The important roles of human milk oligosaccharides (HMOS), the third major component of human milk, in the health of breast-fed infants have been increasingly recognized. Structures of more than 100 different HMOS have now been elucidated. Despite the recognition of the various functions of HMOS as prebiotics, antiadhesive antimicrobials, and immunomodulators, the roles and the applications of individual HMOS species are less clear. This is mainly due to the limited accessibility to large amounts of individual HMOS in their pure forms. Current advance on the development of enzymatic, chemoenzymatic, whole cell, and living cell systems allows for the production of a growing numbers of HMOS in increasing amounts. This effort will greatly facilitate the elucidation of the important roles and exploring the applications of HMOS as individual compounds and as a mixture of defined structures with desired functions. The structures, functions, and enzyme-catalyzed synthesis of HMOS are briefly surveyed to provide a general picture about the current progress on these aspects. Future efforts should be devoted to elucidating the structures of more complex HMOS, synthesizing more complex HMOS including those with branched structures, and to develop HMOS-based or HMOS-inspired prebiotics, additives, and therapeutics.
