Cane molasses was demonstrated as a low-cost feedstock for enzymatic production of prebiotic oligosaccharides.
The oligosaccharides showed resistance to enzymatic hydrolysis.
Free d-fructose generated as by-product during acceptor reactions in cane molasses was transformed into d-psicose.
Cane molasses was established as a replacer of synthetic culture medium for dextransucrase enzyme production.
