GALACTO-OLIGOSACCHARIDE (GOS) are oligosaccharides formed by β-galactosidase transgalactosylation. GOS is an indigestible food component that can pass through the upper gastrointestinal tract relatively intact and ferment in the colon to produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) that further regulate the body’s intestinal flora. GOS and other prebiotics are increasingly recognized as useful food tools for regulating the balance of colonic microbiota-human health.

Galactooligosaccharide ( GOS) is a kind of natural property of functional oligosaccharides, and its molecular structure is typically galactose, or glucose molecules connected to the 1 ~ 7 Gal, the Gal-(Gal) n -Glc/Gal (n 0-6). In nature, animals, there are trace amounts of milk GOS, and were more content in breast milk, infant Bifidobacterium flora in the body to establish a large extent dependent on the GOS ingredient in breast milk.Galacto-oligosaccharide is the only 8 can be a great human intestinal bacteria for their use.
