About The Fructo-oligosaccharide(FOS)

I. Composition and properties.

Fructo-oligosaccharide is a natural active ingredient with 0.3 to 0.6 times higher sweetness than sucrose. It has the following properties:

1. It is not easily digested and absorbed by the human body. It can directly enter the large intestine and be targeted by beneficial bacteria in the intestine to promote the growth and proliferation of beneficial bacteria and regulate the balance of intestinal flora.

2. It has a certain degree of sweetness, but is low in calories, making it suitable for people who need to control their calorie intake.

3. It is highly soluble in water and is easy to use in food processing.

II. Efficacy and functions.

1. Improve intestinal function: Fructooligosaccharides can promote intestinal peristalsis, increase stool volume, and prevent and relieve constipation. At the same time, it can also inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, reduce the production of intestinal toxins, and maintain intestinal health.

2. Strengthen immunity: By promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria, it strengthens the barrier function of the intestinal mucosa and improves the body’s immunity.

3. Reduce blood lipids and blood sugar: Fructooligosaccharides can affect lipid and sugar metabolism, reduce serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and play a certain role in preventing cardiovascular diseases. At the same time, it can also delay the absorption of glucose and reduce blood sugar spikes.

4. Promote the absorption of calcium and other minerals: The short-chain fatty acids produced by the fermentation of fructooligosaccharides in the intestine can lower intestinal pH, increase the solubility of calcium, magnesium and other minerals, and promote their absorption.

III. Areas of application.

1. Food industry: It can be used in dairy products, beverages, baked goods, candy and other products as sweeteners, sources of fiber and functional ingredients. For example, adding fructooligosaccharides to yogurt can increase the viscosity and taste of the product while improving the health benefits of yogurt.
