The synthesis of novel galactosides is interesting because of their important role in several biological processes. Their properties greatly depend upon the configuration and type of galactoside. Therefore, to study biological activity, it is essential to elucidate the structure of the products. Glycosidases are capable of catalyzing glycosidic linkages with absolute stereoselectivity of the anomeric center. We report the enzymatic synthesis of galactosyl-ethylene glycol, galactosyl-glycerol, and galactosyl-erythritol by immobilized beta-galactosidase from Aspegillus oryzae. The obtained galactosides were isolated and fully characterized by an extensive nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) study. Complete structure elucidation and full proton and carbon assignments were carried out using 1D ((1)H and (13)C) and 2D (gCOSY, TOCSY, multiplicity-edited gHSQC, and gHMBC) NMR experiments. The beta-galactosidase from A. oryzae showed a strong preference for primary alcohols. For galactosyl-glycerol and galactosyl-erythritol, this preference generated one and two chiral centers, respectively, and a mixture of stereoisomers was obtained as a consequence.

d-Tagatose, a rare sugar endowed with a low-calorie property, superior taste quality, and probiotic functionality, has garnered significant research attention. However, the prevailing biological production methods relying on β-galactosidase and l-arabinose isomerase face challenges including high cost and suboptimal conversion efficiency. Consequently, it is of great research significance to find efficient alternative routes for d-tagatose synthesis.

Enzyme stability and activity are pivotal factors for their implementation in different industrial applications. Enzyme supramolecular engineering relies on the fabrication of a tailor-made enzyme nano-environment to ensure enzyme stability without impairing activity. Cyclodextrins (CDs), cyclic oligomers of glucose, act as protein chaperones and stabilize, upon interaction with hydrophobic amino acid residues exposed at the protein surface, its three-dimensional structure.

β-Galactosidase (β-gal) has emerged as a pivotal biomarker in primary ovarian cancer. Despite the existence of numerous fluorescent probes for β-gal activity detection, quinone methide-based immobilizing probes were shown to avoid rapid diffusion of the activated fluorophore and improve the resolution. However, the synthesis of these fluorophores, particularly near-infrared fluorophores, still exhibits lower efficiency.

One of the main goals of contemporary biotechnology has been the development of novel immobilized enzyme formulations. In the present study, the industrially important β-galactosidase was trapped in a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) gel to immobilize it. The optimization of immobilization method and characterization of the immobilized enzyme were studied.
