Abstract:
The present invention relates to the field of poly-and oligosaccharides and their dietary effects. In particular it relates to a method of producing a branched α-glucan. Further aspects of the invention are a branched α-glucancomprising alternating α(1→4) and α(1→6) glucosidic linkages and having α(1→4,6) branching points, a food composition, and the use of an α-glucano-transferase enzyme for reducing the digestible carbohydrates of a starch containing food material.

Claim (Index 1):
Method of producing an \u03b1-glucan with a ratio of branching of at least 8% comprising contacting a polysaccharide or oligosaccharide substrate comprising at its non-reducing end at least two \u03b1(1\u21924) linked D-glucose units with an \u03b1 glucanotransferase enzyme capable of cleaving \u03b1(1\u21924) glucosidic linkages and making new alternating \u03b1(1\u21924) and \u03b1(1\u21926) glucosidic linkages with \u03b1(1\u21924,6) branching points without forming consecutive \u03b1(1\u21926) glucosidic linkages, wherein the \u03b1 glucanotransferase is selected from the group consisting of GTFB, GTFC and GTFD types of enzyme, and a functional homolog thereof having the specified enzymatic activity.
