A method for modifying galactosyl disaccharides in order to enhance their bifidogenic effect, comprising reacting at least one glycosyl donor with a precursor galactosyl disaccharide or a mixture of precursor galactosyl disaccharides using enzyme catalysis, compounds obtainable by said method and the use of such compounds in consumable products.
Abstract:
The invention relates to providing isolactosamine (Galβ1-3GlcN 2 , formula 1) and salts thereof in the form of either anomer or mixture thereof, as well as hydrates or solvates of the free base and salts thereof. Isolactosamine derivatives of formula 2, the synthesis of isolactosamine by hydrogenolysis of said derivatives and the use of isolactosamine in the synthesis of lacto- N -biose containing oligosaccharides, through the steps of masking the amino group of isolactosamine with a suitable protecting group, protecting the OH-groups, activating the anomeric position to obtain a lacto- N -biosyl donor and coupling the lacto- N- biosyl donor to a desired sugar moiety, are also disclosed.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for preparation of the tetrasaccharide lacto-N-neotetraose (LNnt, formula (I)) especially in large scale, as well as intermediates in the synthesis, a new crystal form (polymorph) of LNnt, and the use thereof in pharmaceutical or nutritional compositions.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for preparation of the trisaccharide 6'-0-sialyllactose (formula (I)) or salts thereof as well as intermediates in the synthesis and for the use of 6'-0-sialyllactose salts in pharmaceutical or nutritional compositions.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a genetically modified microorganism for making an oligosaccharide, preferably of 3-8 monosaccharide units, more preferably of 3-5 monosaccharide units, particularly a HMO, which comprises one or more genes encoding a sucrose utilization system, so the microorganism can use sucrose as a carbon and energy source.
Abstract:
A mixture of human milk oligosaccharides that consists essentially of 3 '-O-sialyllactose, a component A which is either 3-O-fucosyllactose or lacto-N-tetraose, a component B which is 3-0-fucosyl-3 '-O-sialyllactose when component A is 3- O-fucosyllactose and sialyllacto-N-tetraose a, when component A is lacto-N-tetraose and optionally lactose as a fourth component. The mixtures are made by treating 3 '-O-sialyllactose and component A with an α2,3-transsialidase. The mixtures are for use in anti-bacterial and anti-viral compositions, and for promoting the development of Bifidobacterium and Barnesiella.
Abstract:
The present application discloses a method of making a mixture of 2'-FL and DFL in high yield by culturing, with lactose, a genetically modified cell having a recombinant gene that encodes a single fucosyl transferase. The resulting mixture of 2'-FL and DFL can be subjected to hydrolysis initiated by an acid or mediated by a fucosidase to produce fucose in high yields.
