Abstract
A method and special complex enzyme for hydrolyzing a galactomannan (GM) to prepare a small-molecule GM and a galactomannan oligosaccharide (GMOS) is provided. The method includes: conducting fermentation with microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) and melibiose as carbon sources and Trichoderma reesei (T. reesei) as an enzyme-producing strain to obtain a supernatant, which is a complex enzyme solution with enzymatic activities of β-mannanase and α-galactosidase; and directly using the complex enzyme solution for enzymatic hydrolysis of a GM as a substrate to prepare the small-molecule GM and the GMOS.
