Modification of polysaccharides

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing modified polysaccharides comprising of placing the polysaccharide in contact with a sugar group-transferring enzyme and a sugar group donor. The placing of the polysaccharide in contact with a sugar group-transferring enzyme and a sugar group donor can be effected in vivo as well as in vitro. The result of the method is modified polysaccharides which can be used for different food and non-food applications.
