Abstract
Of three β-galactosidases from Aspergillus oryzae, Kluyveromyces lactis and Bacillus sp., used for the production of low-content galacto- oligosaccharides (GOS) from lactose, the latter produced the highest yield of trisaccharides and tetrasaccharides. GOS production was enhanced by mixing β-galactosidase glucose oxidase. The low-content GOS syrups, produced either by β-galactosidase alone or by the mixed enzyme system, were subjected to the fermentation by Kluyveromyces marxianus, whereby glucose, galactose, lactose and other disaccharides were depleted, resulting in up to 97% and 98% on a dry weight basis of high-content GOS with the yields of 31% and 32%, respectively.Keywords
