Disaccharides and Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) Production by Wild Yeasts Isolated from Agave [PDF]

Foods
Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) are short fructans with different degrees of polymerization (DP) and bonds in their structure, generated by the distinct activities of fructosyltransferase enzymes, which produce distinct types of links.

Metabolome and Transcriptome Profiling of Chicory Roots Provide Insights Into Laticifer Development and Specialized Metabolism [PDF]

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT Chicory roots produce inulin, a dietary fiber, as well as large quantities of bitter sesquiterpene lactones (STLs), which have valuable biological activities. In an effort to understand the compartmentalization of metabolism within chicory roots and the molecular basis of the development of laticifers that produce the chicory latex, we ...
