Title: Donal F Day: Innovator in Oligosaccharide Production
Introduction
Donal F Day is a prominent inventor based in Baton Rouge, LA (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of oligosaccharide production, holding a total of 13 patents. His innovative work focuses on the fermentation processes that enhance the production of beneficial oligosaccharides.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is a process for the production of isomaltooligosaccharides. This invention provides a method for producing oligosaccharides by fermenting dextran-sucrase-producing microorganisms with sucrose and maltose. The disclosed process allows for the control of the final composition of the isomaltooligosaccharides by adjustments to pH and the initial ratio of sucrose to maltose. Another significant patent involves isomaltooligosaccharides that inhibit avian pathogenic intestinal bacteria. These IMOs, produced by ATCC 13146 fermentation with a sucrose:maltose ratio of 2:1, have been discovered to be effective prebiotics in mixed cultures of microbial populations, including cultures from chicken ceca. Surprisingly, in mixed microbial cultures, this IMO composition proved as effective as FOS. Thus, these IMOs can be used as effective prebiotics for both birds and mammals. Moreover, the IMOs were discovered to be effective non-competitive inhibitors of α-glucosidase. These IMOs also have potential therapeutic applications for several diseases, including obesity, diabetes mellitus, pre-diabetes, gastritis, gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer, caries, cancer, and viral diseases such as hepatitis B and C, HIV, and AIDS. A diet with 5-20% IMOs was also shown to reduce abdominal fat tissue in mammals.
