N2  - Xylooligosaccharides (XOS's) exhibited  considerable prebiotic and antimicrobial potentials and  can be incorporated into many food products and in  pharmaceutical and drug industry. XOS's were  produced from xylose-containing polysaccharides  (XPS's) obtained from natural, xylan-rich, agro- industrial wastes, i.e. corncobs and sugarcane bagasse.  The yields of XPS's were 32.1% and 27.2% from  corncobs and sugarcane bagasse; respectively. The  XOS's were prepared by partial hydrolysis of XPS's  obtained from corncobs and sugarcane bagasse, either  chemically by oxalic acid 0.25N or microbially by  fungal attack by Aspergillus niger or by  Trichoderma reesei. The partial hydrolysis of XPS's;  resulted in production of 8 mixtures comprising a total  of 18 individual oligosaccharides. XOS's were then  evaluated as for their biological activities, including  their prebiotic, antimicrobial, anticoagulant and  fibrinolytic activities. The results showed that the tested  XOS-mixtures enhanced the growth of the probiotic  bacteria.
