The aim of the doctoral thesis was to improve the lactose hydrolysis process for obtaining glucose-galactose and oligosaccharide syrups. The hypothesis of the doctoral thesis has been confirmed by the defended thesis: 1. The presence of cations affects the β-galactosidase activity in the sweet and acid whey permeate. 2. The chemical composition and quality of whey affect the physical properties of lactose. 3. Enzymatic reactions affect the functional and sensory properties of syrups. The research objects – sweet and acid whey permeates, glucose isomerase, commercial β-galactosidases and glucose-galactose syrup. The doctoral thesis consists of three chapters: Chapter 1 describes the composition of whey and the possibilities of using it. An overview of the chemical and physical properties of lactose, lactose hydrolysis methods, the application of β-galactosidases and the properties of glucose-galactose syrup are provided. Chapter 2 summarises the materials and methods used in the thesis. Chapter 3 provides a summary of the results obtained in the study, the properties of commercial enzymes in different cation concentrations, the stability of enzymes in the gastrointestinal tract model, methods for the determination of lactose, the properties of dehydrated permeates are evaluated. The influence of factors on the hydrolysis of permeates and the profile of the obtained sugars was analysed. Possibilities for lactulose synthesis are considered. Sensory analysis of glucose-galactose syrups and syrups obtained in the two-stage fermentation are given.
