  • Patent number: 11872253
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing marine algae-derived agarotriose, and a use thereof as a prebiotic. More specifically, the present invention investigates the characteristics of agarotriose as a prebiotic which is selectively metabolized by probiotic microorganisms, thereby enabling agarotriose to be used as an anti-cancer or anti-inflammatory agent in the fields of food and pharmaceuticals, and enabling agarotriose to be obtained at high yield through efficient purification with minimal loss after enzymatic hydrolysis of a red algae-derived polysaccharide without pre-treatment.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 19, 2022
    Date of Patent: January 16, 2024
    Assignee: Korea University Research and Business Foundation
    Inventors: Kyoung Heon Kim, Yong-Su Jin, Eun-Ju Yun, Dong-Hyun Kim, Sora Yu, Kyung-Mun Cho, Na Jeong Park

  • Publication number: 20200232957
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for quantifying 3,6-anhydro-L-galactose using high-performance liquid chromatography and a differential refractometric index detector, whereby L-AHG and D-galactose, which are saccharification products of agarose or agar, can be independently quantified by controlling the separation conditions of the high-performance liquid chromatography/differential refractive index detector, even though the two materials are difficult to separate due to having similar molecular weights and structures.
