Can the K-FRUC assay kit be used to detect inulin only?

Modified on Tue, 10 Aug, 2021 at 10:22 AM

K-FRUC traditionally only measured inulin and branched fructans and gave little measurement of levan type fructans.

Recently, we have included a levanase enzyme into the fructanase mixture, so the method now measures levans as well. Levans are produced by some micro-organisms and are present in temperate grasses.
