Product Introduction
Inulinase is an enzyme that plays a critical role in the breakdown of inulin, a type of carbohydrate known as a fructan. This enzyme can convert inulin to its constituent monosaccharides, primarily fructose and glucose. It is derived from various microbial sources and is increasingly used in various industries, primarily food production.
Production Process
Inulinase is produced through fermentation processes using specific microorganisms. These microorganisms are cultivated in controlled environments to optimize enzyme yield. After fermentation, the enzyme is purified through several biochemical methods, including filtration and chromatography. The final product is concentrated and formulated for specific applications.
Effects and Functions
Inulinase effectively cleaves inulin into simpler sugars, making them more digestible and useful for various applications. This enzymatic process leads to increased sweetness in food products while enhancing the overall flavor profile. Additionally, the hydrolysis of inulin can improve the solubility and stability of sugar solutions.
Application Scenarios
Inulinase is significantly used in the food industry for producing high-fructose syrups. It is also applied in the dietary supplement sector to create products rich in fructose for energy. The pharmaceutical industry utilizes inulinase for developing formulations that require specific sugar types as excipients or carriers.
