METHOD OF ELEVATING YIELD OF OLIGOSACCHARIDES CONTAINING ALPHA-GALACTOSYL

摘要

A novel method of very efficiently increasing the yield of oligosaccharides containing alpha -galactosyl , compared with the conventional methods, which comprises treating galactose or a galactose-containing material with a specific alpha -galactosidase and thus performing a dehydrocondensation reaction at a high substrate concentration. Anti-candida compositions originating in foods, having a high safety and excellent anti-candida effect and not being restricted in the supply, which contain as the active ingredient oligosaccharides obtained by treating galactose or a galactose-containing material with an alpha -galactosidase and thus performing a dehydrocondensation .
