Leucrose formation from sucrose and fructose by dextransucrase is of practical interest. It has been investigated at different experimental conditions, including the influence of temperature on reaction rate and selectivity. Under appropriate conditions high product yield can be obtained. Furthermore, a model is presented that allows interpretation of the experimental data.
