Abstract [eng] Little is known about the extent of variation and activity of naturally occurring milk gly- cosidases and their potential to degrade milk glycans. A multi-omics approach was used to investi- gate the relationship between glycosidases and important bioactive compounds such as free oligo- saccharides and O-linked glycans in bovine milk. Using 4-methylumbelliferone (4-MU) assays ac- tivities of eight indigenous glycosidases were determined, and by mass spectrometry and 1H NMR spectroscopy various substrates and metabolite products were quantified in a subset of milk sam- ples from eight native North European cattle breeds. The results showed a clear variation in glyco- sidase activities among the native breeds. Interestingly, negative correlations between some glyco- sidases including β-galactosidase, N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase, certain oligosaccharide isomers as well as O-linked glycans of κ-casein were revealed. Further, a positive correlation was found for free fucose content and α-fucosidase activity (r = 0.37, P-value < 0.001) indicating cleavage of fuco- sylated glycans in milk at room temperature. The results obtained suggest that milk glycosidases might partially degrade valuable glycans, which would result in lower recovery of glycans and thus represent a loss for the dairy ingredients industry if these activities are pronounced.
