Biochemical characterization of two cellobiose 2-epimerases and application for efficient production of lactulose and epilactose

Lactose is the most abundant by-product of the dairy industry and is increasingly recognized as an important feedstock to produce value-added compounds. Lactulose and epilactose are valuable prebiotics that can be generated from lactose with cellobiose 2-epimerases (CEases). Here we describe the cha...
