Goat milk oligosaccharides: composition, analytical methods and bioactive and nutritional properties

Conclusions: The quantification and the profile of oligosaccharides depend on the methodology applied for this purpose. Those based on HPLC and mass spectrometry are the best methods for oligosaccharide identification and quantification in goat milk. Membrane technology is also a successful method applied in the isolation and concentration of oligosaccharides. Beneficial effects of goat milk oligosaccharides are related to gastrointestinal activities, inflammatory reactions and nervous system development.Graphical abstract
