葡萄糖二酸研究进展

Progress in glucaric acid

摘要:

葡萄糖二酸是一种葡萄糖衍生物，可作为原料制备多种聚合物和生物质新能源，在化工领域具有广泛的应用价值，被认为是“最具价值的生物炼制产品”之一。葡萄糖二酸也具有调控体内激素、提高机体免疫功能、减少癌症病发的作用，它在食品和医药领域的关注度和市场需求逐年增加。目前葡萄糖二酸的制备主要依靠化学氧化法生产，用微生物法合成的研究还处于初级探索阶段。本文综述了葡萄糖二酸的在医药、化工等领域的应用前景，阐述了其生产方法及测定手段，并对微生物法生产葡萄糖二酸进行了展望。

Abstract:

Glucaric acid (GA) is derived from glucose and commonly used in chemical industry. It is also considered as one of the “Top value-added chemicals from biomass” as carbohydrate monomers to produce various synthetic polymers and bioenergy. The demand for GA in food manufacture is increasing. GA has also attracted public attentions due to its therapeutic uses such as regulating hormones, increasing the immune function and reducing the risks of cancers. Currently GA is produced by chemical oxidation. Research on production of GA via microbial synthesis is still at preliminary stage. We reviewed the advances of glucaric acid applications, preparation and quantification methods. The prospects on production of GA by microbial fermentation were also discussed.
