  • Beta-galactosidase with transgalactosylating activity
    Patent number: 8168414
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a new ?-galactosidase with transgalactosylating activity isolated from Bifidobacterium bifidum. The ?-galactosidase is capable of converting lactose to a mixture of galactooligosaccharides which are ?-linked and unexpectedly produces the ?-linked disaccharide galactobiose. The mixture may be incorporated into numerous food products or animal feeds for improving gut health by promoting the growth of bifidobacteria in the gut, and repressing the growth of the pathogenic microflora.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 27, 2007
    Date of Patent: May 1, 2012
    Assignee: Clasado Inc.
    Inventors: Georgios Tzortzis, Athanasios K Goulas, Theodoros Goulas
  • ?-galactosidase with transgalactosylating activity
    Patent number: 8058047
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a new ?-galactosidase with transgalactosylating activity isolated from Bifidobacterium bifidum. The ?-galactosidase is capable of converting mellibiose to ?-galactobiose disaccharides which may be incorporated into numerous food products or animal feeds for improving gut health by promoting the growth of bifidobacteria in the gut, and repressing the growth of the pathogenic microflora.
