Abstract: Galacto‐oligosaccharides (GOS) have now been definitely established as prebiotic ingredients after in vitro and animal human vivo studies. Currently, GOS are produced by glycoside hydrolases (GH) using lactose substrate. Converting into GH results mixtures containing of different degrees polymerization (DP), unreacted lactose, monomeric sugars (glucose galactose). Recent future developments the production aim at delivering purer more efficient mixtures. To produce high‐GOS‐content...
