INSECT CELL ENZYMES WITH alpha -GALACTOSYLTRANSFERASE ACTIVITY AND THEIR USES

摘要

The invention concerns the use of enzymes derived from insect cells with alpha -galactosyltransferase activity for implementing an enzymatic method for preparing alpha -galactosyl compounds, said method comprising a step which consists in transferring a galactose residue onto a specific substrate galactose terminal residue. The invention also concerns compounds obtained by said method and their uses in food and pharmaceutical compositions.
