Production Introduction:

Fructo-oligosaccharide(FOS), is also know as Oligofructoseor orScrosetrisacchride, its molecular formula is G-F-Fn,n=1-3(G:Glusosyl group, F: Fructosy group), which contented by 1Ketose(GF2), Nystose(GF3), 1-fructofuranosyl nystose(GF4) and theirmixtures, Industrialized FOS is primrose yellow or light yellow.TheFOS is the typical Prebiotics Product.

Product Function:

1.As the representives of functional oligosaccharide, it hastwo-way regulation to balance the micro-ecology in intestine. FOSis remarkable in promoting reproduction of Bifidobactirium, itdirectly enters into large intestine without being absorbed byhuman stomach and small intestine and is used by Bifidobactititumfor reproduction; It cannot be utilized by harmful bacteria inintestine, so as to supppress harmful bacteria and protection ofhuman health.

2.Low saccharinely, Low caloric.The saccharinely of FOS isapprpximately one-third of sucrose. The FOS doesn''t be decomposedα-amylase, sucrose invertase and maltase; cannot be used as energyby human body; will not lead to elevated blood sugar level, so itis very suitable for patients with diabetes and obesity areedible.

3.Purgation.Fruct-oligosaccharides in the human body should notbe digested and absorbed.

4.Resistant against toooth decay. FunctionalFructo-oligasaccharide generally has no adverse effects on teeth.Dental caries was mainly due to oral  micro-organises,especially Streptococcus mutant generated by the use of sugar acid,especially lactic acid and water-soluble, β-glucan result.Functional fructo-oligosaccharide oral micro-organisms should notbecome the role of the above-mentioned sustrate, nor the role ofcell condensatin, and thus eill not cause dental carieschanged.

5.Promote the absorption of minerals FOS have capacity ofinterception with minerals such as Ca,Mg, Fe, Zn. FOS can notbe decomposed by digestive enzymes, in the large intestine, withFOS was ferment decomposition by bifidobacteria, mineral ionreleased. In addition, FOS by bifidobacteria, such as fermentationto produce short-chain fatty acids reduce the intestinal pH, inacidic environment, increasing at a rate of many mineralsdissolved, which is conducive to the absorption.
