Safety assessment of β-fructofuranosidase from
β-Fructofuranosidase (β-D-fructofuranoside fructohydrolase; EC 3.2.1.26) is used in the production of fructo-oligosaccharides that are commonly used by the food industry as prebiotics for their purported health benefits. The β-fructofuranosidase discussed herein is obtained from a novel source organ...
