Abstract:
Methods are disclosed for the enzymatic preparation of galactooligosaccharide (GOS) from lactose using two different microbial lactase enzymes to maximize the extent of transgalactosylation during the digestion of lactose. Methods are also disclosed for avoiding the turbidity of a solution comprising GOS and lactose as it is adjusted for incubation with a yeast neutral lactase.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of producing galactooligosaccharide (GOS) from lactose, the method comprising:\n incubating an initial aqueous mixture comprising lactose at an initial concentration with an acid lactase to produce an intermediate aqueous mixture comprising lactose and GOS in which the concentration of lactose is about 30% to about 70% of the initial concentration of the initial aqueous mixture; adding a neutral lactase to the intermediate aqueous mixture; and incubating the intermediate aqueous mixture comprising the neutral lactase to produce a final aqueous mixture in which the concentration of lactose is about 20% or less of the initial concentration of the initial aqueous mixture.
