NOVEL ENZYME FOR THE PRODUCTION OF PREBIOTIC OLIGOSACCHARIDES

摘要

An industrially viable process of obtaining prebiotic oligosaccharides using a new Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous enzyme, characterized by showing ±-glucosidase activity is provided. A process of obtaining an enzymatic product with ±-glucosidase activity as well as the substantially pure enzyme with ±-glucosidase activity, are also provided. The enzymatic product and the enzyme have a high action spectrum and a high specific activity as positive aspects. Prebiotic oligosaccharides are used in nutrition.
