Lacto-N-hexaose

Description:

Lacto-N-hexaose is a complex carbohydrate classified as an oligosaccharide, specifically a hexasaccharide. It is composed of six sugar units, primarily consisting of galactose, glucose, and N-acetylglucosamine. This oligosaccharide is notable for its role in human milk, where it serves as a prebiotic, promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria and contributing to the development of the infant's immune system. Lacto-N-hexaose is characterized by its sweet taste and solubility in water, making it a suitable candidate for various food and pharmaceutical applications. Its structure allows for specific interactions with lectins and receptors, which can influence biological processes. Additionally, it has been studied for its potential health benefits, including its ability to modulate gut microbiota and enhance intestinal health. As a non-digestible carbohydrate, it passes through the gastrointestinal tract without being broken down, thus contributing to dietary fiber intake. Overall, Lacto-N-hexaose exemplifies the functional properties of oligosaccharides in nutrition and health.
