Abstract:BackgroundFructo‐oligosaccharide (FOS) belongs to the group of short inulin‐type fructans and is one of the most important non‐digestible bifido‐oligosaccharides capable of biotransforming sucrose using fructosyltransferases (FTase). However, there are no immobilized FTase products that can be successfully used industrially. In this study, diatomite was subjected to extrusion, sintering, and granulation to form diatomaceous earth particles that were further modified via chitosan aminomethylation for modificati… Show more
