UDP-6-Deoxy-D-galactose and UDP-6-deoxy-6-fluoro-D-galactose were synthesized and their transfer to 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose (N-acetyl-D-glucosamine) by beta-(1-->4)-galactosyltransferase was examined. The transfer rates of 6-deoxy-D-galactose and 6-deoxy-6-fluoro-D-galactose were 1.3 and 0.2% of that of D-galactosyl transfer, respectively. The 2-acetamido-4-O-(6-deoxy-beta-D-galactopyranosyl)-2-deoxy-D-glucopyranose (6'-deoxy-N-acetyllactosamine) and methyl 2-acetamido-4-O-(6-deoxy-6-fluoro-beta-D-galactopyranosyl)-2-deoxy-D- glucopyranoside (6'-deoxy-6'-fluoro-N-acetyllactosamine) were synthesized enzymatically in 30 and 59% yields, respectively. Further, 6-deoxy-D-galactose could be completely transferred to N-linked type biantennary oligosaccharides having two N-acetyl-D-glucosaminyl residues at the nonreducing end to give the corresponding penta- and hepta-saccharides in 55 and 57% yields, respectively. An assay of 6-deoxy-D-galactosyl transfer using asialo agalacto alpha 1-acid glycoprotein as an acceptor suggested that 6-deoxy-D-galactose was transferred to about 30% of the N-acetyl-D-glucosaminyl residues in the N-linked oligosaccharides of the glycoprotein.

Background: Ginseng has therapeutic potential for treating obesity and the associated gut microbiota dysbiosis. However, whether white ginseng and red ginseng, the two kinds of commonly used processed ginseng, possess different anti-obesity effects remains unknown.
Purpose: Anti-obesity effects of water extracts of white ginseng and red ginseng (WEWG and WERG) were compared, and the potential mechanisms were discussed.

Article Synopsis
- Mannanoligosaccharides (MOS) were extracted from palm kernel cake using high temperature and pressure, and their structure was analyzed through various chemical methods.
- The analysis confirmed that the MOS have a linear structure made of (1→4)-β-d-mannopyranosyl residues with specific sizes indicated by molecular weights.
- In vitro tests showed that MOS-III and MOS-IV can effectively support the growth of the Lactobacillus reuteri C1 strain, promoting probiotic activity.

A novel series of synthetic biantennary tri-, penta- and hepta-saccharides with terminal beta-GlcNAc, beta-LacNAc and alpha NeuAc(2,6)beta LacNAc residues, respectively, [LacNAc = Gal beta (1,4)Glc-NAc] connected to a core Gal residue were evaluated for their inhibitory potencies for specific plant and animal lectins. Six isomeric trisaccharides with two beta-GlcNAc residues at the 2,3-, 2,4-, 2,6-, 3,4-, 3,6-, or 4,6-positions of the core Gal were tested for their hemagglutination inhibition activities against two GlcNAc-specific lectins, Griffonia simplicifolia II (GS II) and wheat germ agglutinin (WGA). The 2,3-, 2,4-, 2,6- and 3,6-trisaccharides inhibited WGA 12-50 times more strongly than GlcNAc, whereas only weak or no inhibition was observed with GS II.
