The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality of sugar-snap cookies containing various types and mixture ratios of sugar. The characteristics of sugar-snap cookies prepared with fructose, high-fructose corn syrup and invert sugar were examined through physical properties measurement and sensory evaluation. Results of the investigation suggest significant differences in the cookies made with various sugars. High-fructose corn syrup was better than others for making sugar-snap cookies. The quality of cookies baked with high-fructose corn syrup was improved compared to cookies baked with invert sugar or fructose. Varying the formula, with high-fructose corn syrup had little or no effect on the quality of the final product. Using different quantities of invert sugar and high-fructose corn syrup significantly affected the physical properties of the cookies. Sugar-snap cookies containing invert sugar had an extremely positive effect.

One osmotolerant strain from among 44 yeast isolates was selected based on its growth abilities in media containing high concentrations of sucrose. This selected strain, named SK-ENNY, was identified as Meyerozyma guilliermondii by sequencing the internal transcribed spacer regions and partial D1/D2 large-subunit domains of the 26S ribosomal RNA. SK-ENNY was utilized to produce high-fructose glucose syrup (HFGS) from sucrose-containing biomass. Conversion rates to HFGS from 310-610 g/l of pure sucrose and from 75-310 g/l of sugar beet molasses were 73.5-94.1% and 76.2-91.1%, respectively. In the syrups produced, fructose yields were 89.4-100% and 96.5-100% and glucose yields were 57.6-82.5% and 55.3-79.5% of the theoretical values for pure sucrose and molasses sugars, respectively. This is the first report of employing M. guilliermondii for production of HFGS from sucrose-containing biomass.

An innovative process for high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) production coupled with direct saccharification of raw corn starch in the agitated bead enzyme reactor (bioattitor) was investigated. The required high concentration/purity of glucose solution suitable for isomerization was produced directly in a bioattritor. without condensation of hydrolyzate, 398 g glucose/$\ell$ and 98% glucose content from 400 g/$\ell$ (w/v) of raw corn starch after 24 hours. The unsaccharified residual starch could be separated easily upon centrifugation, and resaccharified. The obtained solution also possessed other desirable requirements as substrate for isomerization, such as. low concentrations of denatured protein and calcium ions, thereby, simplified the purification step. The obtained glucose solution was isomerized in an enzyme reactor paked with immobilized glucose isomerase to evaluate the suitability as a substrate. The proposed new HFCS process seems to have many advantages over the conventional process via liquefaction-saccharification steps. The follow-up investigations of the proposed process need to be conducted to evaluate the feasibility of industrial application.

An extracellular exoinulinase($2,1-\beta-D$ fructan fructanohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.7), which catalyzes the hydrolysis of inulin into fructose and glucose, was purified 23.5-fold by ethanol precipitation, followed by Sephadex G-100 gel permeation from a cell-free extract of Kluyveromyces marxianus YS-1. The partially purified enzyme exhibited considerable activity between pH 5 to 6, with an optimum pH of 5.5, while it remained stable(100%) for 3 h at the optimum temperature of $50^{\circ}C$. $Mn^{2+}\;and\;Ca^{2+}$ produced a 2A-fold and 1.2-fold enhancement in enzyme activity, whereas $Hg^{2+}\;and\;Ag^{2+}$ completely inhibited the inulinase. A preparation of the partially purified enzyme effectively hydrolyzed inulin, sucrose, and raffinose, yet no activity was found with starch, lactose, and maltose. The enzyme preparation was then successfully used to hydrolyze pure inulin and raw inulin from Asparagus racemosus for the preparation of a high-fructose syrup. In a batch system, the exoinulinase hydrolyzed 84.8% of the pure inulin and 86.7% of the raw Asparagus racemosus inulin, where fructose represented 43.6mg/ml and 41.3mg/ml, respectively.

The whole cells of Actinoplanes missouriensis KCTC 1780 which produce glucose isomerase was immobillized by flocculation method for the effective production of high fructose syrup using packed-bed bioreactor system. Among the flocculation methods used In this study, the glucose Isomerase activity of flocculated cells using 5% polyethylenimmine and 0.2% glutaraldehyde was the highest as 46.3 unit, and the flocculant was 10.3g(wet weight) per 100m1 of broth, and the residual activity was 92.5%. In the batch operation of glucose isomerization using the flocculated cells, the optimum pH, temperature and isomerization ratio were 7.0, 75$^{\circ}C$ and 31%, respectively. The optimum concentration of Mg2+ which was activator on the glucose isomerization of flocculated cells was 0.1M, and glucose isomerase activity was increased by about 40% compared to none of Mg2+. In the packed-bed bioreactor system with 1.2 hour of residence time at 7$0^{\circ}C$, the reaction stability maintained until 96 hour without toss of activity, and the equilibrium was kept up to 120 hours of the operation.

The global consumption of fructose in the form of high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) has increased considerably over the past several decades. The current intake of HFCS exceeds that of other major caloric sweeteners such as sucrose. Fructose has potentially adverse effects on human metabolism. Therefore, the objective of this study was to analyze the monosaccharide contents of 13 sweetened milk-based beverages by using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The total monosaccharide (fructose and glucose) contents of various sweetened milk-based beverages ranged from 0.60 g/100 mL (cheese) to 26.03 g/100 mL (maple caramel snack), while milk showed only 0 g/100 mL monosaccharides. The fructose-to-glucose ratio of various popular sweetened milk-based beverages ranged from not-detected (ND) to 2.24 g/100 mL, but the content of glucose was higher than that of fructose in only three samples, namely, strawberry flavored milk, shrimp chips, and maple caramel snack. The analyzed results revealed important basic information about monosaccharides in various milk-based sweetened beverages, presenting ideas for future fructose research.

[ ${\beta}-Glucan$ ], one of the cell wall components, is most plentiful polysaccharides in cell wall and has several advantages in immune system. In yeast ${\beta}-glucan$ is mainly contained in the yeast cell wall, and thus it is important to produce high levels of cell mass for the mass production of yeast ${\beta}-glucan$. The best carbon and nitrogen sources on cell mass production were high fructose syrup and yeast extract. Response surface methodology (RSM) was very potential tool for the optimization of process factor and medium component. It was applied to estimate the effects of medium components on the production of cell mass. Optimal concentrations of high fructose syrup and yeast extract by response surface methodology were 8.0% (v/v) and 5.2% (w/v), respectively and the cell mass predicted was $17.0\;g/{\ell}$ at 20 h of cultivation.

The whole cell of alkalophilic Streptomyces sp. B-2 which produce glucose isomerase was immobilized by entrapment method for the effective production of high fructose syrup. The highest immobilized activity was achieved when the enzyme was bound to 2% $textsc{k}$-carrageenan. Immobilized glucose isomerase the pH optimum was about pH 7.5~8.5. Immobilization of alkalophilic Streptomyces sp. B-2 on 2% $textsc{k}$-carrageenan at 7$0^{\circ}C$ showed an increase in glucose isomerase activity. GI activity of immobilized cells was maximum Co2+ concentration 10-3M, Mg2+ concentration 10-3M.
