This case study explores the innovative use of sucrose in the biosynthetic production of d-allulose through a multienzyme cascade system with 500 g/L sucrose in a 10.0 mL reaction mixture. The multienzyme cascade combines invertase, d-glucose isomerase, and PsDAE. The highest yields of d-allulose can be obtained by a two-step strategy of INV-catalyzed and then immobilized GI and PsDAE.
The experimental steps are as follows:
500 g/L sucrose and 0.5 g/L INV (200,000 U/g) are used in NaAc-HAc buffer (pH 4.5). The reaction is completed within 2 hours. This step hydrolyzes sucrose with INV to produce d-fructose and d-glucose.
The pH of the reaction mixture is adjusted to 7.5 with 1 M NaOH and 50-200 g/L immobilized GI (50,000 U/g) and 20 g/L immobilized PsDAE are added. The reaction is carried out for an additional 1.5 hr, with substrate depletion and product formation being analyzed every 30 min by HPLC. This step converts d-glucose and d-fructose to d-allulose.

Sucrose can be used to develop a novel bifunctional air cathode catalyst ZnCo@CN via a facile thermal method under solvent-free conditions. This catalyst, Co/CoNx encapsulated in N-doped, sucrose-derived porous carbon, showcases superior performance metrics, making it a promising candidate for high-energy zinc-air batteries.
Synthesis Process
A zinc/cobalt carbon foam (ZnCo/foam) is synthesized using sucrose as a renewable carbon source. The synthesis involved a solvent-free method where a mixture of sucrose (1 g), Zn(NO3)2·6H2O (0.75 g), and Co(NO3)2·6H2O (2.25 g) is heated in an oil bath at 120℃ to form a viscous fluid. This fluid is then transferred to a preheated oven at 180℃ for 10 minutes. The resultant bimetallic porous carbon foam is cooled to room temperature.
The ZnCo/foam (50 mg) is mixed with 2-methylimidazole (2-MIM) (100 mg) under solvent-free conditions. The mixture is placed in a ceramic crucible and subjected to high-temperature treatment in a tubular furnace at 800℃ for 60 minutes in a reducing atmosphere (5% H2/Ar). Further heating led to the development of well-dispersed CoNx-active sites and the growth of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), resulting in the final product, ZnCo@CN.

As the synthesis process focuses on green methods, commonly used toxic propellants such as urea are replaced by sucrose. Sucrose-assisted solution combustion synthesis (SCS) has proven to be very successful in producing mixed oxides. It forms chelates with most metal cations, has significant reducing power, and is able to change the morphology and texture of the material.
The method for synthesizing LaCrO3 perovskite oxide using sucrose as a propellant for the chemical reaction is as follows:
Aqueous solutions of 0.1 M La(NO3)3·6H2O, 0.1 M Cr(NO3)3·9H2O, and 12 g of sucrose are added to distilled water under constant stirring to create a homogeneous mixture. The pH of the reaction mixture is controlled by gradually adding ammonium hydroxide drop by drop. The homogeneous mixture is then heated to 100 ℃ on a hot plate for a sufficient period. During this time, oxygen reduction reactions occurred until the mixture formed a gel. This gel auto-ignited, releasing a significant amount of thermal energy and gaseous byproducts. The thermal energy from the combustion reaction provided the necessary energy for oxide formation. The resulting powder from this auto-combustion process is then annealed in a porcelain crucible at 800 ℃ for 2 hours for aging. The resulting LaCrO3 perovskite oxide is finely powdered and used for further characterization.
What is sucrose?
Sucrose is a disaccharide composed of glucose and fructose subunits.
How is sucrose extracted and refined for human consumption?
Sucrose is extracted and refined from sugarcane or sugar beet. Sugar mills crush sugarcane to produce raw sugar, which is then shipped to other factories for further refining into pure sucrose. Sugar beet factories directly process the beets into refined sugar.
What is the final purification process for sucrose production?
The final purification process for sucrose production involves concentrating the sugar syrup by boiling under a vacuum and then crystallizing it to produce clear, odorless, and sweet crystals of pure sucrose.
How are glucose and fructose linked in sucrose?
In sucrose, glucose and fructose are linked via an ether bond between C1 on the glucosyl subunit and C2 on the fructosyl unit. This bond is called a glycosidic linkage.
What is the specific rotation of sucrose?
The specific rotation of sucrose at 20 °C using yellow ""sodium-D"" light is +66.47°.
How does hydrolysis break down sucrose?
Hydrolysis breaks the glycosidic bond in sucrose, converting it into glucose and fructose. This reaction can be accelerated by adding the enzyme sucrase or by using weak acids, such as cream of tartar or lemon juice.
How much energy is released during hydrolysis of sucrose?
Hydrolysis of sucrose releases about 1.0 kcal (4.2 kJ) per mole of sucrose, or about 3 small calories per gram of product.
How is sucrose synthesized by plants and other organisms?
Sucrose is synthesized by plants, algae, and cyanobacteria through the biosynthesis pathway using the precursors UDP-glucose and fructose 6-phosphate. This process is catalyzed by the enzyme sucrose-6-phosphate synthase. Sucrose is the end product of photosynthesis and is naturally found in many food plants, often alongside the monosaccharide fructose.
