Sucrose phosphorylase is widely used in the food industry for the production of glycosides and other sugar derivatives. It catalyzes the conversion of sucrose into glucose-1-phosphate and fructose, which are valuable intermediates in various enzymatic processes. This enzyme is particularly useful in the synthesis of rare sugars and functional oligosaccharides, which have applications as low-calorie sweeteners and prebiotics. Additionally, it plays a role in the development of bioactive compounds and in the modification of food textures. Its ability to transfer glycosyl groups makes it a key tool in biotechnology for creating novel carbohydrate-based products.
