Abstract
A Fructan-degrading enzyme was partially purified from onion (Allium cepa)bulbs by a combination of ammonium sufate precipitation, concanavalin-A-Affinity chromatography, and ion-exchange and gel-filtration chromatography. The enzyme hydrolyzed sucrose more effectively than inulin and was identified as a
