Abstract
The notable physical and chemical properties of sucrose fatty acid esters have prompted their use in the chemical industry, especially as surfactants, since 1939. Recently, their now well-recognized value as nutraceuticals and as additives in cosmetics has significantly increased demand for ready access to them. As such a review of current methods for the preparation of sucrose fatty acid esters by both chemical and enzymatic means is warranted and is presented here together with an account of the historical development of these compounds as surfactants (emulsifiers). The somewhat belated recognition of the antimicrobial, anticancer and insecticidal activities of sucrose esters is also discussed along with a commentary on their structure-property profiles.

Abstract
Biodegradable nonionic sugar esters-based surfactants have been gaining more and more attention in recent years due to their chemical plasticity that enables the various applications of these molecules. In this review, various synthesis methods and biotechnological implications of lactose esters (LEs) uses are considered. Several chemical and enzymatic approaches are described for the synthesis of LEs, together with their applications, i.e. function in detergents formulation and as additives that not only stabilize food products but also protect food from undesired microbial contamination. Further, this article discusses medical applications of LEs in cancer treatment, especially their uses as biosensors, halogenated anticancer drugs, and photosensitizing agents for photodynamic therapy of cancer and photodynamic inactivation of microorganisms.

Abstract
A flavonoids-free Brazilian propolis (type 6) showed biological effects against mutans streptococci and inhibited the activity of glucosyltransferases. This study evaluated the influence of the ethanolic extract of a novel type of propolis (EEP) and its purified hexane fraction (EEH) on mutans streptococci biofilms and the development of dental caries in rats. The chemical composition of the propolis extracts were examined by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. The effects of EEP and EEH on Streptococcus mutans UA159 and Streptococcus sobrinus 6715 biofilms were analysed by time-kill and glycolytic pH drop assays. Their influence on proton-translocating F-ATPase activity was also tested. In the animal study, the rats were infected with S. sobrinus 6715 and fed with cariogenic diet 2000. The rats were treated topically twice a day with each of the extracts (or control) for 5 weeks. After the experimental period, the microbial composition of their dental plaque and their caries scores were determined. The results showed that fatty acids (oleic, palmitic, linoleic and stearic) were the main compounds identified in EEP and EEH. These extracts did not show major effects on the viability of mutans streptococci biofilms. However, EEP and EEH significantly reduced acid production by the biofilms and also inhibited the activity of F-ATPase (60-65%). Furthermore, both extracts significantly reduced the incidence of smooth surface caries in vivo without displaying a reduction of the percentage of S. sobriuns in the animals' plaque (P < 0.05). However, only EEH was able to reduce the incidence and severity of sulcal surface caries (P < 0.05). The data suggest that the cariostatic properties of propolis type 6 are related to its effect on acid production and acid tolerance of cariogenic streptococci; the biological activities may be attributed to its high content of fatty acids.

Abstract
Mutans streptococci are oral bacteria with a key role in the initiation of dental caries, because their glucosyltransferases synthesize polysaccharides from sucrose that allow them to colonize the tooth surface. Among the strategies to prevent dental caries that are being investigated are (1) the inhibition of bacterial growth of mutans streptococci or (2) the inhibition of glucosyltransferases involved in polysaccharide formation. Pure fatty acid esters of sucrose, maltose and maltotriose were synthesized by an enzyme-catalyzed process and tested as inhibitors of two glucosyltransferases of great homology, those from Streptococcus sobrinus and Leuconostoc mesenteroides NRRL B-512F. In spite of having their nonreducing end glucose blocked at 6-OH, they did not inhibit dextran synthesis. However, their effect on the growth of S. sobrinus in the solid and liquid phase was notable. 6-O-Lauroylsucrose, 6'-O-lauroylmaltose and 6"-O-lauroylmaltotriose at 100 microg/mL showed complete inhibition of S. sobrinus in agar plates. Consequently, these nontoxic derivatives are very promising for inclusion in oral-hygiene products aimed at disrupting plaque formation and preventing caries.

Abstract
It has been supposed that rate of sorbitol metabolism in the air-exposed streptococcal cells could be limited by the low capacity to regenerate nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) from reduced NAD (NADH) following inactivation of pyruvate formate-lyase by oxygen. The rate-limiting steps, however, have not been identified. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of temporary exposure of the streptococcal cells to air on the intracellular flux of glucose and sorbitol metabolism by measuring acid excretion, fluorescence dependent on cellular level of NADH, glycolytic intermediates and enzyme activities. The exposure of cells to air decreased the acid excretions during glucose and sorbitol metabolism. The analysis of the glycolytic intermediates and the fluorescence suggested that the reduced level of acid excretion in the air-exposed glucose metabolizing cells resulted from the decrease in pyruvate catabolism. In the presence of sorbitol, the decreased acid production resulted from the reduced rates of the reactions catalyzed by sorbitol-phosphoenolpyruvate phosphotransferase and sorbitol 6-phosphate dehydrogenase because of shortage of substrates for these enzymes in addition to the decrease in pyruvate catabolism.

Abstract
Reduced nicotinamide adenine nucleotide (NADH)-dependent fluorescence and acid excretion during glucose pulse to washed Streptococcus mutans cells were monitored simultaneously at pH 7.0 with a fluorescence spectrophotometer and a pH-stat. Acid excretion started with addition of glucose. At the same time, the fluorescence dropped quickly to a minimum level and increased to a plateau level, suggesting that pyruvate metabolism started immediately after addition of glucose, then the rate of the pyruvate metabolism became almost equal to the rate of glycolysis. When the acid excretion stopped, the fluorescence increased rapidly from the plateau to the maximum level, suggesting that the pyruvate metabolism stopped first, and then began to decrease to the original level. The system used in this study for simultaneously monitoring the level of NADH and acid excretion gives us a crucial tool to clarify a biochemical mechanism of the control of sugar metabolism by streptococci.
