Abstract
The invention pertains to an in situ process for producing fructooligosaccharides in a food product by contacting the food product with a fructosyltransferase to enzymatically convert sucrose to fructooligosaccharides in the food product. The increase in fructooligosaccharides results in an increase in dietary fiber content of the food product.
