Abstract From the Canadian patent

An enzymatic method is proposed for the preparation of a fructose-containing oligosaccharide, in which a .beta.-fructofuranosidase obtained by culturing Arthrobacter sp. K-1 (FERM BP-3192) as an enzyme is reacted on sucrose raffinose or stachyose, as the donor in the presence cf an aldose or ketose as the receptor. The enzyme is characterized by: (1) activity on sucrose for the transglycosidation of a fructosyl group to the receptor in the presence of a monosaccharide sugar, alcohol, alkyl alcohol, glycoside or oligosaccharide; (2) activity for the decomposition of sucrose elrose, neokestose, xylsucrose, raf~inose and stachyose with inactivity on a saccharide selected from the group …

Why it's free to use

  • Filed April 19, 1991 and granted March 9, 1999. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended April 19, 2011.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by April 19, 2013.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
