An additive for low-cariogenic and/or anti-caries food or drinks comprises aldosylfructoside obtained by subjecting a substrate solution containing aldose, and sucrose and/or raffinose to the action of levansucrase (E.C.2.4.1.10). Such an aldosylfructoside can be used in the production of any product which is used orally as well as food and drink in general. The levansucrase may be obtained from Actinomyces viscosus, Aerobacter levanicum, Acetobacter suboxydans, Bacillus licheniformin, Bacillus subtilis, Gluconobacter oxydans Streptococcus mutans or Streptococcus salivalius. The aldose used is preferably D-xylose, L- arabinose, D-galactose, D-mannose, xylobiose, cellobiose, maltose, nomaltose, lactose, kojibiose, laminaribiose, nigerose, xylotriose, cellotriose, maltotriose, isomaltotriose, panose or isopanose or a partial hydrolipate obtained from starch, dextran, pullulan, curdlan, pachyman, elsinan, glucomannan, cellulose or xylan. |
