Description

2’-Fucosyl lactose (2′-FL) is the most abundant human milk oligosaccharide with multiple functions including: acting as a prebiotic, protecting against infections and inflammation, modulating the immune system, supporting brain development, and reducing the risk of necrotizing enterocolitis. The commercial availability of synthetic 2′-FL is important because human milk oligosaccharides were previously only found at significant levels in human milk, however they are now available in a number of infant formulas. 2’-Fucosyl lactose has been given Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) status and the European Union has approved the use of 2’-Fucosyl lactose in infant formula products (Reverri, 2018).
