Galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) can be synthesised via ß-galactosidase (ß-Gal) catalysed conversion of lactose. The reaction process was carried out in the membrane reactor system to improve the conversion by partial separation of the products and galactose inhibitor. The reaction rate was determined...
