Selective enzymatic α-1,6- monoglucosylation of mogroside IIIE for the bio-creation of α-siamenoside I, a potential high-intensity sweetener.
2021
Abstract A new compound, α-siamenoside I (α-SI), with a glucose unit selectively bound to the 6-hydroxyl group of the 24-O-β-glucosyl moiety of mogroside IIIE by α-1,6-glucosidic bond, was bio-created by two screened cyclodextrin glycosyltransferases with a maximum yield of 59.3%. Compared to mogroside IIIE, α-SI showed a significantly increased sweetness intensity (508 times sweeter than 5% sucrose), which is superior to siamenoside I (SI), the sweetest triterpenoid saponin isolated from Siraitia grosvenorii to date. Sensory evaluation showed that the taste quality of α-SI also was obviously better than mogroside IIIE. In addition to α-SI possessing a good stability similar to that of SI, it also did not cause a significant decrease in cell viability at a concentration of 200 μg/mL and had a negative influence on islets function at 1 μM. All of these preliminarily results pave the way for promoting α-SI as a potential low-calorie sweetener.
