“…2) An indigestible -glucan is known to exist in indigestible fractions of chemically and enzymatically processed starch hydrolyzates 3) but few studies using only enzymatic processing have examined the production of indigestible or low-digestible dextrins from starch, despite the wide use of these dextrins in food. 4) We have reported on the putative main structure of a novel highly branched -glucan ( Fig. 1) produced by a crude enzyme from Paenibacillus sp.…”
