Abstract
This invention relates to a method for production on an industrial scale of the branched fructooligosaccharide indicated by the general structural formula below using microorganisms or an enzyme produced by microorganisms which belong to the genus Aspergillus, ##STR1## wherein in the formula above, m=0-10, n=0-8 and m+n=3-10.
Claims12
A method for the production of branched fructooligosaccharides of the following formula:
- ##STR4## wherein m=0-10, n=0-8 and m+n=3-10 comprising treating a sucrose solution containing at least 30% sucrose with the mycelia or the enzyme prepared from the mycelia of the microorganism Aspergillus sydowi at a reaction temperature in the range of 40.degree.-60.degree. C., subsequently removing the branched fructooligosaccharides produced, and separating said branched fructooligosaccharides from other compounds produced.
