Preparation of fructooligosaccharides using Aspergillus niger 6640 whole-cell as catalyst for bio-transformation

Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) have received particular interest because of their biological and functional properties as dietary fibres and their potential utilization as prebiotic compounds. In this research FOS were produced from sucrose using dried Aspergillus niger CGMCC 6640 mycelia containing β-fructofuranosidas (FFases) as a whole-cell catalyst. To support production of FOS bio-transformed by A. niger 6640, the effects of production...
