  1. Biocatalytic conversion of inulin and sucrose into short chain oligosaccharides for potential pharmaceutical applications

    Biocatalytic conversion of inulin and sucrose into short chain oligosaccharides for potential pharmaceutical applications

    Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Science, Technology, Innovation and Development • Authors: Taurai Mutanda --- Discipline of Microbiology, School of Life Sciences, South Africa Brendan S. Wilhelmi --- Department of Biochemistry and Microbiology, Rhodes, South Africa Chris G. Whiteley --- Department of Biochemistry and Microbiology, Rhodes, South Africa
    The production of fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and inulooligosaccharides (IOS) of varying degrees of polymerization (DP) was optimized by orthogonal experimental designs using central composite design (CCD) and response surface methodology (RSM). The FOS produced were quantified and maximal GF2, GF3 and...
