Milk concentration permeate (MCP), a low-value by-product of ultrafiltration plants and calcium carbonate-based catalysts were used for lactulose production. The results obtained show the effectiveness of oyster shell powder and limestone for lactose isomerisation as a replacement for egg shell powder. With the reaction conditions of 12mg/ml catalyst loading, reflux time of 120min at 96°C, a maximum yield of 18-21% lactulose was achievable at a cost of <50% of original lactose degradation (measured by HPLC). De-proteination of MCP by acidification prior to isomerisation helped lactulose formation in the earlier stages, but did not significantly increase the yield. The resulting lactulose MCP (40°B) incorporated at the rate of 3-4% was effective in enhancing the growth rate and acid production of Lactobacillus acidophilus (LA-5) in probiotic products.

Background And Aims: The quality of a colonoscopy is heavily reliant on the effectiveness of bowel cleansing. Various cleansing solutions are currently available, but their comparative efficacy remains uncertain. This systematic review and network meta-analysis aims to compare the performance of different bowel preparations for colonoscopy.

Article Synopsis
- Hyperammonemia, often caused by liver cirrhosis, is a key factor in encephalopathy cases, affecting patients' mental status.
- Treatment typically involves lactulose and rifaximin to manage ammonia levels.
- In a specific case, a patient with slightly elevated ammonia levels of 39 μmol/L recovered after 30 hours of fluid therapy, without the need for lactulose or rifaximin.
Performance, nutrient digestibilities, and metabolic profiles of Holstein calves fed whole milk or milk replacer at two feeding levels.

Trouw Nutrition R&D, P.O. Box 299, 3800 AG, Amersfoort, the Netherlands;. Electronic address:
The macronutrient composition of common milk replacers (MR) largely differs from bovine whole milk (WM). These differences are more nutritionally relevant when calves receive higher milk allowances. Therefore, the present study compared fresh WM with a conventional MR fed at 2 level of feeding allowances evaluating growth performance, apparent total-tract nutrient digestibilities, nitrogen (N) balance, and serum metabolite profiles in calves.

Lactosylation of lysines occurs during the heating of dairy products, yet how lactosylation impact the lysine release during digestion remains largely unknown. This study examines the effect of lactosylation on the digestibility of lactotransferrin using chemical analysis, proteomics, and peptidomics. Under the applied heating conditions, lactotransferrin primarily undergoes early-stage Maillard reactions, producing lactulose-lysine.

Cellobiose 2-epimerase from Caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus (CsCE) can epimerize and isomerize lactose into epilactose and lactulose respectively. Competition between these reactions reactions has prompted the search for new enzymes to drive the reaction in one direction or the other. The isomerization and epimerization capacity of a novel mutant CsCE (CsCE H356N) was evaluated, obtaining a maximum lactulose yield of 64.
