Different substrates and different concentrations of enzyme (Maxilact LX 5000) for galacto-oligosaccharides synthesis were tested. Lactose in phosphate buffer (138 mmol/l), ultrafiltration permeate (115 mmol/l), recombined whey (136 mmol/l) were used as substrates. Concentrations of used enzyme were from 0.15 to 15 U/ml for lactose in buffer, from 0.12 U/ml to 1.5 U/ml for ultrafiltration permeate and 1.5 U/ml for recombined whey. Reaction products were analysed by HPLC. There was obtained 6.4 ± 0.4 mmol/l of galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) for lactose in buffer, it means that 0.0633 ± 0.0025 g/g of lactose was converted to GOS. The conversions of lactose to GOS for recombined whey and ultrafiltration permeate were 0.0669 ± 0.0079 and 0.0920 ± 0.0010 g/g. There was obtained 7.3 ± 0.1 mmol/l of GOS for ultrafiltration permeate and for recombined whey 5.9 ± 0.1 mmol/l of GOS.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
