commonly in plants,
fungi and bacteria, also
hydrolyzes sucrose (and
other fructosides) but by a
different mechanism: it is a fructosidase,
whereas sucrase...

Fructosyltransferases are most
active in
forming sucrose-derived
fructosides and fructans. The
formation of
fructosides via
fructosyltransferases can lead to
drastic changes...

sugar composed of
glucose and
fructose subunits. It is
produced naturally in
plants and is the main
constituent of white...
