SternEnzym GmbH & Co. KG Company Logo
Sternzym FOS L is a liquid enzyme preparation with fructosyltransferase activity. It catalyzes the hydrolysis of sucrose and subsequently the transfer of fructosyl-groups to a sucrose molecule or to an existing FOS. Depending on the enzyme dosage and reaction time, mainly Kestose (GF2), Nystose (GF3) and Fructosylnystose (GF4) are formed and a total conversion rate of sucrose to fructose of 50 to 60 % can be reached.

Technical Details & Test Data

Prebiotic fructooligosaccharides (FOS)

Sternzym FOS L catalyzes the hydrolysis of sucrose and subsequently the transfer of fructosyl-groups to a sucrose molecule or to an existing FOS. Depending on the enzyme dosage and reaction time, mainly Kestose (GF2), Nystose (GF3) and Fructosylnystose (GF4) are formed (see Fig. 1). A total conversion rate of sucrose to fructose of 50 to 60 % can be reached.

Application of Sternzym FOS L

 

Sternzym FOS L - Prebiotic Fructooligosaccharides (Fos) - 1

1. A 60% (w/v) sucrose solutions is used as a starting material for the production of prebiotic FOS.

2. After the complete dissolution of sucrose, the pH should be adjusted to a value of 5.0 to 5.5. The temperature should be set to 55 to 60°C.

3. Prepare a 10% enzyme solution.

4. To this sucrose solution, 3 ml of the 10% Sternzym FOS L solution should be added. This corresponds to a level of 300 ppm per syrup.

5. Incubate for 16 to 24h.
