Numerous studies have been published that attempted to correlate fructan concentrations
with freezing and drought tolerance. Studies investigating the effect of fructan on liposomes …

Sucrose, one of the most widespread disaccharides in nature, has been available in daily
human life for many centuries. As an abundant and cheap sweetener, sucrose plays an …

The composition of water-soluble carbohydrates from Agave tequilana plants of 2, 4 and 6½
years were compared by HPLC, HPAEC-PAD, MALDI-TOF-MS and GC–MS. The plants of …

Fructan, as reserve carbohydrate, supplies energy needs during vegetative development,
thereby exhibiting variations in its content and composition. Fructan metabolism in Agave …

Over 70% of Agave species,(159 of 206) are found in Mexico and are well adapted to
survive under hot, arid conditions, often in marginal terrain, due to a unique combination of …

The non-saccharolytic yeast Pichia pastoris was engineered to express constitutively the
mature region of sucrose: sucrose 1-fructosyltransferase (1-SST, EC 2.4. 1.99) from Tall …

Main conclusion Biosynthesis of agave fructans occurs in mesontle vacuoles which showed
fluctuations in FAZY activities and synthesized a diverse spectrum of fructooligosaccharide …

Fructosyltransferases (FTs) synthesize fructans, fructose polymers accumulating in
economically important cool-season grasses and cereals. FTs might be crucial for plant …

In contrast to the hydrolysis of reserve carbohydrates in most plant-derived alcoholic
beverage processes carried out with enzymes, agave fructans in tequila production have …

Kestoses, the smallest fructooligosaccharides, are trisaccharides composed of a fructose
molecule and a sucrose molecule linked by either β-(2, 1) or β-(2, 6) linkage. 1-kestose, 6 …
