Fructo-Oligosachharide (FOS) are composed of short fructose chains. They are a type of carbohydrate called oligosaccharides. Fructooligosaccharides are subtly sweet and low-calorie. They are nondigestible, so they don’t have an effect on blood sugar levels. FOS have also multiple health benefits. FOS are used primarily as a low-calorie, alternative sweetener. People can eat and drink products made with FOS instead of those containing sugar, which spike glucose levels in the blood, and cause weight gain. FOS may also be preferable to artificial sweeteners, some of which have been linked to everything from weight gain, to diabetes.
APPLICATION:
Fructo-Oligosachharide has a variety of superior physical and chemical properties and physiological functions. It is known as a 21st century healthy new sugar source with nutrition, health care and curative effect. Products with added fructooligosaccharides are more and more popular with consumers. At present, oligofructose has been widely used in dairy products, health products, functional beverages, solid beverages, cand, biscuits, bread, jelly and other food industries, feed industr, medicine, beauty and other industries. In Japan, oligofructose has been used as a bulking agent, sweetener, freshener and wetting agent, and France has also approved the use of oligofructose as an additive for pig and rabbit feed.
