Fructooligosaccharides

Fructooligosaccharide fos powder is a type of prebiotic, a functional oligosaccharide, and a good water-soluble dietary fiber. In life, fructooligosaccharides mainly exist in wheat, rye, barley, onions, and Jerusalem artichokes.
Fructo-oligosaccharide is made from inulin and refined through the hydrolysis of inulin endo-enzyme. It is beneficial to the human body if taken for a long time.

Fructooligosaccharides

When we consume fructo-oligosaccharide, it will be used by beneficial bacteria in the intestines, promote the proliferation of beneficial bacteria such as Bifidobacteria, and regulate intestinal flora. This not only makes our intestines healthier, but also There are many other health benefits that come with it.
At the same time, fructo-oligosaccharides cannot be broken down by digestive enzymes in the intestines, nor are they digested and absorbed by the stomach and small intestine. They can directly enter the large intestine and be fermented to produce organic acids, which lower intestinal ph, stimulate intestinal peristalsis, and promote defecation.
Fructo-oligosaccharide is a soluble dietary fiber that has the property of absorbing water and swelling, and promotes the formation of stool.

Fructooligosaccharides are not absorbed by the human digestive system and will not be broken down into small molecule monosaccharides such as glucose in the body after taking them, so they will not cause blood sugar to rise. Moreover, for people who already have diabetes, fructooligosaccharides can play a better role in assisting in lowering blood sugar. The metabolism of fructooligosaccharides in the intestines will lower the pH of the intestines and form an acidic environment, which can increase the solubility of calcium and promote the absorption and utilization of calcium.

fructooligosaccharide

Fructooligosaccharide fos powder can be used as a raw material for food sweeteners, moisturizers and health foods, and is widely used in various foods and health products.
1. Applications in dairy products
Adding fructo-oligosaccharides to fermented dairy products can provide a nutrient source for probiotics such as Bifidobacteria, increase the number of viable probiotics in the product, and extend the shelf life.

2. Application in cereal foods
Fructooligosaccharides give baked goods good flavor and color, improve their brittleness, and facilitate puffing. In addition, adding an appropriate amount of fructooligosaccharides to bread can produce moisturizing effects, delay starch aging, prevent food from hardening, make it soft and delicious, and extend shelf life.

3. Application in candy and beverages
Fructooligosaccharides are added to candies and beverages to improve product taste and reduce the caloric value of candies.
