Short-Chain Fructooligosaccharide Synthesis from Sugarcane Syrup with Commercial Enzyme Preparations and Some Physical and Antioxidation Properties of the Syrup and Syrup Powder.

ABSTRACT: Short-chain fructooligosaccharides (sc-FOS) are prebiotics beneficial to human health, which can be synthesized from raw material containing a high sucrose content. Sugarcane syrup (SS) without molasses removal contains sucrose as a major sugar and is a rich source of several bioactive compounds. The aim of this study is to investigate factors affecting sc-FOS synthesis from SS using commercial enzyme preparations containing fructosyltransferase activity as biocatalysts. sc-FOS content increased significantly as the sucrose concentration of SS in the reaction mixture increased up to 40% (w/v). Changes in carbohydrate compositions during the transfructosylating reaction of a pure sucrose solution and SS prepared from the two sugarcane cultivars Khon Kaen 3 and Suphanburi 50, c
