A mixture of human milk oligosaccharides that comprises or consists essentially of a) LNTri II, LNT, pLNH II and optionally lactose, or b) LNTri II, LNnT, pLNnH and optionally lactose, and is useful for preventing or treating viral or bacterial, intestinal and respiratory infections and for modulating the human gastrointestinal microbiota to increase Bifidobacterium abundance. A process for preparing the mixture and methods of crystallizing LNnT and LNT is also described. |
