Can the K-FRUC kit be used to detect inulin, fructan, fructooligosaccharides and fructose?

The Megazyme K-FRUC kit can be employed to detect inulin, fructan and fructooligosaccharides. If your sample contains all of these they will be detected as a whole and not individually.


Free fructose would not be measured here as it would be converted to a sugar alcohol after borohydride reduction. 


Please see the following FAQ which details how you can measure free sugars if required:  


Can I use the F-FRUC assay kit to determine inulin plus sugars in my sample separately?
