Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to an enzymatic method of producing 4-0-.beta.-D- galactopyranosyl-D-xylose which is used for the in vivo evaluation of intestinal lactase activity in humans. The inventive method consists in: a) reacting D-xilose with a .beta.-D-galactopyranoside for 2 48 h in a medium buffered to pH 5 9 and at a temperature that varies between the freezing of the mixture and 45 ~C, and subsequently adding 10-10,000 units of .beta.-D- galactosidase per gram of .beta.-D-galactopyranoside; b) stopping the reacti on by deactivating the enzyme; and c) isolating and crystallising the fractions that contain 4-O-.beta.-D-galactopyranosyl-D-xilose in a crystallisation mixture selected between acetone/methanol (5:1-20:1) and acetone/water (5:1- 20:1).
