Article Abstract
Unlabelled: Despite health benefits reported recently, 2'-fucosyllactose (2'-FL) concentration in maternal milk was not conclusively reported because it varies between countries and mothers. Particularly, its distribution among Korean mothers was not obtained from a reliable sample group yet. Thus, a dynamic range for 2'-FL concentration in Korean mothers' milk was investigated from 102 samples. A quantitative method using multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) by triple-quadrupole-mass spectrometry has been evaluated by a standard procedure of method validation. The 2'-FL concentration was in the range of 0.4 to 2.6 g/L overall. While the samples from secretor mothers (n = 80) contained 1.0 to 2.8 g/L of 2'-FL, the maternal milk from non-secretor mothers (n = 22) had 0.01 to 0.06 g/L of 2'-FL only. In addition to the genetic variation of mothers, the lactation period impacted the 2'-FL concentration. The average 2'-FL concentration of the late-stage group (> 60 days) was 78% of that obtained from the first month of postpartum mothers.

Breast milk is rich in bioactive proteins and oligosaccharides, including osteopontin (OPN) and 2'-fucosyllactose (2'-FL), which are believed to promote the growth of beneficial microbiota and regulate intestinal barrier function. In this study, fermentation substrates including DOPN (digested OPN fragment), 2'-FL and their combinations in varying proportions, were prepared through in vitro gastrointestinal digestion, dialysis and freeze-drying. Changes in gas production, organic acid levels, ammonia N concentration and bacterial population abundance were studied using an in vitro batch fermentation model, with feces inocula from healthy infants.

As the third most abundant solid component of human milk, human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) exert well-known effects on the infant gastrointestinal tract, including promoting growth and preventing pathogen infection. However, the effects of HMOs on the adult gut microbiome remain unknown. In this study, we examined the effects of 2'-fucosyllactose (2'-FL) and 3-fucosyllactose (3-FL), the most abundant HMOs, on the adult gut microbiome using the Simulator of Human Intestinal Microbial Ecosystem (SHIME), which can simulate human gastrointestinal conditions.

Human milk microbiota (HMM) and human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) are crucial components of breast milk that influence infant health and development. This study provides long-term insights into the dynamic changes in HMM and HMOs and their interactions among Taiwanese lactating mothers. A cohort of 90 mothers with singleton, full-term infants contributed 319 breast milk samples across eight lactation stages over 52 weeks.

Biosensors are crucial for high-throughput screening (HTS) of metabolite overproducers, but human milk oligosaccharide (HMO) biosensors are rarely reported. The concentrations of HMOs were evaluated by detecting the residual lactose, since lactose served as a universal substrate. In this study, a lactose biosensor was developed using the lactose-sensing transcription factor BgaR, correlating lactose concentration with strain growth.
