Oligosaccharides act as the high efficiency stabilizer for β-galactosidase under heat treatment

β-Galactosidase (β-Gal) as dietary supplement has the ability to alleviate symptoms of lactose intolerance. This study investigated the ability of oligosaccharides to protect β-Gal against heat stress. Four kinds of oligosaccharides including Isomalto-oligosaccharides (IMO), Xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS), Konjac-oligosaccharides (KOS), and Mycose significantly increased the activity retention of β-Gal under heat treatment. The results of three...
