摘要

The enrichment of galactooligosaccharides (GOS), synthesized by whole cells of Kluyveromyces marxianus 3551 in a 5.0-L bioreactor, was investigated in this study. The synthesized sugar mixture containing 17.89% (w/w of total carbohydrates) of GOS with 15.57% (w/w of total carbohydrates) of lactose, and 66.54% (w/w of total carbohydrates) monosaccharides as impurities, was subjected to nanofiltration for enrichment of GOS. Three distinct spiral wound membranes, namely, NFPS-01(polysulfone), NFCA-02 (cellulose acetate), and NFPES-03 (polyethersulfone) were tested out of which the NFPES-03 performed the best for fractionation of the GOS mixture. The polyethersulphone membrane (cut-off 400–1000 Da) was evaluated at 30 ℃ and 50 ℃, at different transmembrane pressures or TMP (15, 20, 25 bar) and a combination of high temperature (50 ℃) and low pressure (15 bar) gave the greatest difference in the trisaccharide and disaccharide/monosaccharide rejection percentages, resulting in enrichment of GOS. An analysis of the sugar concentrations in the retentate samples by high-performance liquid chromatography indicated the percentage recovery of GOS in the integrated process to be 88.8%. Measurement of the growth profile of several microbes on the nano-filtered GOS demonstrated its effectiveness as a prebiotic source.
