Abstract

Fructans exist as a wide range of oligo- and polysaccharides in many species of bacteria, fungi, and plants [1]. They are classified into different families on the basis of their glycosidic linkages, consisting of (2→1)-linked β-D-fructofuranosyl units such as inulin, or (2→6)-linked β-D-fructofuranosyl units such as levans, or highly branched structures comprised of both (2→1)- and (2→6)-linked β-D-fructofuranosyl units such as graminans [2,3]. Among which, inulin-type fructans are perhaps by far the most widespread and researched current prebiotics.
