| synthesis | erythritol-receptor products formed via AMase-catalyzed reactions, particularly maltotriosyl-erythritol (EG3), are promising prebiotic ingredients, with the prebiotic activity of erythritol derivatives being influenced by the length of the carbohydrate chain. Fermentation of EG3 results in the highest levels of lactic acid and total short-chain fatty acids, which may contribute to reduced pH levels | Thermus sp. |

| additional information | scale-up preparation and purification of synthesized maltotriosyl-erythritol (EG3) derivatives, overview. The main transfer product of 1-O- and 4-O-forms may be a mixture of equal amounts, EG3 ought to be connected to erythritol through three alpha-configurations as a result of the particular transglycosylation activity of alpha-AMase. Generally, it seems that the type of alpha- or beta-glycosidic linkage that formed between the acceptor and donor is based on the enzyme that is used in the transglycosylation reaction | Thermus sp. | ? | - |

| starch + erythritol | maltotriosyl-erythritol (EG3) is synthesized via transglycosylation by recombinant amylomaltase (AMase), tapioca starch serves as the glucosyl donor, and erythritol as the acceptor. HPLC analysis reveals an EG3 yield of 14.0% with a concentration of 2.8 mg/ml. Mass spectrometry confirms the molecular weight of EG3 as 608 Da, and its structure is verified by 1H and 13C NMR analysis.
