Abstract

A mixture of oligosaccharides produced by β-galactosidase using lactose as a substrate was fractionated according to degree of polymerization using gel filtration, followed by high-pH anion-exchange chromatography. The fractions obtained were analyzed using monosaccharide analysis, methylation analysis, mass spectrometry, and NMR spectroscopy. Twelve novel non-reducing oligosaccharides were characterized, namely, [β-D-Galp-(1→4)](n)-α-D-Glcp-(1⇆1)-β-D-Galp[-(4←1)-β-D-Galp](m), with n, m=(1, 2, 3, or 4) and β-D-Galp-(1→2)-α-D-Glcp-(1⇆1)-β-D-Galp.
