Inulin type fructan was detected in all vegetative organs of Campanula rapunculoides L. plants. |
Epidermal cells contained low concentrations of sucrose, glucose and fructose, and no fructan. |
Genetic technologists in Holland have engineered the sugar beet to produce fructan, a low-calorie sugar alternative, instead of sucrose. |
Nutrient digestibilities, microbial populations, and protein catabolites as affected by fructan supplementation of dog diets. |
During the past decade, industrial fructan production has increased from 1 kiloton to 100 kilotons annually. |
The scientists engineered the plants to express the SacB gene, which codes for fructan production in the bacterium Bacillus subtilis. |
