“…Alpha-glucosidases are generally categorized as hydrolytic enzymes (class 3) and mainly hydrolyze disaccharides, oligosaccharides, aromatic glycosides, sucrose and polysaccharides ( Mohamed Sham Shihabudeen, Hansi Priscilla & Thirumurugan, 2011 ; Verastegui-Omaña et al, 2017 ). In addition, alpha-glucosidase mediates transglycosidation ( Johnson et al, 2016 ). The enzyme converts the alpha-1,4-glucosidic bond in polysaccharides into an alpha-1,6-glycosidic bond or other forms of linkage ( Benayad et al, 2016 ), resulting in the formation of non-fermentable isomaltooligosaccharides (IMOs) or sugar esters/glycopeptides ( Kaneko et al, 1995 ).…”
