Fructosyltransferase activity of commercial enzyme preparations used in fruit juice processing

1995

REP.G0787

Of twenty-two commercial fungal enzyme preparations used in fruit juice processing examined, Pectinex Ultra SP-L, was found to possess the highest activity of fructosyltransferase (44.8 units/ml). The enzyme preparation converted sucrose into a high fructooliogosaccharide syrup containing 42.3% kestose, 17.2% nystose, 10.6% sucrose, 27.8% glucose, and 2.1% fructose. The efficiency was 69% based the amount of sucrose consumed.
