Fructosyltransferase is extracted from Rhoduoturula, a strain of yeast found in flowers in the rainforests of Southern Brazil. It is used to catalyse the transformation of sucrose into fructooligosaccharides, which promote the growth of certain probiotics in the human digestive system.
In this paper the authors aim to describe a kinetic mathematical model for how the enzyme works, to help in the design of a fructooligosaccharide production bioreactor.
