Description
METHOD FOR PRODUCING PRODUCTS CONTAINING GALAC- TOOLIGOSACCHARIDES AND USE THEREOF
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method for producing galactooli- gosaccharides-containing milk-based products that as a part of a regular diet has beneficial physiological functional effects such as laxative or bifidogenic effect, and hence is capable of enhancing colon health and improving gastrointestinal conditions. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method for producing a milk-based product containing fructo-galactooligosaccharides. The invention further relates to a use of a milk-based product obtained by the method of the invention, having laxative or bifidogenic effect, as such or as prebiotic ingredient for use in the preparation of functional food products.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Prebiotic oligosaccharides are usually defined as glycosides that contain three to ten sugar moieties (sugar residues). However, many disaccha- rides possess similar functional properties to those of higher sugars, and are often major components of food-grade oligosaccharide products. In general, prebiotic oligosaccharides are hydrolysed or non-hydrolysed carbohydrates comprising sugar residues interconnected via beta 1-1 , 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 1-6 and/or alpha 1-6 linkages. Most preferably, such oligosaccharides contain 2-10 sugar residues in the saccharide backbone.
Conventionally galactooligosaccharides are defined as di- to octa- saccharides composed of 1-7 galactose moieties linked to a glucose molecule at the reducing end of glucose. Galactooligosaccharides can be typically expressed by the formula GaI-(GaI)n-GIc wherein GaI denotes a galactose residue, GIc, a glucose residue, and n, an integer of 0 to 7. Even transgalactosy- lated disaccharides containing galactose and glucose formed from lactose, with different β-glycoside bonds, are considered dietary fibre because they have physiological characteristics similar to those of higher galactooligosaccharides.
Nomenclature of Carbohydrates by International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) recommends that oligosaccharides are called dk saccharides, trisaccharides etc. according to the number of the monosaccha- ride units joined to each other by glycosidic linkages. Further, the borderline
between polysaccharides and oligosaccharides cannot be drawn strictly. The term 'oligosaccharide' is commonly used to refer to a defined structure of a sugar molecule, whereas 'polysaccharide' denotes a polymer of unspecified length or a homologous mixture. The prebiotic bifidogenic effects of galactooligosaccharides or mixtures of galactooligosaccharides and fructo-oligosaccharides on the colonic microbiota are well known, and galactooligosaccharides are therefore considered advantageous to human health. Furthermore, EP 1597978 proposes several advantageous physiological effects for compositions comprising synergis- tically active amounts of polyfructose and galactooligosaccharides mixtures.
Uses generally reported for galactooligosaccharides are calcium absorption in gut, infant formulae, drinks, bread, and beverages for curing constipation. The main physiologically functional effects of oligosaccharides are considered to be low calorie, prevention of tooth decay, intestinal control by enhancement of bifidobacteria and dietary fibre-like effects. It is generally known that carbohydrates with low sugar residues are fermented easily and at relatively uniform rate. Part of the mixture will not be fermented and passes to subsequent parts of the intestine, where it will contribute to the stool bulk and will not increase substantially the viscosity of the faeces. Conventionally, food-grade oligosaccharides are manufactured using enzymatic processes (by enzymatic synthesis) from simple sugars by transglucosylation reactions. Galactooligosaccharides, such as Oligomate and TOS-100 (Yakult Honsha, Japan), Cup-Oligo (Nissin Sugar Manufacturing Company, Japan), P7L (Snow Brand Milk Products, Japan), TOS-Syrup (Bor- culo Whey Products, The Netherlands, Borculo Domo Ingredients/Friesland) and others are produced commercially from lactose using the galactosyltrans- ferase activity of β-galactosidase (lactase) (EC 3.2.1.23). β-galactosidase catalyzes both hydrolysis of lactose and transgalactosylation reactions.
It is commonly known to obtain a sugar mixture containing oligo- saccharides of high purity with a small amount of unreacted lactose. At high lactose concentrations, the transgalactosylation reaction predominates, and lactose is converted to galactooligosaccharides by the action of β-galactosidase. Generally, the main products are trisaccharides, namely 4'-galactosyl- lactose or θ'-galactosyllactose with a substantial amount of transgalactosylated disaccharides.
Commercially available galactooligosaccharides are generally mixtures of lactose, glucose, galactose, constituting usually more than 55% on the dry matter of the oligosaccharides. The components in the final products and the efficiency of transgalactosylation highly depend on the enzymes and spe- cific conditions used in the reaction, such as pH, temperature and quantity of enzyme.
Conventional enzymic production of oligosaccharides has been largely studied and described in the background art, one particular point of interest being a production of oligosaccharides from lactose as described in EP 266177 B1. In this document, oligosaccharides are produced by reacting lactose with β-galactosidase from Aspergillus oryzae at a lactose concentration in the reaction mixture of 50 to 90 weight%, and at a reaction temperature within a range from 55°C to a temperature lower than the inactivation temperature of β-galactosidase. According to the publication, a product containing high-purity oligosaccharides is obtained with small amounts of unreacted lactose and by produced monosaccharides.
EP 0263700 B2 discloses a method for producing oligosaccharides to obtain a sweet saccharide mixture providing sweetness and add oligosaccharides to food and drinks with a lower increase in calories than that of con- ventional additives. In a two-step process disclosed in the publication, a lactose solution or lactose-containing substance having a lactose concentration of 10 to 50 weight% is treated with at least two kinds of β-galactosidases produced by different microorganisms.
EP 0323201 B1 describes a method for producing a processed milk containing galactooligosaccharides. β-galactosidase from Streptococcus ther- mophilυs or Lactobacillus bulgaricus catalysed conversion of at least 15% of the lactose originally contained in the animal milk into galactooligosaccharides.
EP 0458358 B1 discloses a process for producing skim milk powder containing 10-15% by weight of galactooligosaccharide. The process com- prises the steps of concentrating skim milk to obtain concentrated milk with a solid content of 20-50% by weight, adding β-galactosidase (0.1-200 units/ml, 20-500C), heating the resulting reaction mixture 30 seconds to 15 minutes to a temperature of 70-850C and spray-drying. No significant viscosity increase of the reaction mixture is reported.
US Patent 4873229 describes a production of a powder having a galactooligosaccharide content of 20 to 50% by weight. The powder is to be used in a stock feed containing from 0.1 to 2% of galactooligosaccharides.
Moreover, there are publications relating to optimisation of a lactu- lose production, with a special aim to increase the proportion of lactulose in respect to other oligosaccharides and sugars produced in the lactulose production. Lactulose is widely used in the food and pharmaceutical fields, having a bifidogenic effect and prebiotic character. Lactulose is a disaccharide which can be obtained by enzymatic transgalactosylation from lactose to fructose by chemical synthesis. Furthermore, oligosaccharides such as lactulose are produced in small amounts during heat treatment (UHT) of milk. An optimal ratio of lactose to fructose can increase relative lactulose yield. Further, also other oligosaccharides than lactulose are formed in conventional lactulose production processes. However, due to the low yield of lactulose and extensive side reactions in the production of lactulose, the separation and purification of lactulose is complex. A production of lactulose has been described, e.g., by Vaheri and Kauppinen in Acta Pharm. Fenn. 1978, 87: 75-83, where lactulose has been enzymically produced from lactose using fructose as an acceptor. A maximum lactulose concentration of 25 mmol/L (8% of initial lactose conceπ- tration) is reported.
Further, Lee et al. in Appl. Microbiol. Biotechnol. 2004, 64: 787-793 investigated a lactulose production from lactose and fructose with several commercial β-galactosidases, with the highest productivity obtained with an enzyme from permeabilized Kluyveromyces lactis cells. With 40% (w/v) of lac- tose and 20% (w/v) of fructose, approximately 20 g/L of lactulose was produced in 3 hours at 600C and pH 7.0. It was shown that high lactose concentrations and high temperatures are preferable for lactulose synthesis. The highest lactulose concentration of 42 mmol/L (4% of an initial lactose concentration) was obtained. Mayer et al. reported in J. Agric. Food Chem. 2004, 52:6983-6990 that a lactulose yield of 46 mmol/L (44% relative to lactose) was obtained with the hyperthermostable β-glucosidase from Pyrococcus furiosus. Lactulose was shown to be the major transglycosylation disaccharide. Less than 5% of other oligosaccharides were detected. Major problems associated with the use of the conventional galactooligosaccharides are abdominal adverse effects such as flatulence, abdomi-
nal pain and bloating. Earlier findings with gafactooligosaccharides indicate that functional high value-added products and applications with fructo- galactooligosaccharides would be very welcome as a part of a regular/common diet. Such functional, prebiotic-containing products are nowadays providing an attractive alternative to the consumers. Furthermore, efficient producing methods to assure products without added sugar are valuable.
Thus, there is a special need for a novel, economic, inexpensive and efficient total process for direct natural production of food products and ingredients containing prebiotic galactooligosaccharides comprising fructo-galac- tooligosaccharides with therapeutic value.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a method for directly producing a mixture of galactooligosaccharides containing fructo-galactooligosaccharides into a milk-based product that as a part of a re- gular diet has beneficial physiological functional effects such as laxative or bi- fidogenic effect, and hence is capable of enhancing colon health and improving gastrointestinal conditions.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a method for an economic, inexpensive and efficient production of galactooligosaccharides containing fructo-galactooligosaccharides, in a processed mifk product such as yoghurt, curdled milk, curd, sour milk, "viili", buttermilk and other sour milk products. According to the invention other edibfe products such as milk, flavoured milk, beverages, ice-cream etc. are available. In accordance with the present invention, products are also applicable as capsules, pills or tablets that allow the use as convenient part or supplement, for example, of the every-day diet.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a milk-based product as such, having laxative or bifidogenic effect, or as prebiotic ingredient for use in the preparation of functional food products.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is directed to a method for producing a milk- based product containing a mixture of galactooligosaccharides which are represented by the general formula of (GaI)n-X, where x is a fructose, glucose or" galactose residue, and n is 1-8, comprising the following steps:
a) adding fructose and optionally lactose to a milk-based raw material to obtain a mixture, b) treating the mixture with a β-galactosidase to obtain a reaction mixture, c) terminating an enzymatic reaction of the reaction mixture.
In the present invention, "milk-based product" means any liquid or semi-solid milk-based product having a varing fat content. The milk-based product can be, e.g., cow's milk, goat's milk, sheep's milk, skimmed milk, whole milk, milk recombined from powdered milk, and whey without any proc- essing, or a processed milk, yoghurt, curdled milk, curd, sour milk, "viili", buttermilk and other sour milk products.
In the context of the present invention, the term "galactooligosac- charides" will be used hereinafter to mean a mixture of galactooligosacchari- des (abbreviation GOS) represented by the general formula of (GaI)n-X, where x is a fructose, glucose or galactose residue, and n is 1 -8, unless otherwise specified. It is to be understood that fructo-galactooligosaccharides are represented by said formula, when x is fructose.
The concept "food products" is intended to cover all consumable products that can be solid, jellied or liquid form, and to cover both ready-made products and products to which the galactooligosaccharide-containing milk- based product (concentrate or powder) of the invention is added during consumption as an additive or a prebiotic ingredient or part of the product. Food products can for instance be products of dairy industry and beverage industry. Typical products include milk products, such as yoghurt, curdled milk, curd, sour milk, sour whole milk, butter milk, other sour milk products, filling of snack bars, etc. Another important group includes milk beverages, such as whey beverages, fermented milks, condensed milks, infant or baby milks; ice-cream; milk-containing food such as sweets, and other types of products such as animal feed. The method of the present invention is based on a finding that β- galactosidases are capable of converting lactose to oligosaccharides. Without binding to any theory, reactions caused in the β-gaiactosidase treatment in the method of the invention are hydrolytrc reactions of lactose into glucose and galactose, and β-galactosyt transfer reaction to various galactooligosaccharides in the presence of fructose and lactose. The components in the final products highly vary depending on the factors such as quality and quantity of β-
galactosidase enzymes, and specific conditions used in the process, such as pH, temperature. It is desirable that the reaction is performed under a condition which provides a highest yield of fructo-galactooligosaccharides in the galac- toolϊgosaccharide mixture. However, the optimum conditions for an economic, inexpensive and efficient production process of fructo-galactooligosaccharides vary depending on the factors such as the quality of β-galactosidase and composition of the raw milk. In particular, lactose content of the raw milk and the ratio of lactose to fructose are important factors for an effective total process for producing a mixture of galactooligosaccharides containing an essential amount of fructo-galactooligosaccharides.
It is well known that β-galactosidases can be produced by a variety of molds, bacteria or yeasts. In the method of the present invention, any β- galactosidase known in the art can be used. Examples of suitable sources of microorganisms producing β-galactosidase are disclosed, for example, in EP 0263700 A2. Especially, commercial β-galactosidase preparations originating from bacteria {Eschericia coli, Bacillus sp), yeast (Candida pseudotropi- calis, Kiuyveromyces lactis, Kluyveromyces marxianus) or mold {Aspergillus niger, A. oryzae) can be used. Preferably, β-galactosidase produced by yeast Kiuyveromyces lactis is used for the production of galactooligosaccharides in fermented milk products, such as yoghurt.
An amount of the β-galactosidase is not specifically limited. Amounts in a range of 12000-30000 ONPG-units/L of β-galactosidase produced by Kiuyveromyces lactis (GODO-YNL2, Godo Shusei Company Limited, Japan), for example, are suitable in the present invention. The method of the present invention can be executed on milk having an ordinary content of lactose, i.e. approximately 4.8% (w/v). However, it is also possible to add lactose to a raw milk to be treated with β-galactosidase from an outer source. Added lactose to be used in the method can be edible- grade lactose such as lactose-containing whey powder, permeate, etc. Needless to say, it is desirable that the reaction with a β-galactosidase is executed under such a condition as to provide a high yield of galac- tooligo-saccharides in a milk-based product. Preferably, it is desired that a mixture of galactooligosaccharides is obtained comprising a substantial amount of fructo-galactooligosaccharides. In the present invention, initial weight ratio of lactose to fructose is about 0.1-5, Preferably, for the production of yoghurt containing galactooligosaccharides, the initial weight ratio of lactose to fructose
is about 1.2-1.5, and more preferably 1.30-1.38 (example 1). The respective ratio for the production of prebiotic ingredient, such as sweetened condensed miik (example 4) or sweet skimmed milk powder (example 5) containing galac- tooligosaccharides, is about 0.95-1.5, and more preferably 1.25-1.4. As is usual in the preparation of conventional milk-based products, conventional heat treatment methods are also used for the milk-based products produced in the present invention, such as pasteurization (for example 72°C, 15 s), ESL (for example 1300C, 1-2 s), UHT (for example 138°C, 2-4 s) or high temperature pasteurization (95°C, 5 min). An example of heat treat- ment to be used in the method according to the present invention is high temperature pasteurization at 94°C for 4 min with production of yoghurt containing galactooligosaccharides (example 1).
The method of the invention is preferably performed in fermented milk products, like yoghurts. The process/fermentation conditions (starters, temperature, pH, time etc.) for the production of fermented milk products or prebiotic ingredients are selected to meet the requirements of the final product and a starter used in the method so as to form a sufficient amount of galactooligosaccharides to produce the desired effect. The selection of suitable conditions belongs to the knowledge of a person skilled in the art. Conventionally, fermentation for yoghurt production is carried out at about 200C to 45DC. The fermentation is allowed to continue until the pH is 4.2 to 4.6. In case of fermented milk products, fermentation normally takes from 2 to 7 hours with yoghurts, up to 24 hours with sour cream.
As stated above, it is desirable that the reaction with a β-galacto- sidase is executed under such a condition as to provide a high yield of galactooligosaccharides in a milk-based product. For this purpose, it is necessary that an enzymatic activity of β-galactosidase used is completely lost and thus, an enzymatic reaction completely terminated after an appropriate reaction time in order to not to cause an adverse reaction of galactooligosaccharides into monosaccharides. The enzymatic reaction of the reaction mixture can be terminated by heating the mixture, for example, to a temperature of 85°C for 60 seconds. On the other hand, the enzymatic reaction can also be terminated by an adjustement of pH to a range of inactivation pH of β-galactosidase. Inactiva- tion of an enzyme can be accomplished by way of an active action, or by self- inactivation. Specifically, in the preparation of fermented milk products, β- galactosidase reacts during the fermentation as long as the pH of mixture is
within the favourable activity and stability range of the enzyme used. For example, β-galactosidase produced by yeast Kluyveromyces lactis (GODO- YNL2, Godo Shusei Company Ltd, Japan) reacts during the yoghurt fermentation as long as the pH of the mixture is above inactivatron pH 5.5 (example 1 ). The yoghurt product prepared as described in example 1 of this publication and containing galactooligosaccharides has been found to be extremely suitable for a purpose of the invention. As demonstrated in example 3, in a clinical trial (N = 41) with elderly subjects suffering from moderate constipation, defecation was significantly easier during a period of an intake of galac- toolrgosaccharides-containing yoghurt (1O g GOS/day) compared to the placebo yoghurt containing no galactooligosaccharides (p = 0.025) (p indicates a statistical value). The bowel frequency also slightly increased (p = 0.084), while the transit time seemed to become shorter with the galactooligosaccha- rides-containing yoghurt (3.1 days vs. 3.4 days; p = 0.39). Results are in ac- cordance with earlier clinical studies with conventional galactooligosaccharides; see for example Teuri et al., J. Nutr Sci Vitaminol 1998: 44, 465-471 ; Teu- ri and Korpela, Ann Nutr Metab 1998, 42: 319-327; Sairanen et al. Eur. J. Nutr, 5 October 2005; Deguchi et al., Jpn J. Nutr. 1997, 55:13-22; Shitara Med Biol. 1988, 177: 371-373. However, major problems associated with use of the con- ventional galactooligosaccharides were now surprisingly avoided, with hardly any abdominal adverse effects such as flatulence, abdominal pain and bloating.
Thus, the present invention is also directed to a use of the milk- based products produced by the method of the present invention, having laxa- tive or bifidogenic effects, as such or as a prebiotic ingredient in the preparation of functional food products.
As stated above, the milk-based products described above can be used as such to achieve the desired effect. Said products can also be concentrated and use as prebiotic ingredients. Further, the products can also be dried and use in the form of powder or lyophilisate. The products can also be preferably used in the preparation of functional food products, health and wellness edible products, or other corresponding products. Possible forms are capsules, pills or tablets, for example, manufactured in conventional processes used in the preparation of pharmaceutical products. According to the invention, the milk-based product containing galactooligosaccharides is used in a sufficient amount to achieve the desired effect.
When using the product obtained by method described in example 1 , the amount to use varies within a wide range. It may be from 2 to 20 g in daily dose, being preferably approximately 5 to 12 g per day.
Prebiotic ingredients, concentrate, or powder of the milk-based products of the invention containing galactooligosaccharides can be added to a food product during its preparation or to a finished food product. The food products in question thus contain the desired galactooligosaccharides. Milk- based products of the invention fully correspond in taste and behaviour (other than laxative or bifidogenic effect) with the corresponding conventional prod- ucts.
Milk-based products of the invention are primarily suitable for use for human adults and infants. The positive effects of the products are also beneficial to animals, especially pets and production animals. Examples of these include dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, cows, pigs, goats, sheep and poultry. The invention will be described in more detail by means of the following examples.
Example 1. Preparation of yoghurt
8,8 I of standardized milk having a solid content of 9.0%, a lactose content of 4.8%, and a fat content of 0.5% was heated to 500C. 540 g of lac- tose, 706 g of fructose and 45 g of thickener was dissolved in the milk. The mixture was pasteurized at 940C for 4 minutes and cooled to 410C. 159 000 ONPG-units of β-galactosidase produced by Kluyveromyces lactis (GODO- YNL2, Godo Shusei Company Limited, Japan) and starter culture were added to the mixture. The mixture was fermented under conventional fermentation conditions to a pH of 4.2-4.6 and thereafter cooled to refrigeration temperatures (1°C-10°C). The enzyme reacts during the fermentation as long as the pH of the mixture is above 5.5. After fermentation, typical sugar composition of the yogurt base is: Fructose 5.3%, galactooligosaccharides 3.3%, glucose 3.3%, galactose 2.0% and lactose 1.0%. This sweet yogurt base can be fla- voured with aromas or jams as conventional yoghurts. There is no need for added sugar. The yogurt can be used as such to relief constipation and as prebiotic fermented milk product.
Reference Example 2. Preparation of yoghurt
8,8 I of standardized milk having a solid content of 9.0%, a lactose content of 4.8%, and a fat content of 0.5% was pasteurized at 94°C for 4 min-
utes and cooled to 410C. 159 000 ONPG-units of β-galactosidase produced by Kluyveromyces lactis (GODO-YNL2, Godo Shusei Company Limited, Japan) and starter culture were added to the mixture. The mixture was fermented under standard fermentation conditions to a pH of 4.2-4.6 and thereafter cooled to refrigeration temperatures (1°C-10°C). After fermentation, typical sugar composition of the non-flavoured yogurt base is: glucose 2.2%, galactose 1.7% (total sugars 5.0%), galactooligosaccharides less than 0.3% and lactose less than 1 %. No fructo-galactooligosaccharides are formed.
This yogurt base can be flavoured with aromas or jams.
Example 3. The effect of yoghurt containing galactooligosaccharides on the colon health and gastrointestinal conditions
The aim was to investigate whether a yoghurt prepared as described in Example 1 and containing galactooligosaccharides relieves constipation. Forty-one elderly subjects (mean age 68 years; range 60-79 years) with self-reported constipation completed this randomised, double-blind crossover intervention consisting of two three-week intervention periods. The statistical analyses have been carried out only for the first period due to a carry-over effect. During the intervention, the participants daily ingested either two galac- tooligosaccharides-containing yoghurts (GOS) (10 g GOS/day) as described in Example 1 , or two placebo yoghurts without galactooligosaccharides but otherwise similar to the galactooligosaccharides-containing yoghurts.
Bowel habits were followed by a symptom diary, and the intestinal transit time was measured using Sitzmark® capsules.
Defecation was significantly easier during the galactooligosaccha- rides-containing yoghurt period compared to the placebo yoghurt period (p = 0.025). There was also a tendency towards increased bowel frequency (p = 0.084), while the transit time seemed to become shorter with the galactooligo- saccharides-containing yoghurt (3.1 days vs. 3.4 days; p = 0.39). There was no difference between the galactooligosaccharide yoghurt group and the pla- cebo yoghurt group regarding abdominal adverse effects (flatulence, abdominal pain, bloating).
Table 1. Defecation frequency (bowel movements per five days), difficulty in defecation (from 0 = easy to 3 = difficult; possible range 0-15) and intestinal symptoms (from 0 = easy to 3 = difficult; possible range for each symptom 0-15). ). Number of study subjects was 23 in the GOS yoghurt group and 18 in the placebo yoghurt group.

The results set forth in Table 1 show that the yoghurt prepared by a method of the present invention has a beneficial influence on gastrointestinal conditions.
The results are discussed in more detail on pages 8 and 9 above.
Example 4. Preparation of sweetened condensed milk
2,8.3 kg of fructose and 18.9 kg of lactose was added to 412.8 I of skimmed milk containing 0.1% of fat, 4.8% of lactose, and 8.8% of milk solids. The mixture was pasteurized (72°C, 15 s) and evaporated to a dry matter content of 60%, and thereafter cooled to 400C. 15 350 kONPG-units of β-galacto- sidase produced by Kiuyveromyces lactis (GODO- YNL2, Godo Shusei Company Limited) was added to the mixture. The enzyme was allowed to react for 6 hours, and the reaction mixture was then heated to 800C for 1 minute so that the enzyme was inactivated. The sugar components of the mixture was analysed whereby the content of galactooiigosaccharides was 11.0%, lactose 6.6%, glucose 4.5%, galactose 4.0% and fructose 16.9%. The mixture thus obtained can be used as such as sweetened condensed milk containing galactooiigosaccharides, as a base for yoghurt manufactured with conventional pro- duction methods, or as a prebiotic ingredient for food products such as fermented milk drink, whey beverage or milk beverage.
Example 5. Preparation of a sweet skimmed milk powder
Sweetened condensed milk containing galactooligosaccharides was prepared as described in Example 4, and dried with conventional methods to a powder. The powder can be used as such or as a base for yoghurt manufac- tured with conventional production methods or as a prebiotic ingredient for food products such as fermented milk drink, whey beverage or milk beverage. The product containing the daily requirement of active ingredient is to be used as such.
