Process for the preparation of a galacto-oligosaccharide preparation, which process comprises the step of contacting a lactulose-containing feed with a beta-galactosidase derived from Papiliotrema terrestris. The resulting galacto-oligosaccharide is acceptable to subjects suffering from GOS-related allergy and subjects having lactose intolerance.

Polymeric compositions are provided that include a poly(ethylene glycol), a viscoelastic polymer, and an antioxidant, where, in polymerized form, the compositions have a refractive index of about 1.30 to about 1.40. Methods of synthesizing the compositions are also provided and include the steps of heating an amount of water; adding a buffering agent to the water to form a buffer solution; mixing a poly(ethylene glycol) and a viscoelastic polymer into the buffer solution to form a reactive mixture; adding a plurality of antioxidant particles to the reactive mixture; and removing suspended gas bubbles from the reactive mixture. Methods of preventing oxidative damage to an eye lens of a subject are further provided and include administering the foregoing polymeric compositions to the eye lens of the subject.

The present invention relates to a preterm human milk fortifier composition, more specifically to a preterm milk fortifier composition providing one or more specific nutrient in amounts that are missing in human milk of women who gave birth to a preterm infant. In particular the present invention relates to a fortifier composition designed for infants as a supplement to preterm human breast milk at the time the infant leaves the hospital (discharge) and after. The invention furthermore relates to the use of said preterm human milk fortifier composition.
