ENZYMIC SYNTHESIS OF OLIGOSACCHARIDES FROM SUCROSE AND LACTOSE BY ASPERGILLUS FLAVUS

Abstract

The synthesis of oligosaccharides from sucrose and lactose by the mould Aspergillus .flaitus has been investigated.Two trisaccharides synthesised from sucrose and lactose by the action of the enzyme extract of the mould have been separated in substantially pure form using cellulose and charcoal columns, and their composition and physical characteristics have been studied.
