Hydrolysis of galacto-oligosaccharides in soy molasses by α -galactosidases and invertase from Aspergillus terreus

Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2010
Two α -galactosidase (P1 and P2) and one invertase present in the culture of Aspergillus terreus grown on wheat straw for 168 h at 28ºC were partially purified by gel filtration and hydrophobic interaction chromatographies.

In vitro fermentability of prebiotic oligosaccharides by lactobacilli

Czech Journal of Food Sciences, 2011
Twelve strains of lactobacilli were tested for their growth and ability to utilise six prebiotics (pure substances and commercially available prebiotics) as a sole carbon source. All strains showed a considerable growth on all prebiotics tested.

Inhibitory Effect of Galactooligosaccharide on Skin Pigmentation [PDF]

Preventive Nutrition and Food Science, 2019
To investigate the effects of ingestion of galactooligosaccharide (GOS) on skin pigmentation, we conducted cell experiments and clinical trials. The effect of GOS on melanin accumulation was assessed in vitro using B16F10 cells. Moreover, melanin and erythema indexes following GOS consumption were explored during a double-blind, randomized, and placebo-

Capillary electrophoresis analysis of industrial galactooligosaccharides

Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Analysis, 2023
Galactooligosaccharides are added to infant formula to simulate some of the benefits associated with human milk oligosaccharides, in particular to modulate the gut microbiota. During our study the galactooligosaccharide content of an industrial GOS ingredient was determined by differential enzymatic digestion using amyloglucosidase and β-galactosidase.

Characterization of galactooligosaccharides derived from lactulose [PDF]

Journal of Chromatography A, 2011
Galactooligosaccharides are non-digestible carbohydrates with potential ability to modulate selectively the intestinal microbiota. In this work, a detailed characterization of oligosaccharides obtained by transgalactosylation reactions of the prebiotic lactulose, by using β-galactosidases of different fungal origin (Aspergillus oryzae, Aspergillus ...

Galactooligosaccharides: Novel Components of Designer Foods [PDF]

Journal of Food Science, 2011
Abstract:  Since introduction of functional foods, commercialization of the traditionally used probiotics has ushered in more followers into the new fraternity of sophisticated, health‐conscious consumers. In 1995, this was followed by the first introduction of prebiotics.
