Abstract: This invention relates to a method for the enzymatic synthesis of oligosaccharides, preferably human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) The method comprises the enzymatic transfer of a glycosyl moiety and subsequent removal of by-products, such as lactose, by nanofiltration using a membrane comprising an active polyamide layer.

Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to compositions and methods for preventing or treating mast cell mediated visceral pain.

Abstract: The application relates to a method for the prophylaxis or treatment of non-infectious diarrhea in a human, the method comprising administering to the human an effective amount of one or more human milk oligosaccharides.

Abstract: A method includes selecting a non-infant patient having an obesity-related metabolic disorder and being diagnosable with one or more of obesity, obesity-induced pre-diabetes, and obesity-induced type 2 diabetes. The method further includes selecting an effective amount of one or more human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) selected from: fucosylated HMOs 2?-fucosyllactose (2?-FL), 3-fucosyllactose (3-FL), lacto-N-fucopentaose I (LNFP-I), and difucosyllactose (DFL); non-fucosylated HMOs lacto-N-tetraose (LNT), lacto-N-neotetraose (LNnT), 3?,6-disialyllacto-N-tetraose (DSLNT), 6?-sialyllactose (6?-SL), and 3?-sialyllactose (3?-SL); and mixtures thereof.

Abstract: The application relates to a method for treating a patient with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), the method comprising administering to the patient one or more neutral human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) selected from 2?-fucosyllactose (2?-FL), 3-fucosyllactose (3-FL), difucosyllactose (DFL), lacto-N-fucopentaose I, lacto-N-tetraose (LNT), lacto-N-neotetraose (LNnT), and combinations thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to crystalline polymorphs of lacto-N-tetraose (LNT) and methods for making the same for use in pharmaceutical compositions, nutritional formulations and food supplements.

Abstract: A human milk oligosaccharide (HMO) or a synthetic composition comprising said HMO, for use in increasing the abundance, particularly the relative abundance, of a Bifidobacterium of the B. adolescentis phylogenic group in the microbiota in the gastro-intestinal tract of a human, preferably a non-infant human. The HMO(s) and/or synthetic composition is useful in; increasing particularly the relative abundance of B. adolescentis and/or B. pseudocatenulatum; for treating or preventing in said non-infant human with type 2 diabetes and/or obesity; an enteropathogenic infection; impaired gut barrier function and/or; an inflammation related to gastro¬intestinal condition, preferably irritable bowel disease (IBD) or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS); as a nutritional composition. The HMO is a fucosylated neutral HMO, a non-fucosylated neutral HMO, or a mixture of a fucosylated and a non-fucosylated neutral HMO.
