The recombinantly produced trans-sialidase enzyme from Trypanosoma cruzi (TcTS), an enzyme with the ability to transfer (α2-3)-linked sialic acid from sialogalactoglycans to asialogalactoglycans, was employed to catalyze this sialylation. As sialic acid acceptor substrates, Vivinal® GOS and derived fractions of specific degree of polymerization, were taken. As sialic acid donor substrates, bovine κ-casein-derived glycomacropeptide [> 99% N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac); < 1% N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc)] and bovine blood plasma glycoprotein mixture (45% Neu5Ac; 55% Neu5Gc) were selected, yielding potential food and feed products, respectively. High-pH anion-exchange chromatography, matrix-assisted laser-desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry,...

Different types of KGM oligosaccharide mixtures were produced from a KGM polysaccharide using endo-beta-(1,4)-mannanase and endo-beta-(1,4)-glucanase. Distinction of structures emerging from different enzymatic KGM digests and detection of acetylated oligosaccharides were possible by both CE-LIF and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). Using CE-LIF it could be shown that the endo-beta-(1,4)-glucanase digest exhibited a large degradability of the DP2, DP3, DP5, and DP6 components during in vitro fermentation, whereas the endo-beta-(1,4)-mannanase digest was digested only slightly, thereby highlighting the influence of structural characteristics on the fermentability by human gut flora.
