General description

Human milk and colostrum contain some 200 different HMOs (human milk oligosaccharides). They are formed of combinations of glucose, N-acetylglucosamine, galactose (Gal), fucose (Fuc), and N-acetylneuraminic acid (sialic acid), with a lactose unit at the reducing end. HMOs are of great interest for baby formula production and as potential drug treatments for adult diseases. 3-Fucosyllactose is a neutral HMO. Similarly to other HMOs, 3-fucosyllactose is not digested by humans and acts as a prebiotic, which facilitates the growth of healthy bacteria in the gut.

Prebiotic human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) are found in human milk, which are not digested by infants but are metabolized by beneficial gut bacteria. We determined the ability of 57 bacterial strains within the Family Lactobacillaceae and genera Bifidobacterium and Bacteroides

Human milk oligosaccharides (hMOs) are unique bioactive components in human milk. 3-Fucosyllactose (3-FL) is an abundantly present hMO that can be produced in sufficient amounts to allow application in infant formula. Lacto-N-triaose II (LNT2) can be obtained by acid hydrolysis
Eva M Moya-Gonzálvez et al.
Scientific reports, 11(1), 23328-23328 (2021-12-04)
Much evidence suggests a role for human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) in establishing the infant microbiota in the large intestine, but the response of particular bacteria to individual HMOs is not well known. Here twelve bacterial strains belonging to the genera
