In nature, fructans are synthesized from sucrose by various microbial and plant species.
Depending on the source, fructans can contain from two to more than a hundred thousand …

Fructans are linear or branched fructose polymers, which are either P-2.1-linked inulins or/3-
2, 6-linked levans. Fructans are mainly of plant origin, although some fungi and many …

The development of technologies for the production of saccharides from natural resources
by enzymatic transformation is an important subject for the sugar, food, and other industries …

Fructan, a widespread functional polysaccharide, has been used in the food,
pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and material production fields because of its versatile …

Data from plants transformed to accumulate fructan are assessed in the context of natural
concentrations of reserve carbohydrates and natural fluxes of carbon in primary metabolism …

Fructan, a fructose polymer, is produced by many bacteria and plants. Fructan is used as
carbohydrate reserve, and in bacteria also as protective outside layer. Chicory is a …

Fructans are fructose‐based oligo‐and polymers that serve as reserve carbohydrates in
many plant species. The original Edelman and Jefford model for GFn inulin type fructan …

Inulin‐type fructans are stored in the tuberous roots of the Brazilian cerrado plant Viguiera
discolor Baker (Asteraceae). In Cynara scolymus (artichoke) and Echinops ritro (globe …

Fructans, or polyfructosylsucroses, are storage carbohydrates present in many higher plants.
They are also considered healthy food ingredients. Engineering crops into high level …

The recent cloning of genes encoding fructosyltransferases and fructan exohydrolases has
been a major breakthrough in fructan research. Now, fructan metabolism and …
