Abstract
The invention relates to a method of obtaining a composition comprising allolactose by a applying one or more glucose-deficient lactic acid bacteria strains. The invention also relates to the use of said strains for the preparation of a food product comprising allolactose and to the use of said strains for increasing the content of allolactose in a food product. The invention also relates to a food product comprising allolactose and one or more glucose-deficient lactic acid bacteria strains.
Claims15
A method for producing a composition comprising allolactose, said method comprising:
- (a) inoculating a substrate comprising lactose with one or more glucose-deficient lactic acid bacteria strains, wherein said one or more glucose-deficient strains have a mutation in a glcK gene encoding a glucokinase protein causing the glucose deficiency;
- and
- (b) fermenting said inoculated substrate to obtain a composition comprising allolactose.
A composition comprising at least 0.04% w/w allolactose, wherein said composition further comprises one or more glucose-deficient lactic acid bacteria strains, wherein said one or more glucose-deficient strains have a mutation in a glcK gene encoding a glucokinase protein causing the glucose deficiency.
