Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for biotechnological production of LNFP-V by using recombinant bacterial cells. LNFP-V is produced by using a polypeptide having an a1,3/4-fucosyl transferase activity and comprising or consisting of an amino acid sequence that has a sequence identity of at least 90 % with amino acid sequence of SEQ ID No. 1 or 3.
Abstract:
The application relates to synthetic compositions and methods for preventing or reducing nociception and/or nociceptive sensitivity in a non-infant human. The human is administered a composition comprising 6'-sialyllactose (6'-SL) and/or lacto-N-tetraose (LNT).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods, compounds and compositions for modulating the microbiota in the gastro-intestinal tracts of humans, particularly for increasing the abundance of Akkermansia in the gut microbiota of humans.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a human milk oligosaccharide (HMO) for use in reducing or preventing fatigue and/or improving focus or concentration on a mental or physical activity in a human. The invention also relates to a synthetic composition for use, comprising one or more of said HMOs. The invention further relates to a method for reducing or preventing fatigue and/or improving focus or concentration on a mental or physical activity by administering at least one HMO and the use of said one or more HMOs in a dietary management of a human.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of removing residual organic solvent from crystalline oligosaccharides by the use of water vapour as well as the pharmaceutically and nutritionally suitable crystalline oligosaccharides obtained by said method.
Abstract:
A mixture of human milk oligosaccharides that comprises or consists essentially of a) LNTri II, LNT, pLNH II and optionally lactose, or b) LNTri II, LNnT, pLNnH and optionally lactose, and is useful for preventing or treating viral or bacterial, intestinal and respiratory infections and for modulating the human gastrointestinal microbiota to increase Bifidobacterium abundance. A process for preparing the mixture and methods of crystallizing LNnT and LNT is also described.
Abstract:
The application relates to synthetic compositions containing one or more human milk oligosaccharides for treating serotonin and/or tryptophan dysregulation.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for obtaining an N-acetylglucosamine containing neutral oligosaccharide from a fermentation broth, wherein said oligosaccharide is produced by culturing a genetically modified microorganism capable of producing said oligosaccharide from an internalized carbohydrate precursor, comprising the steps of: i) ultrafiltration (UF), preferably to separate biomass from the broth, ii) nanofiltration (NF), preferably to concentrate said oligosaccharide in the broth and/or reduce an inorganic salt content of the broth, and iii) treating the broth with an ion exchange resin, preferably to remove charged materials, and/or subjecting the broth to chromatography, preferably to remove hydrophobic impurities.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for separating sialylated oligosaccharides from a fermentation broth in which they are produced by a genetically modified microorganism The separation comprises the steps of: i) ultrafiltration; ii) nanofiltration; iii) optionally, activated charcoal treatment; and iv) treatment with strong anion and/or cation exchange resin.
Abstract:
A synthetic composition for use in treating or improving one or more emotion and/or mood disorders in a patient, characterised in that the composition contains an effective amount of one or more neutral human milk oligosaccharides, is disclosed.
