Article Synopsis
- Selected levansucrases (LSs) were studied for their ability to convert lactose and sucrose into lactosucrose and fructooligosaccharides (FOSs) using dairy by-products like whey and milk permeate as lactose sources.
- The research involved four types of LSs from different bacteria, all showing greater ability to catalyze transfructosylation reactions than to hydrolyze, except one strain that performed differently in specific conditions.
- The study found that the V. natriegens LS2 strain produced the most lactosucrose, indicating that LS-catalyzed reactions can effectively leverage abundant biomass for valuable products like lactosucrose and FOSs.
