Fructoside Explained

Fructosides are glycosides where the glycone group is fructose.^[1]

Fructosyl transferases

In enzymology, enzymes that add a fructose group to a molecule are called fructosyl-transferases, beta-D-fructofuranosyl transferases or fructotranferases. Examples are:

• aldose beta-D-fructosyltransferase
  • 6G-fructosyltransferase
• Inulin fructotransferase (DFA-I-forming)
• Inulin fructotransferase (DFA-III-forming)
• Levan fructotransferase (DFA-IV-forming)
• Levansucrase
