In the field of food additives, several sucrose derivatives have found applications.18 The use of sucrose itself as a food ingredient on account of its sweet taste and its properties as a bulking agent is not detailed here. Some fructooligosaccharides having a DP of 5-10 have been shown to be bifidogenic, and are used as food additives (Scheme 47).227,246 Also, most of the modified... 

Fructans and fructose extracts, which can potentially be obtained from Jerusalem artichoke, have become attractive to industry for a number of food and nonfood applications because of their health benefits (e.g., Fleming and GrootWassink, 1979 Fontana et al., 1993 Fuchs, 1993 Roberfroid, 2005). Short-chain fructooligosaccharides (degree of polymerization of 2 to 5), for example, are increasingly used as low-calorie sweeteners in processed foods, and their utilization is anticipated to expand significantly in the future.
