Abstract:Oligofructans are potential biological substances that due to their distinctive properties have a positive health-promoting effect. This research aimed to produce oligofructans using sugarcane juice fermentation with Bacillus subtilis TISTR 001 and to study the prebiotic properties in vitro. The results showed that the maximum total oligofructans in the form of free fructose was 2.57% (w/v) at the 84th hour of fermentation with 0.17 g/g reducing sugar and a production yield of 0.031 g/L/h and maximum levansucr… Show more
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.
