Methods of the invention also provide for the production of various protein-containing fractions substantially free of flatulence-promoting undigestable oligosaccharides and substantially lacking objectionable taste.

The invention provides a method for preparing microbial oligosaccharide with probiotic action. The method is characterized in that: a sugar producing culture medium is used for liquid fermentation of K.rhinoscleromatis K13 to extract extracellular polysaccharide; enzymatic solution of phage glycanase is prepared, the enzymatic solution and water solution of extracellular polysaccharide are mixed for enzymolysis, the undegraded macro molecular sugar is removed by ultrafiltration, and the obtained filtrate is refined and condensed to obtain the microbial oligosaccharide KOS. Tests show that the microbial oligosaccharide KOS is non-digestible oligosaccharide which can promote the growth of probiotics such as bifidobacterium, lactobacillus and the like, inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria such as pathogenic bacteria, putrefying bacteria and the like, and has the functions of improving the micro ecological environment of the intestinal tract and cleaning the intestinal tract. The microbial oligosaccharide KOS is novel probiotics, which is novel microbial oligosaccharide which is obtained by degrading the extracellular polysaccharide of the K.rhinoscleromatis K13 through the phage glycanase, and the raw materials used in the method are different from those of other polysaccharides, and the result repeatability is good due to the degradation by an enzyme method, so that the application prospect is wide.

The present invention is directed to enzyme based methods for separating protein from protein-rich materials derived from plant seeds, fruit, or other biomass and products made therefrom. The protein content in the resulting products is improved by separating and removing the carbohydrates from around the proteins in, for example, soybean meal. This removal is facilitated by the enzymatic hydrolysis of poly- and oligomeric carbohydrates into monosaccharides and other water soluble sugars. The present invention provides for the production of three streams of useful materials. The first is an enriched protein material comparable to the known SPCs but without significant quantities of undigestible oligosaccharides and polysaccharides. The second is an SPI made from the soluble protein in the hydrolysate which is valuable for high-quality feed, food and industrial uses. The third is the soluble saccharides and hydrolyzed carbohydrates (releasing sugars) that can be converted by fermentation to various valuable bioproducts.
