Biotransformation of Sucrose to Isomaltulose, a Natural Sugar Substitute with Prebiotic Properties
The optimal parameters of biotransformation of sucrose to isomaltulose by isomaltulosesynthase (in the form of homogenate) have been determined: enzyme dosage 5 U/mg, sucrose concentration 10% and transformation time 3 h. Isomaltulose prebiotic properties were confirmed in vitro.
