Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for selective crystallization of 2′-fucosyllactose (2′-FL) from an aqueous solution comprising 2′-FL and one or more other fucosylated carbohydrates by adding acetic acid to the solution. The aqueous solution is separated from an aqueous culture medium prior to crystallization.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of removing residual organic solvent from crystalline oligosaccharides by the use of water vapour as well as the pharmaceutically and nutritionally suitable crystalline oligosaccharides obtained by said method.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for obtaining an N-acetylglucosamine containing neutral oligosaccharide from a fermentation broth, wherein said oligosaccharide is produced by culturing a genetically modified microorganism capable of producing said oligosaccharide from an internalized carbohydrate precursor, comprising the steps of: i) ultrafiltration (UF), preferably to separate biomass from the broth, ii) nanofiltration (NF), preferably to concentrate said oligosaccharide in the broth and/or reduce an inorganic salt content of the broth, and iii) treating the broth with an ion exchange resin, preferably to remove charged materials, and/or subjecting the broth to chromatography, preferably to remove hydrophobic impurities.
Abstract:
An achemo-enzymatic synthesis of oligosaccharides of formula 1 is presented wherein R is selected from —OH, —N 3 and —OR 6 wherein R 6 is selected from allyl optionally substituted by one or more methyl, propargyl optionally substituted by one or more methyl, 2-trimethylsilyl-ethyl, —(CH 2) n —NH 2 and —(CH 2) n —N 3 wherein integer n is to 10, preferably 2 or 3, R is selected from sialyl moiety, —SO 3 H and —CH(R)—COOH wherein R is selected from H, alkyl and benzyl, R 2 is selected from H and fucosyl, R 3 is selected from H and sialyl, R 4 is selected from H and fucosyl, provided that at least one of R 3 and R 4 is H, and A is a divalent carbohydrate linker, having important biological activities and significant commercial value for the pharmaceutical and food industry.
Abstract:
3-O-Fucosyllactose is made by process which includes the hydrogenolysis of a new compound of the formula 1 wherein R1 and R2 are independently a group removable by hydrogenolysis, and R3 is a group removable by hydrogenolysis or H; or a hydrate or solvate thereof.
