Methods for cleaving oligonucleotides from a solid support are described as are methods for synthesizing an oligonucleotide on a solid support and subsequently cleaving the oligonucleotide from the solid support. In the methods, the 3′ nucleoside of the oligonucleotide attached to the solid support is a LNA nucleoside. The method entail treating the bound oligonucleotide with a concentrated ammonium hydroxide solution for about 30 minutes to about 6 hours.

Methods of preparing novel steviol glycosides are described herein. The methods utilize biocatalysts for converting a starting steviol glycoside to a target steviol glycoside. Compositions and consumables comprising said novel steviol glycosides as well as methods of purifying and using said novel steviol glycosides, are also provided.

Suggested is method for producing galactooligosaccharides, comprising the following steps:

(i) Providing an aqueous milk sugar solution; (ii) Sterilising the milk sugar solution; (iii) Performing a transgalactosilation of the milk sugars present in the sterilised milk sugar solution of step (ii) by adding at least one beta-galactosidase within its optimum temperature and pH value intervals for a period of at least 30 minutes, obtaining a reaction mixture; (iv) Inhibiting the enzyme mass in the reaction mixture of step (iii), and (v) Confectioning the reaction mixture of step (iv), Wherein (a) The enzyme mass is wholly or partly inhibited by setting a pH value outside the activity optimum of the enzymes; (b) The reaction mixture, together with the inhibited enzyme mass, is subjected to filtration, obtaining a retentate (R1) and a permeate (P1); (c) The inhibited amount of enzymes is separated as a retentate (R1) and is fed back to step (iii); and (d) The permeate (P2) containing the galactooligosaccharides is passed on to step (v).

The present technology is direct to methods of producing 6,6′-diamino-6,6′-deoxy-trehalose (“DATH”) or a salt thereof. The methods include optionally protecting one or more hydroxyl groups of D-trehalose and converting the primary hydroxyl groups of D-trehalose to product DATH or a salt thereof through use of a halogen, azide, and/or protected amine to. The present technology is also direct to intermediate products of the methods.
