), which are linked by predominantly α- and β-(1→6) linkages along with (1→4), (1→ 3), (1→2), and (1↔1) linkages. In vitro fermentation experiments by probiotic Bifidobacterium bifidum ATCC 29521, Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis DSM 10140, and Limosilactobacillus reuteri ATCC 6475 indicated that the GlcOS can be utilized as a carbon source for bacterial growth, and their promotion effect was overall comparable to three commercial prebiotic IMOs. GlcOS were also successfully synthesized from maltose and cellobiose with similar yield and structures to those from glucose, implying the possibility of synthesizing the prebiotic GlcOS directly from inexpensive starch and cellulose.

Abstract
A standard level of sugar addition to bread is 2% (flour base) but sweet baked goods including hamburger buns, hot dog buns and some sandwich bread contain more than 10% sucrose. This study aimed to provide an integrated assessment of different strategies for sugar-reduced bread by using isomaltooligosaccharides (IMO) as bulk sweetening agent, polysaccharide hydrolases to generate sugars from flour polysaccharides, and sourdough. Trained panel sensory analyses of the intensity of sour and sweet tastes were compared to the concentration of organic acids and the sugar concentration of bread. Sourdough fermentation reduced the sweet taste intensity of bread produced with 9% sucrose. This effect was more pronounced with Leuconostoc mesenteroides, which converts fructose to mannitol with concomitant production of acetate. Addition of up to 20% sourdough fermented with Weissella cibaria 10 M, which does not produce mannitol and less acetate when compared to L. mesenteroides, did not substantially reduce the sweet taste intensity. Bread produced with 9% IMO tasted less sweet than bread prepared with 9% sucrose but partial replacement of sucrose with IMO maintained the sweet taste intensity. Addition of 4.5% IMO in combination with W. cibaria sourdough, amyloglucosidase and the fructosidase FruA enabled production of bread with 50% reduced sucrose addition while maintaining the sweet taste intensity. In conclusion, the single use of a sweet bulking agent, of amyloglucosidase or fructanases or the use of sourdough alone, did not maintain the sweet taste intensity of sugar-reduced bread, however, a combination of the three approaches allowed a reduction of sucrose addition without reducing the sweet taste intensity.

Abstract
Isomalto-oligosaccharides (IMOs) may promote health by modulating intestinal microbiota. We hypothesized that the proportion of α-(1 → 6) linkages in IMOs determines their digestibility. Ileal-cannulated pigs were fed diets containing IMO, IMO-DP3 with a greater DP and more α-(1 → 4) linkages, and digestible or resistant maltodextrins. Oligosaccharides were analysed by high-performance anion-exchange chromatography. Compared to IMO, IMO-DP3 contained more panose (18.6 vs. 10.3%) but less isomaltose (7.5 vs. 22.3%) and isomaltotriose (6.1 vs. 12.6%). The apparent ileal digestibility of dry matter were 3% greater for IMO-DP3 and digestible maltodextrin than resistant maltodextrin; the digestibility of IMO was not different from other oligosaccharides. Ileal propionate, isovalerate, and total SCFA was greater for IMO-DP3 and digestible maltodextrin than IMO. In conclusion, IMO was less digestible than IMO-DP3. Structural properties of IMOs are important determinants of their functional properties within the porcine digestive tract.

Abstract
The formation of HoPS and oligosaccharides in sourdough fermentation improves bread quality but is dependent on the expression of glycansucrases by lactic acid bacteria. Data on the expression of dextransucrases by Weissella spp., however, are limited. This study therefore aimed to assess dextansucrase expression in W. cibaria 10 M, focusing on the effect of temperature. The effect of temperature on growth, oligosaccharide and dextran synthesis by W. cibaria 10 M was determined and the expression and activity of cell-associated dextransucrase from W. cibaria 10 M were investigated. The oligosaccharides profiles were measured by thin layer chromatography and high performance anion exchange chromatography coupled to pulsed amperometric detection. Dextran formation was quantified by size exclusion chromatography. W. cibaria grew fastest at 30 °C but oligosaccharide formation was highest at 20 °C or less. Dextransucrase expression as measured by reverse transcription quantitative PCR, SDS-PAGE, and activity of cell-associated dextransucrase were maximal at 15 °C. Cold shift incubation, characterized by incubation at 30 °C to obtain biomass, followed by shift to 6 °C to induce dextransucrase expression, supported high dextransucrase activity in laboratory media. Cold shift fermentation of wheat and sorghum sourdoughs supplemented with 15 or 30% sucrose increased the yields of oligosaccharides, and resulted in formation of 16 and 12 g/kg dextran in wheat and sorghum sourdoughs, respectively. Dextran formation was decreased in favour of oligosaccharide formation when doughs were supplemented with maltose. In conclusion, cold shift fermentation of sourdough with W. cibaria supports high dextran yields or formation of oligosaccharides without excess acidification.

Abstract
The coarse perlite 40-80 mesh was selected as an immobilizing material and put into a packed bed reactor (PBR) to continuously convert maltose to isomalto-oligosaccharides (IMOs). The PBR was prepared by mixing the thermo-inactivated cells (TIC) from Aspergillus niger J2 strain with the coarse perlite, then the mixture was put into an overpressure-resistant column. Compared with diatomite 40-80 mesh and thin perlite 80-120 mesh in PBR, coarse perlite was chosen as the best filtration aid, when the ratio of coarse perlite versus TIC was 1:1. The thermal and pH stability of the free and immobilized TIC and the optimum conditions for the transglycosylation reactions were determined. The results show that approximately 75 and 82% and 87 and 91% of α-glucosidase activity were reserved for free and immobilized TIC at temperatures from 30 to 60 °C and pH from 3.00 to 7.00 for 12 h, respectively. With 30% malt syrup under the conditions of 50 °C and pH 4.00, a mini-scale packed bed reactor (Mi-PBR) and medium-scale packed bed reactor (Me-PBR) could continuously produce IMO over 25 and 34 days with the yield of effective IMO (eIMO) ≥ 35% and total IMO (tIMO) ≥ 50%, respectively. The strategy of mixing the coarse perlite with TIC in PBR is a novel approach to continuously produce IMO and has great application potential in industry.

Abstract
PURPOSE Cranberries are a rich source of polyphenolic antioxidants. Purified sugars or artificial sweeteners are being added to cranberry-based food products to mask tartness. Refined sugar and artificial sweeteners intake modulate gut microbiota and result in metabolic complications. We evaluated effects of isomalto-oligosaccharides (IMOs; sweet tasting non-digestible oligosaccharides) with cranberry extract (CRX) on high fat diet (HFD)-induced metabolic alterations in mice. METHODS Male Swiss albino mice were fed normal chow or HFD (58% fat kcal), and were administered either CRX (200 mg/kg) alone or in combination with IMOs (1 g/kg). Cecal short-chain fatty acids, abundances of selected (1) butyrate producing, (2) metabolically beneficial, and (3) selective lipopolysaccharides producing gram negative gut bacteria were studied. Further, gut-related histological, biochemical, genomic changes along with circulating pro-/anti-inflammatory markers and systemic obesity-associated metabolic changes were studied. RESULTS Co-supplementation of CRX and IMOs significantly improved cecal SCFAs, especially butyrate levels, selected butyrate-producing bacteria (clostridial cluster XIVa bacteria) and butyrate kinase expression in HFD-fed mice. The combination also significantly improved gut beneficial bacterial abundance, gut histology and related changes (colon mucin production, gut permeability) as compared to individual agents. It also prevented HFD-induced systemic and tissue inflammation, glucose intolerance and systemic obesity-associated metabolic changes in adipose tissue and liver. The combination of CRX and IMOs appeared more effective in the prevention of HFD-induced gut derangements. CONCLUSION Combination of CRX and IMOs could be advantageous for normalization of metabolic alterations seen in diet-induced obesity via beneficial modulation of gastrointestinal health.

Abstract
Isomalto-oligosaccharide (IMO) syrup was prepared from organic rice, in which Lactobacillus plantarum as a starter was inoculated to raise its purity and also produce a fermented rice beverage. Of the five strains of lactic acid bacteria tested, L. plantarum was preferentially selected in terms of a viable cells (7.3 × 108 colony forming unit (CFU/mL) and higher dry cell weight (13 mg/mL). The fermented syrup-based medium did not affect the growth of L. plantarum. As expected, the residual sugar content gradually decreased by 1.34% compared with the initial concentration. It was apparent that the residual sugars but not oligosaccharides were removed during the L. plantarum fermentation period. The production of lactic acid was the highest (8125.78 mg/kg) among the organic acids produced in the fermented IMO syrup.
