Abstract

Linear β-manno-oligosaccharides (L-β-MOS) are widely used to investigate oligo- and poly-saccharide structures and mannanolytic enzyme activities. L-β-MOS are also being used as prebiotic agents with potential bio-active properties. In this study, we developed an efficient protocol to prepare a series of L-β-MOS by hydrolyzing cassia gum (CG) using mannanolytic enzymes (endo-1,4-β-mannanase, α-galactosidases and β-glucosidases). By using medium pressure liquid chromatography (MPLC), we purified L-β-MOS with different degrees of polymerization (DPs). HPAEC-PAD, MALDI-TOF-MS and NMR studies confirmed that these L-β-MOS species ranged from 1,4-β-D-mannobiose to 1,4-β-D-mannononaose (DP 2–9) with >95% purity. Our results provide a robust approach to preparing L-β-MOS, thus enabling L-β-MOS to be further used in the fields of chemistry, life science, and nutritional food.
