Isomaltulose is an ideal functional sweetener and has been approved as a safe sucrose substitute. It is produced mainly through sucrose isomerization catalyzed by sucrose isomerase. Here, to produce food-grade isomaltulose and improve its yield, the sucrose isomerase gene from Pantoea dispersa UQ68J was overexpressed in the non-pathogenic yeast Yarrowia lipolytica. When the engineered strain, S47, was fermented on 600 g/L sucrose in a 10-L bioreactor, a maximum isomaltulose concentration of 572.1 g/L was achieved. Sucrose isomerase activity was 7.43 U/mL, and yield reached 0.96 g/g. Moreover, monosaccharide byproducts were simultaneously transformed into intracellular lipids, thus reducing the production of undesirable compounds and resulting in high isomaltulose purity (97.8%) in the final broth. In summary, the bioprocess employed in this study provides an efficient alternative strategy for isomaltulose production.
