CAS 64003-52-7: Lacto-N-neohexaose

Description: Lacto-N-neohexaose is a complex oligosaccharide that belongs to the family of human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs). It is composed of six sugar units, primarily consisting of galactose, glucose, and N-acetylglucosamine. This oligosaccharide is notable for its prebiotic properties, promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, which can enhance gut health and immune function. Lacto-N-neohexaose is also recognized for its role in mimicking the structure of certain cell surface receptors, potentially aiding in the prevention of pathogen adhesion. It is soluble in water and typically exhibits low toxicity, making it suitable for various applications in food and pharmaceutical industries. Additionally, its presence in human milk underscores its importance in infant nutrition, contributing to the development of the gut microbiome. Overall, Lacto-N-neohexaose is a significant component of dietary carbohydrates with implications for health and nutrition.
