Physicochemical characterization of fructooligosaccharides and evaluation of their suitability as a potential sweetener for diabetics.
Fructooligosaccharides (FOSs) were prepared from sucrose using fungal fructosyl transferase (FTase) obtained from Aspergillus oryzae MTCC 5154. The resulting mixture consisted of glucose (28-30%), sucrose (18-20%) and fructooligosaccharides (50-54%) as in..... Read More
