    Abstract: The present invention relates to use of an enzyme that cleaves both alpha- and beta-1,4-glycosidic bonds and, more particularly, the present invention provides α-L-fucosidase which has α-1,4-glucosidase and β-1,4-galactosidase activities and thus is capable of producing glucose and/or galactose, which are monosaccharides, from non-fucosylated saccharides. The enzyme has transglycosylation activity and thus produces maltooligosaccharides having a higher degree of polymerization than maltooligosaccharides used as a substrate, thereby being applicable to the development of high-value-added new materials in the food industry.
