Abstract

In-situ synthesis technique by enzyme can convert food materials into high-value functional products during food processing.This study investigated in-situ synthesis of fructo-oligosaccharides (fructo-oligosaccharides, FOS) in yogurt using an Aspergillus niger-derived fructosyltransferase (fructosyltransferase from Aspergillus niger, AnFTase70) and evaluated its impact on yogurt quality.Application conditions for AnFTase70 were optimized via single-factor experiments.Effects of sucrose amount (0-125 g/L) on carbohydrate composition, sensory properties, texture, and microstructure were analyzed.Probiotic activity of the yogurt was assessed using in pure cultures.Yogurt quality was monitored during storage.Results demonstrated that AnFTase70 synthesized 1-kestose and nystose from sucrose during yogurt processing.At 125 g/L sucrose amount, 49.7 g/L FOS content was produced by 10 U/mL AnFTase70 (45 ℃, 1 h) achieved.This formulation yielded the highest sensory score, with cohesiveness and chewiness significantly higher than those of control.Scanning electron microscopy revealed denser yogurt networks as FOS accumulated with higher sucrose levels.Compared with control yogurt, in-situ yogurt can significantly promote the proliferation of Lactobacillus acidophilus B-4495, Bifidobacterium bifidum B-41410 and Bifidobacterium animalis BB-12 in vitro pure culture.During yogurt storage, pH and acidity remained stable, and viable bacterial counts and water-holding capacity increased by 35% and 24%, respectively.These findings provide theoretical and practical insights for applying fructosyltransferases in sugar-reduced, prebiotic-enriched dairy products.
