Abstract
The blue cheese mold, Penicillium roquefortii NRRL 844, was found to p roduce a transfructosylating enzyme that exhibited optimal activity at 50 degrees C in the pH range of 5.0-6.0. The enzyme rapidly catalysed the conversion of sucrose to a syrup containing nearly 60% fructo-oli gosaccharides of the total sugars present.
