  1. Isomerase and epimerase activities were measured by quantifying lactulose and epilactose which were converted from 20 g/l lactose for 30 min at testing temperature. Values are mean ± SD measured from three experimental replicates
  2. nd, not detected
  3. aUnder this condition, lactulose formed by non-enzymatic isomerization was negligible
