Abstract
Aspergillus oryzae cells were entrapped within agarose beads. These en trapped cells, having cr-galactosidase activity of 0.72 IU/ml, were us ed for hydrolyzing flatulence-causing galacto-oligosaccharides present in soymilk. The total of 52% raffinose, 70% stachyose, and 66.3% tota l oligosaccharides of soymilk was observed to be hydrolyzed in 8 h at 50 degrees C by these immobilized cells.
