Enzymatic conversion of sucrose to kestose by fungal extracellular fructosyltransferase

Enzymatic conversion of sucrose to kestose by fungal extracellular fructosyltransferase

An extracellular fructosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.9) from Aspergillus foetidus NRRL 337 was found capable of converting sucrose into a syrup containing more than 50% kestose. The production efficiencies ranged from 26 to 47%, depending on sucrose concentration and the reaction time.
