Prebiotic galactooligosaccharides production from lactose and lactulose by Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus CRL450.

Food & Function, 2020
Galactooligosaccharides (GOS) are useful dietary ingredients recognized worldwide as prebiotics. In the present study, we evaluated the β-galactosidase (β-gal) activity of a panel of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in order to select strains for the synthesis

Sustainable Electroisomerization of Lactose into Lactulose and Comparison with the Chemical Isomerization at Equivalent Solution Alkalinity

ACS Omega, 2020
The demand of lactulose production is increasing tremendously because of its bifidogenic (prebiotic) functionality. Therefore, the isomerization of lactose to synthesize lactulose through electroactivation (EA) technology is of great interest nowadays ...

Enzymatic Oxidation of Carbohydrate Byproducts for Use in Formation of Chitosan Hydrogels

ChemBioChem, EarlyView.
Carbohydrates, i.e., xylooligosaccharides derived from corn cobs and lactose derived from dairy byproducts, were selectively oxidized using fungal oxidoreductases AbPDH1 (pyranose dehydrogenase from Agaricus bisporus) and FgrGalOx (galactose oxidase from Fusarium graminearum).
