ABSTRACT
Oligosaccharides are natural constituents of all bacteria, fungi, plants and placental
mammals’ milk. The milk is a rich source of oligosaccharides with different novel oligosaccharides
depends on the nature of their origin in which mammals the milk belongs. Buffalo milk
oligosaccharides have resistivity against parasitic infections. Donkey milk oligosaccharides have
ability to stimulate non-specific and specific immunological resistance. Goat milk oligosaccharides
is useful for intestinal protection and repair after a damage caused by DSS (Dextron sodium
sulphate)-induced colitis and their implication in human intestinal inflammation. Goat milk
oligosaccharides have anti-inflammatory effects. The cows’ milk oligosaccharides reduce the
adhesion of enterotoxic Escherichia coli strains of the calf. Remember all bioactive properties of
different origin, Gaddi sheep's milk was collected and processed by Modified method of Kobata and
Ginsburg and then it was purified by Sephadex G-25 Gel column. The homogeneity is confirmed by
reverse phase high performance chromatography and supported by thin layer
chromatography.The acetylation of oligosaccharides mixture followed by the silica gel
chromatography led to isolation of a novel oligosaccharides. The antimicrobial activity of Gaddi
sheep’s milk oligosaccharides was investigated against three bacterial namely Staphylococcus
aureus, Escherichia coli and Salmonella Typhimurium and two fungal strains namely Candida
albicans and Aspergillus niger are selected on the basis of their relevance as human pathogens. All
samples of milk oligosaccharide exhibited antimicrobial activity against dermatomycotic fungi
and foodborne pathogen bacteria.
