Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for reducing fructan in a fructan-containing food product, including adding an invertase belonging to enzyme classification EC 3.2.1.26 to the food product, and incubating the food product with the invertase, wherein fructan in the fructan-containing food product is hydrolysed. The invention further relates to the use of an invertase belonging to enzyme classification EC. 3.2.1.26 for the preparation of a medicament or a dietary supplement for the treatment of a person suffering from irritable bowel syndrome. Invertase (EC 3.2.1.26) may optionally by further combined with inulinase (EC3.2.1.7) and/or beta-fructosidase (EC 3.2.1.80).
Claims11
A method for reducing an amount of fructan in a non-fermented fructan-containing food product that does not contain separately added isolated inulin or fructan, the method comprising adding an invertase belonging to enzyme classification EC 3.2.1.26 to the non-fermented fructan-containing food product, and incubating the non-fermented fructan-containing food product with the invertase, thereby producing a hydrolysed food product.
A non-fermented fructan-containing food product comprising an invertase belonging to enzyme classification EC 3.2.1.26, or an intermediate form of a non-fermented fructan-containing food product comprising an invertase belonging to enzyme classification EC 3.2.1.26, wherein the intermediate form is a food form during or before preparation of the food product.
