Properties
Description
Exo-inulinase from Aspergillus niger is responsible for attacking the non-reducing end of inulin molecules to splits off terminal fructose units.
Molecular Weight
58.4 kDa
Unit Definition
One unit of Exo-inulinase activity is defined as the amount of enzyme required to release one µmole of β-D-fructose reducing-sugar equivalents per minute from kestose (5 mg/mL) in sodium acetate buffer (100 mM), at pH 4.5 at 40°C.
Applications
Exo-inulinase from Aspergillus niger can be used to measure fructans and inulins in the diagnostic industry.
