Abstract
Abstract A process is disclosed for conversion of monosaccharides, disaccharides and trisaccharides into aldonic acids by means of dehydrogenase enzyme containing cells without a hydrogen acceptor and without the nutrients and conditions necessary for cell growth. High purity maltobionic and lactobionic acids may be formed thereby during the manufacturing process of the disaccharide. Glucose, maltose and maltotriose in starch syrups of varying compositions may also be so converted to their corresponding aldonic acids.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
27 words
A process in accordance with claim 1 further including, prior to said contacting step, the step of: producing said oligosaccharides by acid or enzyme hydrolysis of starch.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
28 words
A process in accordance with claim 1 wherein said cells are added at a rate of 15 to 25 mg. per grams of oligosaccharides on the dry basis.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
39 words
A process in accordance with claim 1 further including the step of: hydrolyzing a starch solution with enzymes to produce said oligosaccharides; wherein said contacting step is performed simultaneously with said hydrolyzing step to perform simultaneous hydrolysis and oxidation.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
30 words
A process in accordance with claim 4 for preparing a syrup composed principally of maltobionic and maltotrionic acids wherein said hydrolyzing step comprises treating said starch solution with Beta -amylase.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
21 words
A process in accordance with claim 1 wherein said oligosaccharides is in the form of an aqueous solution of 10-30% concentration.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
30 words
A process in accordance with claim 6 wherein said contacting step is performed at a temperature of 20* - 50*C. and atmospheric pressure, with a pH of 5.0 - 8.0.
