Inulin is a robust substrate for the preparation of fructooligosaccharides.In the present research, hydrolysis parameters were optimized for the preparation of fructooligosaccharides from inulin using Aspergillus tritici endoinulinase in a batch 117 system.Under optimized hydrolytic conditions viz.inulin concentration 6%, endoinulinase load 50 IU,
The evolution of fiber optic technology in the past few decades has led to significant advancements in various fields, including high-speed and long-distance communication, big data transport, optical imaging, and sensing.However, relatively few studies have examined the use of fiber optic sensors (FOSs) as point and distributed sensors in geophysi
