Phosphoryl oligosaccharides (POs) are a new type of functional oligosaccharide that promote the absorption of calcium. Canna edulis Ker (edible canna) starch contains a small amount of phosphorus and may be a source in the production of POs. Herein, the POs fraction was separated from Canna edulis Ker starch for the first time using enzymatic reactions that produce isomalto‐oligosaccharides (IMOs). Fourier transform infrared (FT‐IR) spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and high‐performance anion exchange chromatography (HPAEC) were used to determine the presence and composition of the isolated POs. The POs that were obtained from Canna edulis Ker starch were mainly composed of phosphoryl maltotriose, maltotetraose, maltopentaose, maltohexaose, and maltoheptaose. These findings provide new insight into the simultaneous production of IMOs and POs from Canna edulis Ker starch by enzymatic reaction.
