Other Name: LNnT
CAS No.: 13007-32-4
Chemical Structure:
Lacto-N-Neotetraose Application:
Lacto-N-neotetraose (LNnT) is a neutral human milk oligosaccharide (HMO) composed of four monosaccharide units: galactose, N-acetylglucosamine, galactose, and glucose. Structurally classified as a type II HMO, LNnT is increasingly used in nutritional, microbiome, and infant formula research for its ability to support gut microbiota development and mimic the functional role of oligosaccharides found in human milk. Commercially available in high purity, LNnT is well-suited for applications in infant nutrition, functional food development, and prebiotic R&D. Applications of Lacto-N-neotetraose:
Infant Formula Fortification
Added to infant formula as a functional HMO ingredient to help mimic the oligosaccharide profile of human milk and support microbiota balance.Prebiotic and Gut Microbiome Research
Used in microbiome studies to evaluate its selective fermentation by beneficial bacteria such as Bifidobacterium spp.Functional Food Ingredient Development
Incorporated into food and beverage formulations as a prebiotic enhancer to support digestive wellness in various age groups.Nutritional Supplement Innovation
Investigated for its potential as a bioactive component in gut-targeted supplements and specialized dietary products.Pharmaceutical and Clinical Nutrition Research
Studied in relation to intestinal barrier integrity, immune modulation, and host-microbe interactions in clinical nutrition R&D.Bioprocessing and Fermentation Substrate
Applied in cell culture systems and fermentation studies as a defined carbohydrate substrate for strain-specific microbial growth optimization.
