Overview:
Fructosyltransferase (CAS No. 9030-16-4, EC 2.4.1.9) can use sucrose as a raw material to synthesize oligosaccharides such as kestose. Fructooligosaccharides (FOS), also known as oligofructose, are excellent food ingredients with prebiotic physiological benefits. FOS mainly consists of kestose (GF2) and nystose (GF3).
This product is produced through deep fermentation using *Aspergillus fijiensis*. When used to produce FOS, the one-time conversion rate of sucrose to FOS reaches 56%-62%.
