Fructo Oligosaccharide Powder

What Is Fructo Oligosaccharide?

Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) are naturally occurring, non-digestible carbohydrates that act as prebiotics, feeding beneficial gut bacteria like Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli. Fructooligosaccharides are found in plants such as onions, garlic, bananas, and chicory root, but are also commercially added to foods and supplements for their low-calorie sweetener properties and health benefits, including improved bowel function and mineral absorption.

As a natural sweetener, oligofructose (FOS) is widely used in health foods, beverages, dairy products, confectionery, and other food industries.
Common sources of fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) include chicory root, artichokes, onions and garlic, bananas, and blue agave.

Fructooligosaccharides Benefits

• Prebiotic in Nature

Fructooligosaccharides are considered to be prebiotics. While you may confuse prebiotics with probiotics, they’re different. Probiotics are live microorganisms thriving in your gut and responsible for maintaining overall health, and prebiotics are non-digestible fiber that act as food for the good/ probiotic bacteria to nourish their growth. As fructooligosaccharides are indigestible, they reach your large intestine and benefit the growth of good bacteria in your digestive tract. Also, fructooligosaccharides are used in baby formula to help grow good bacteria in your intestines.

• Help Deal with Harmful

Bacteria Fructooligosaccharides are known to help deal with Clostridium perfringens, a toxic bacteria linked with food poisoning. Even research says that fructooligosaccharides are known to inhibit the activity of pathogens and promote the activity of beneficial bacteria.

• Great Source of Fiber

Fructooligosaccharides are a good fiber source. This natural fiber helps increase the size and weight of your stool and also softens it. And all this makes it easy to pass, thus preventing constipation. Even a study states that fructooligosaccharides help relieve or completely eliminate constipation.

• Help Reduce Blood Sugar

When you consume simple sugar, it is absorbed quickly in the bloodstream spiking your blood sugar levels. However, that’s not how it is with fructooligosaccharides. Fructooligosaccharides are non-digestible in nature thus prevent sudden blood sugar spikes, and also help reduce the risk of diabetes. Even a review of studies reported FOS’s ability to help balance blood sugar in humans. Researchers also found a linkl between FOS and reduced serum blood sugar levels.

• Improve Mineral Absorption

Poor nutrient absorption means the inability or impaired ability of your body to absorb nutrients. And this stops youl from getting all the benefits nutrient-rich foods offer, leading to nutrient deficiencies. However, fructooligosaccharides, according to research, help improve mineral absorption and thus protecting you from the risk of mineral deficiencies.

Fructooligosaccharides Applications

Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) have numerous applications as a low-calorie sweetener and prebiotic fiber in food, beverages, supplements, and animal feed, promoting gut health by encouraging beneficial bacteria growth. They are also used in the pharmaceutical industry for their health benefits, such as improving mineral absorption (calcium and magnesium), potentially lowering cholesterol and triglycerides, and modulating the immune system. In food products, FOS also function as a humectant to retain moisture, a bulking agent for texture and volume, and a viscosity modifier.

• Applications in Food and Beverages

Sweetener:
Fructooligosaccharides provides a sweet taste with fewer calories, serving as a natural alternative to sugar, especially in low-calorie and reduced-sugar products.

Prebiotic:
As a prebiotic, Fructooligosaccharides promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut, contributing to digestive health.

Functional Ingredient:
It can act as a humectant to keep foods moist, a bulking agent to add texture and volume, and a viscosity modifier to stabilize food formulations.

• Applications in Dietary Supplements and Pharmaceuticals

Nutraceuticals:
Fructooligosaccharides is a key ingredient in dietary supplements for its prebiotic properties.

Health Benefits:
Its use extends to aiding mineral absorption (especially calcium and magnesium), potentially lowering serum lipids and cholesterol, and activating the immune system.

Animal Feed:
Fructooligosaccharides is also incorporated into animal feed to support gut health in livestock and other animals.
