Pectic oligosaccharides (POS) have been indicated as novel candidate prebiotics. Traditionally, POS are produced from pectin-rich by-products using a two-step process involving extraction of the pectin, followed by its hydrolysis into POS. A one-step approach, in which the POS is directly produced from the raw material, might provide a more efficient alternative. Thus, the main aim of this paper was to investigate a one-step enzymatic hydrolysis approach to directly produce POS from sugar beet p ...[more]
