Naturally Occurring Bioactive Oligosaccharides in Goat’s Milk-Infant Formula (P11-078-19)

Abstract

Fourteen OS were quantified in goat’s milk IF, of which 5 were structurally similar to those reported in human milk. At concentrations similar to those in reconstituted IF, OS fractions were significantly effective in enhancing the growth of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli strains and preventing the adhesion of E. coli NCTC10418 (52.4%) and S. typhimurium (35%) to the Caco-2 cells.
