Abstract
Isomaltulose is a novel sweetener and is considered healthier than the common sugars, such as sucrose or glucose. It has been internationally recognized as a safe food product and holds vast potential in pharmaceutical and food industries. Sucrose isomerase is commonly used to produce isomaltulose from the substrate sucrose in vitro and in vivo. However, free cells/enzymes were often mixed with the product, making recycling difficult and leading to a significant increase in production costs. Immobilized cells/enzymes have the following advantages including easy separation from products, high stability, and reusability, which can significantly reduce production costs. They are more suitable than free ones for industrial production. Recently, immobilized cells/enzymes have been encapsulated using composite materials to enhance their mechanical strength and reusability and reduce leakage. This review summarizes the advancements made in immobilized cells/enzymes for isomaltulose production in terms of refining traditional approaches and innovating in materials and methods. Moreover, innovations in immobilized enzyme methods include cross-linked enzyme aggregates, nanoflowers, inclusion bodies, and directed affinity immobilization. Material innovations involve nanomaterials, graphene oxide, and so on. These innovations circumvent challenges like the utilization of toxic cross-linking agents and enzyme leakage encountered in traditional methods, thus contributing to enhanced enzyme stability.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Isomaltulose is a 'generally recognized as safe' ingredient and is widely used in the food, pharmaceutical and chemical industries. The exploration and development of efficient technologies is essential for enhancing isomaltulose yield. RESULTS In the present study, a simple and efficient surface display platform mediated by a non-yeast signal peptide was developed in Yarrowia lipolytica and utilized to efficiently produce isomaltulose from sucrose. We discovered that the signal peptide SP1 of sucrose isomerase from Pantoea dispersa UQ68J (PdSI) could guide SIs anchoring to the cell surface of Y. lipolytica, demonstrating a novel and simple cell surface display strategy. Furthermore, the PdSI expression level was significantly increased through optimizing the promoters and multi-site integrating genes into chromosome. The final strain gained 451.7 g L-1 isomaltulose with a conversion rate of 90.3% and a space-time yield of 50.2 g L-1 h-1 . CONCLUSION The present study provides an efficient way for manufacturing isomaltulose with a high space-time yield. This heterogenous signal peptide-mediated cell surface display strategy featured with small fusion tag (approximately 2.2 kDa of SP1), absence of enzyme leakage in fermentation broth and ample room for optimization, providing a convenient way to construct whole-cell biocatalysts to synthesize other products and broadening the array of molecular toolboxes accessible for engineering Y. lipolytica. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Sucrose isomerase (SI), catalyzing sucrose to isomaltulose, has been widely used in isomaltulose production, but its poor thermostability is still resisted in sustainable batches production. Here, protein engineering and one-step immobilized cell strategy were simultaneously coupled to maintain steady state for long-term operational stabilities. First, rational design of Pantoea dispersa SI (PdSI) for improving its thermostability by predicting and substituting the unstable amino acid residues was investigated using computational analysis. After screening mutagenesis library, two single mutants (PdSIV280L and PdSIS499F) displayed favorable characteristics on thermostability, and further study found that the double mutant PdSIV280L/S499F could stabilize PdSIWT better. Compared with PdSIWT, PdSIV280L/S499F displayed a 3.2°C-higher T m , and showed a ninefold prolonged half-life at 45°C. Subsequently, a one-step simplified immobilization method was developed for encapsulation of PdSIV280L/S499F in food-grade Corynebacterium glutamicum cells to further enhance the recyclability of isomaltulose production. Recombinant cells expressing combinatorial mutant (RCSI2) were successfully immobilized in 2.5% sodium alginate without prior permeabilization. The immobilized RCSI2 showed that the maximum yield of isomaltulose by batch conversion reached to 453.0 g/L isomaltulose with a productivity of 41.2 g/l/h from 500.0 g/L sucrose solution, and the conversion rate remained 83.2% after 26 repeated batches.

Abstract
Isomaltulose is becoming a focus as a functional sweetener for sucrose substitutes; however, isomaltulose production using sucrose as the substrate is not economical. Low-cost feedstocks are needed for their production. In this study, beet molasses (BM) was introduced as the substrate to produce isomaltulose for the first time. Immobilized sucrose isomerase (SIase) was proved as the most efficient biocatalyst for isomaltulose synthesis from sulfuric acid (H2SO4) pretreated BM followed by centrifugation for the removal of insoluble matters and reducing viscosity. The effect of different factors on isomaltulose production is investigated. The isomaltulose still achieved a high concentration of 446.4 ± 5.5 g/L (purity of 85.8%) with a yield of 0.94 ± 0.02 g/g under the best conditions (800 g/L pretreated BM, 15 U immobilized SIase/g dosage, 40°C, pH of 5.5, and 10 h) in the eighth batch. Immobilized SIase used in repeated batch reaction showed good reusability to convert pretreated BM into isomaltulose since the sucrose conversion rate remained 97.5% in the same batch and even above 94% after 11 batches. Significant cost reduction of feedstock costs was also confirmed by economic analysis. The findings indicated that this two-step process to produce isomaltulose using low-cost BM and immobilized SIase is feasible. This process has the potential to be effective and promising for industrial production and application of isomaltulose as a functional sweetener for sucrose substitute.

Abstract
A simple and efficient method was developed for the preparation of high-purity trehalulose from the waste syrup of isomaltulose production. The waste syrup was pre-treated with C18 solid-phase extraction, where 98% decolorization and 97% reducing sugar recovery were obtained, followed by hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography separation on a cysteine-bonded zwitterionic column. Under optimized conditions, trehalulose was separated from isomaltulose isomer and prepared on a semi-preparative scale with >99% purity. The structure of the prepared trehalulose was subsequently confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance, and three tautomers of trehalulose (α-D-glucosylpyranosyl-1,1-β-D-fructopyranose, α-D-glucosylpyranosyl-1,1-β-D-fructofuranose, and α-D-glucosylpyranosyl-1,1-α-D-fructofuranose) were detected and completely characterized by 13 C NMR spectroscopy for the first time in this study. The tautomerization of α-D and β-D type transition was observed by hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography on an AdvanceBio Glycan Mapping column, with smaller particle size (2.7 μm). Furthermore, the prepared trehalulose was applied as a standard for trehalulose quantification during the sucrose conversion by Klebsiella sp. LX3. The combination of solid-phase extraction and hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography offers a new avenue for the preparation of sugar isomers from complex natural or fermentation products.

Abstract
To improve the yield of sucrose isomerase from Pantoea dispersa UQ68J, we studied the effect of different signal peptides and fermentation conditions on sucrose isomerase expression in Escherichia coli. The gene of sucrose isomerase was optimized and expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3) with native signal peptide which was named as ORI strain. The total and extracellular enzyme activity was 85 and 65 U/mL in the flask, respectively. The mature protein, which started from the 22th amino acid, was connected with the PelB and OmpA signal peptide to construct P22 and O22 strain, respectively. The total activity of P22 reached 138 U/mL, which was 1.6 times of ORI strain. The total activity of O22 strain was similar to that of ORI strain. Induced by 3.0 g/L lactose, the total activity of P22 strain increased to 168 U/mL. In 3 L fermentor, the effects of glycine concentration and induction time were studied. Induction when the DCW reached 18 g/L (OD₆₀₀=30), with 0.5% glycine, the extracellular enzyme activity reached 1 981 U/mL, and the total enzyme activity reached 2 640 U/mL, which is the highest activity of sucrose isomerase that was expressed in recombinant E. coli.
