Abstract

1'-O-Lauroylsucrose and 6'-O-lauroylsucrose were formed through hydrolysis of the C-6″ galactose group of 1'-O-lauroylraffinose and 6'-O-lauroylraffinose, respectively, in the presence of α-galactosidase. The enzymatic hydrolysis of 1'-O-lauroylraffinose and 6'-O-lauroylraffinose is discussed in detail. Acetic acid-sodium acetate was chosen as the buffer solution of the enzymatic hydrolysis reaction. The optimum conditions for the enzymatic hydrolysis reaction were as follows: buffer solution, pH 3.8; enzymatic time, 48 h; and enzymatic temperature, 37 °C. Under the optimal process conditions, the efficiency of α-galactosidase was ca. 82.6%. The isomers were fully compared in solubility, hydrophile-lipophile balance (HLB) values, critical micelle concentration (CMC), and thermal stability. The results showed that all lauroylsucrose isomers have similar solubilities in polar solvent, HLB values, CMC values, and thermal stabilities.
