Abstract: A process for reducing the monosaccharide and/or disaccharide content in a food material, the process comprising contacting the food material with a glucosyltransferase that comprises an amino acid sequence having at least 95% identity to SEQ ID NO: 1.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a preterm human milk fortifier composition, more specifically to a preterm milk fortifier composition providing 2?-FL and/or LNFP-I in amounts that are missing in human milk of women who gave birth to a preterm infant. In particular the present invention relates to a fortifier composition designed for infants as a supplement to preterm human breast milk at the time the infant leaves the hospital (discharge) and after. The invention furthermore relates to the use of said preterm human milk fortifier composition.

Abstract: This invention relates to an age-tailored nutritional composition system comprising an adaptive level of human milk oligosaccharides (HMOS) and a method for preparing said system. The age-tailored nutritional composition system comprises at least two nutritional compositions for infants of a certain age, which differ from each other in the amount of HMOs present therein. It is specifically adapted to the evolving nutritional needs of infants from their birth to the end of the breast feeding period.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to the protection and repair of connective tissues. In particular, the present invention relates to the use of chondroitin sulfates and its derivatives in connective tissue protection and repair. The present inventors have found that unsaturated disaccharidic chondroitin sulfate can be used for the preparation of a composition to develop, protect and/or repair connective tissues. This allows it for example to treat or prevent osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis, and/or the symptoms thereof as well as to treat or prevent signs of skin ageing such as the appearance of wrinkles effectively.
