Inulinase is a versatile enzyme used in many fields, especially in food industry, to produce high fructose syrups and Fructo-Oligosaccharides (FOS). In this review study, fungal inulinases were investigated with a particular emphasis on their production, properties and their potential applications in the food industry. The production of inulinases has been reported from various fungal and yeast strains such as Penicillium, Kluyveromyces and Aspergillus sp. Microorganisms are the best sources for inulinases production, as are easy to be cultivated and produce high enzymes yields.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
