Agarase-3,6-anhydro-L-galactosidase-arabinose isomerase enzyme complex and method for producing tagatose from agar using the same

Method for producing tagatose from agar using an enzyme complex

This technology involves an enzyme complex of arabinose isomerase, agarase, and 3,6-anhydrogalactosidase, and a method for producing tagatose by degrading agar using this complex.

There was a need for a method to efficiently obtain useful bioactive substances, such as tagatose, from agar, a marine biomass.

The enzyme complex of this technology efficiently degrades agar, enabling the efficient production of useful substances like tagatose from its degradation products. This makes it applicable to the production of high-value-added materials such as functional sweeteners.
