Abstract
At low concentrations of partially purified fructosyltransferase, only trisaccharide products were detected. At higher enzyme concentrations , larger oligofructans were detected. Depending upon enzyme concentrat ion, the results indicated either sucrose:sucrose fructosyltransferase activity exclusively, or a more complex fructan polymerizing system. Consequences for the interpretation of fructosyltransferase data are d iscussed.
