Abstract:
1. A process for producing fructooligosaccharides comprising 1-kestose (GF2), nystose (GF3), and fructofuranosil nystose (GF4), comprising the steps of a) inoculating the spores of the fungus b) cultivating the inoculated fungus of step (a), in order to promote the growth of said fungus with the formation of mycelium and the production of beta-fructofuranosidase enzyme; c) separating the beta-fructofuranosidase enzyme from the mycelium and from the culture medium; and d) transfructosylating the beta-fructofuranosidase enzyme to produce said fructooligosaccharides.
