Abstract
A mixture of sucrose, an acid catalyst such as citric acid, and a natural or synthetic polymer such as a polysaccharide, starch or cyclodextrin is heated to generate a fructose oxocarbonium ion and transfer this ion from the sucrose to the polysaccharide, starch or cyclodextrin to form useful and novel fructofuranosyl substituted polysaccharides, starches and cyclodextrins.
