The invention relates to a mixture of human milk oligosaccharides that consists essentially of: a) a component A which is 3-FL or DFL, a component B which is LNT, LNnT, LNFP-I or 2′-FL, a component C, which is LNFP-II when component B is LNT, or LNFP-III when component B is LNnT, or LNDFH-I when component B is LNFP-I, or DFL when component B is 2′-FL, and a component D, which is lactose when component A is 3-FL, or 2′-FL when component A is DFL, with the proviso that if component B is 2′-FL, then component A is 3-FL; or consists essentially of: b) 3-FL, a component E which is LNT, LNnT or LNFP-I, and a component F, which is LNFP-II when component E is LNT, or LNFP-III when component E is LNnT, or LNDFH-I when component E is LNFP-I,
and to processes for producing them and their uses.

The present invention “use of Maitake and Maitake polysaccharide D Fraction in manufacture of medicaments for anti-depression” belongs to the field of pharmaceuticals, which characterized in that the Maitake whole herb, Maitake extract or Maitake polysaccharide D fraction is used in the preparation of antidepressants. The medicament can be used to treat or prevent depression, which has a significant antidepressant effect, not only strong effect, but also no conventional antidepressant medicaments toxicity, side effects, such as induced epilepsy, ataxia and other shortcomings. Therefore, they can be used as an excellent antidepressant candidate medicament.
