Human milk is an example of this and contains oligosaccharides, known as human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), which are derived from lactose. [21] [22] These oligosaccharides have biological function in the development of the gut flora of infants. Examples include lacto-N-tetraose, lacto-N-neotetraose, and lacto-N-fucopentaose.
Inulin can be degraded enzymatically or chemically to a mixture of oligosaccharides with the general structure Glu–Fru n (abbrev. GF n ) and Fru m (F m ), with n and m ranging from 1 to 7. This process also occurs to some extent in nature, and these oligosaccharides may be found in a large number of plants, especially in Jerusalem artichoke ...

Studies with infants and adults have shown that foods or drinks enriched with galactooligosaccharides result in a significant increase in Bifidobacteria. [1] These sugars can be found naturally in human milk, known as human milk oligosaccharides. [5] Examples include lacto-N-tetraose, lacto-N-neotetraose, and lacto-N-fucopentaose. [6]
In 2002, over 50% of the FOSHU foods in Japan incorporated oligosaccharides as the functional component. [23] [24] The list includes many types of foods: soft drinks and other beverages, frozen yogurt, confectionery products, sweeteners, cookies, coffee drink mixes, bread, tofu, chocolate, and soup mixes. IMO has been imported into the United ...
These oligosaccharides pass undigested through the stomach and small intestine. In the large intestine, they are fermented by bacteria that do possess the α-GAL enzyme and make short-chain fatty acids (SCFA)(acetic, propionic, butyric acids), as well as the flatulence commonly associated with eating beans and other vegetables. These SCFAs have ...
Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), also known as human milk glycans, are short polymers of simple sugars that can be found in high concentrations in human breast milk. [1] Human milk oligosaccharides promote the development of the immune system, can reduce the risk of pathogen infections and improve brain development and cognition. [ 1 ]
Structural formula of inulins, linear fructans with a terminal α-D-glucose with 1→2 linkage. A fructan is a polymer of fructose molecules. Fructans with a short chain length are known as fructooligosaccharides.
