Abstract:
1. An oligosaccharide mixture on the basis of oligosaccharides obtained from at least one animal milk and which oligosaccharides are composed of two or more monosaccharide units, wherein said oligosaccharide mixture contains: at least two oligosaccharide fractions made up of at least two different oligosaccharides wherein, the total spectrum of the oligosaccharides present in the oligosaccharide mixture differs from that of the animal milk or animal milks from which the oligosaccharide fractions are obtained, and that a) if the oligosaccharides are obtained from only one animal milk, the ratio of neutral oligosaccharides to acidic oligosaccharides is 90-60:10-40% by weight, or b) if the oligosaccharides are obtained from at least two animal milks, the oligosaccharides obtained from two different animal milks each amount to at least 10% by weight of the oligosaccharides present in toto in the oligosaccharide mixture, and the ratio of neutral oligosaccharides to acidic oligosaccharides is 90-60:10-40% by weight, with the proviso that free lactose is not included in the ratios in a) and b).
