  • Method of producing palatinose with immobilized alpha-glucosyl transferase
    Patent number: 4386158
    Abstract: Palatinose is produced from sucrose with an immobilized bacteria containing alpha-glucosyl transferase. The bacteria is immobilized by entrapping cells of the bacteria in calcium alginate gel granules and treating the granules with polyethyleneimine and glutaraldehyde.
