The present invention relates to a method for producing a composition containing isomaltulose from a substrate containing sucrose comprising the steps of: a) contacting the substrate containing sucrose with a particulate carrier-immobilized sucrose isomerase biomass and b) obtaining a composition containing isomaltulose, characterized in that the median particle size d(0.5) of the carrier-immobilized sucrose isomerase biomass is from 370 to 550 μm. The carrier can be an alginate or a polyvinyl alcohol carrier.

The current disclosure provides a process for enzymatically converting a saccharide into allulose. The invention also relates to a process for preparing allulose where the process involves converting fructose 6-phosphate (F6P) to allulose 6-phosphate (A6P), catalyzed by allulose 6-phosphate 3-epimerase (A6PE), and converting the A6P to allulose, catalyzed by allulose 6-phosphate phosphatase (A6PP).
