Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) in a continuous process, which leads to the obtainment of an HMF fraction, a carbohydrate/acid fraction, a fructose fraction, and a levulinic-acid and formic-acid fraction and advantageously makes it possible, because of the purity of the obtained fractions, to return the fructose fraction obtained by means of the method directly to the production process and to use the other fractions in further-processing processes without the need for complex, additional purification steps.

Abstract: The invention relates to sucrose isomerases, to DNA sequences that code for sucrose isomerases, and to novel processes for the production of non-cariogenic sugars.

Abstract: This invention concerns a method for enzymatic preparation of 6-O-?-D-glucopyranosyl-D-sorbitol (1,6-GPS) from isomaltulose. It is specified that the isomaltulose is put into an aqueous reaction solution containing a unit having sorbitol dehydrogenase (SDH) activity, incubated, and then 1,6-GPS is recovered from the reaction solution.
