3.6. Hydrolysis products of inulin
The paper chromatogram procedure employed to characterize the mode of action of the enzyme produced by the marinederived fungus A. terreus and particularly, if it is of the endo- or exotype. Analysis of the products of inulin hydrolysis after 15 min, showed the presence of fructose (Fig. 5). Release of fructose as an end product of inulin hydrolysis states that inulinase of A. tniger hydrolyse inulin through an exotype reaction producing fructose. Fructose is an
