Anima Mathur and Deepti Sadana*
ABSTRACT
Inulinases form an important class of enzyme that is used in many industries to produce fructose syrup and fructo-oligosaccharides mainly in food industry. Inulinases production has been explained from different yeast, bacterial and fungal strains such as kluyveromyces, Arthrobacter and Aspergillus sp. In this review article, the production, properties and applications of inulinases in the food industry has been emphasized. Microbes are the excellent sources for the production of inulinases, as they are easily cultivated and generate high yields of enzymes.
Keywords: Microbes, Food industry, Inulinases, Fructose, Fructo- Oligosaccharides.
