PURPOSE:To separate pure fructo-oligosaccharide useful as a raw material of a non-calorific food and an agent for the promotion of the proliferation of intestinal bifidus bacteria, in high yield, by treating a sugar composition with alpha- glucosidase, thereby selectively decomposing sucrose. CONSTITUTION:A sugar composition containing monosaccharides, sucrose, and fructo-oligosaccharide is treated with alpha-glucosidase. Only the sucrose is decomposed to monosaccharides and removed from the system by this treatment, and purified fructo-oligosaccharide can be obtained. |
