Production of inulinase, fructosyltransferase and sucrase from fungi on low-value inulin-rich substrates and their use in generation of fructose and fructo-oligosaccharides.

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek 107(3) , 799-811, (2015)

Owing to applications in the food and nutraceutical industries, inulinases, fructosyltransferases and sucrases have gained considerable attention in recent times. Twenty-five fungal strains were screened for production of these enzymes on three different medi...

Identification of the gene for β-fructofuranosidase from Ceratocystis moniliformis CMW 10134 and characterization of the enzyme expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

BMC Biotechnol. 13 , 100, (2013)

β-Fructofuranosidases (or invertases) catalyse the commercially-important biotransformation of sucrose into short-chain fructooligosaccharides with wide-scale application as a prebiotic in the functional foods and pharmaceutical industries.We identified a β-f...

Effects of different carbon sources on trichothecene production and Tri gene expression by Fusarium graminearum in liquid culture.

FEMS Microbiol. Lett. 285(2) , 212-9, (2008)

Fusarium head blight caused by Fusarium graminearum is a disease of cereal crops that not only reduces crop yield and quality but also results in contamination with trichothecenes such as nivalenol and deoxynivalenol (DON). To analyze the trichothecene induct...

Kinetics of sucrose conversion to fructo-oligosaccharides using enzyme (invertase) under free condition.

Bioprocess Biosyst. Eng. 37(12) , 2529-37, (2014)

The study reports the synthesis of fructo-oligosaccharide (FOS) from sucrose using invertase derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The reaction was conducted in a batch mode under free enzyme condition. Fructo-oligosaccharide formation was detected at a high...

The chromatographic analysis of oligosaccharides and preparation of 1-kestose and nystose in yacon.

Int. J. Food Sci. Nutr. 63(3) , 338-42, (2012)

The thin-layer chromatographic analysis of the crude oligosaccharides extracted from yacon revealed the presence of glucose, fructose, sucrose, 1-kestose and nystose. The qualitative and quantitative analysis was carried out on oligosaccharides by high pressu...

Identification of fructooligosaccharides in different banana cultivars.

J. Agric. Food Chem. 56(9) , 3305-10, (2008)

Banana has been currently indicated as a good source of fructooligosaccharides (FOS), which are considered to be functional components of foods. However, significant differences in their amounts in bananas have been observed in the literature. This work aims ...

Enzymatic synthesis of fructooligosaccharides with high 1-kestose concentrations using response surface methodology.

Bioresour. Technol. 102(22) , 10180-6, (2011)

Response surface methodology was used as an optimization tool for the production of short chain fructooligosaccharides (sc-FOS) using the commercial cellulolytic enzyme preparation, Rohapect CM. Three independent variables, temperature, concentrations of sucr...

Structure and protective effect on UVB-induced keratinocyte damage of fructan from white garlic.

Carbohydr. Polym. 92(1) , 200-5, (2013)

The fructose polymer fructan was extracted from white garlic and fractionated using DEAE cellulose 52 and Sephadex G-100 columns to characterize its chemical composition and protective effect against ultraviolet radiation b (UVB) induced human keratinocyte (H...

Various non-digestible saccharides increase intracellular calcium ion concentration in rat small-intestinal enterocytes.

Br. J. Nutr. 92(5) , 751-5, (2004)

We have previously shown that non-digestible saccharides (NDS) stimulate intestinal Ca absorption via tight junctions. However, the cellular mechanisms activated by the NDS are not yet known. We investigated the effects of four NDS, difructose anhydride (DFA)...

Effect of a kestose and nystose preparation on growth performance and gastrointestinal tract function of turkeys.

Poult. Sci. 86(6) , 1133-9, (2007)

The aim of the present study was to determine the effects of dietary administration of a fructooligosaccharide preparation rich in kestose and nestose on growth performance and gastrointestinal parameters in young turkeys. The kestose and nestose preparation ...
