Popis: The galactooligosaccharide (GOS) was produced by Bulgarian lactic acid bacteria fermentation and further refined by application of an ultrafiltration-nanofiltration continuous membrane combination technology established in this paper. Results revealed that the optimum of membrane operation conditions for ultrafiltration were 0.05 Mpa at the feed concentration of 2.5 g/L, and the optimal conditions for nanofiltration were 45 °C, 0.4 Mpa. After refining by membrane combination technology, 96.70% of proteins were removed and the relative quality ratio of the refined GOS product was increased by 22 times or so, which mainly contained oligomers with DP 3 and DP 2, and mostly distributed between 108 Da and 2415 Da. These findings suggest that the ultrafiltration-nanofiltration continuous membrane combination technology is a new and favorable processes method for enrich or refining of milk-derived GOS obtained by fermentation.
