Abstract
This specification relates to a process for preparing a purified human milk oligosaccharide (“HMO”) from an HMO-containing solution (e.g., a fermentation broth) by a process comprising mixed bed ion exchange, and a product of such a process.
Claims26
A process for preparing a purified human milk oligosaccharide (HMO) from an HMO solution comprising the HMO being purified and at least one non-HMO fermentation-derived component, wherein:
- the process comprises passing the HMO solution through a mixed bed ion exchange vessel comprising a combination of cation ion exchange material with anion ion exchange material,
- the process is carried out in the absence of any ion exchange vessel that comprises cation ion exchange material without also comprising anion ion exchange material, and
- the process is carried out in the absence of any ion exchange vessel that comprises anion ion exchange material without also comprising cation ion exchange material;
- wherein the HMO solution is obtained from a fermentation process;
- and
- wherein the purified human milk oligosaccharide is obtained.
