DI AND TRI SACCHARIDES, METHODS OF MAKING THEM AND HAIR GROWTH COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING THEM The preparation of a di or tri saccharide in which at least one glycoside residue bears an acetylamino substituent is catalysed enzymatically using an impure enzyme preparation with N-acetylhexosaminidase activity. The compounds produced, some of which are novel, may be useful to stimulate hair growth.
