A method of diversification of human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) or precursors thereof, compounds obtainable by the method, and uses and compositions involving such compounds. The method comprises the steps of a) providing at least one compound or a mixture of the compounds selected from the group consisting of: optionally sialylated and/or fucosylated lactose derivatives of general formula 2 and salts thereof: (2) wherein R is a group removable by hydrogenolysis, R1 independently of each other is fucosyl or H, R4 independently of each other is sialyl or H, provided that the compound of general formula 2 is not R-glycoside of lactose, if provided alone; optionally sialylated and/or fucosylated lactose derivatives of general formula 4 and salts thereof: (4) wherein R1 independently of each other is fucosyl or H, R4 independently of each other is sialyl or H, provided that the compound of general formula 4 is not lactose, if provided alone; lacto-N-tetraose (LNT): (I) lacto-N-tetraose (LNT) derivatives of the following formula: (II) wherein R is a group removable by hydrogenolysis; lacto-N-neotetraose (LNnT): (III) lacto-N-neotetraose (LNnT) derivatives of the following formula: (IV) wherein R is a group removable by hydrogenolysis; b) adding at least one enzyme comprising a transglycosidase activity to the at least one compound or a mixture of compounds provided according to step a); and c) incubating the mixture obtained according to step b).
