| 摘要 |
A process is described for producing modified inulin having an average chain length of at least 8 monosaccharide units, which is modified by treatment with a reducing agent, such as hydrogen with a transition metal catalyst, sodium borohydride or electrochemically. The reduced inulin can be further modified e.g. by oxidation, carboxyalkylation, hydroxyalkylation or cyanoethylation, or a combined derivatisation. It is suitable as a food ingredient or as a pharmaceutical aid. |
