Abstract
This invention relates to a beta-fructofuranosidase enzyme food supplement composition, which alleviates gastrointestinal distress caused by ingested food containing oligosaccharides, comprising a beta-fructofuranosidase enzyme, a cellulase enzyme and a hemicellulase enzyme. More particularly, the enzyme food supplement composition of this invention comprises a beta-fructofuranosidase enzyme, a cellulase enzyme, a hemicellulase enzyme, a lipase enzyme and an acid protease enzyme. This invention also relates to a method of alleviating gastrointestinal distress in the gastrointestinal system of a human being, which distress is caused by ingested food containing oligosaccharides, the method comprising the step of ingesting a beta-fructofuranosidase enzyme food supplement composition comprising a beta-fructofuranosidase enzyme, a cellulase enzyme and a hemicellulase enzyme, to convert oligosaccharides contained in the ingested food to reducing sugars. More particularly, the method of alleviating gastrointestinal distress of this invention comprises the step of ingesting an enzyme food supplement composition comprising a beta-fructofuranosidase enzyme, a cellulase enzyme, a hemicellulase enzyme, a lipase enzyme and an acid protease enzyme, to convert oligosaccharides contained in the ingested food to reducing sugars.
