NOVEL ENZYME FOR THE PRODUCTION OF PREBIOTIC OLIGOSACCHARIDES

摘要

The invention relates to a method of producing industrially-viable prebiotic oligosaccharides using a novel enzyme of Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous, which is characterised by having a-glucosidase activity. The invention also relates to a method of obtaining an enzymatic product with a-glucosidase activity and the substantially-pure enzyme with a-glucosidase activity. The enzymatic product and the enzyme offer the advantage of having a high performance spectrum and a high specific activity. Said prebiotic oligosaccharaides are used in food.
