ABSTRACT
Milk oligosaccharides, complex carbohydrates unique to mammalian milk, play crucial roles in infant nutrition and immune development. This review explores their biochemical diversity, tracing the evolutionary paths that have led to their variation across different species. We highlight the intersection of nutrition, biology, and chemistry in understanding these compounds. Additionally, we discuss the latest computational methods and analytical techniques that have revolutionized the study of milk oligosaccharides, offering insights into their structural complexity and functional roles. This brief but essential review not only aims to provide a deeper understanding of milk oligosaccharides but also discuss the road toward their potential applications.
