What is oligofructose?

Fructo oligosaccharide (FOS) is a short-chain carbohydrate naturally found in many plants and is a type of prebiotic. It is composed of 2 to 4 fructose units and starts with a glucose unit to form a colorless or light yellow, transparent and viscous liquid or white amorphous powder. As a natural sweetener, oligofructose has the characteristics of low calories and low sweetness. Its sweetness is about 0.3 to 0.6 times that of sucrose. It not only maintains the pure sweetness of sucrose, but also has a refreshing taste. It cannot be directly absorbed by the small intestine of the human body, but can only be used by intestinal bacteria. Therefore, it has little effect on blood sugar and is suitable for diabetics and obese people.

Functions and Applications:

Food additives: Oligofructose is often used in juice, tea, yogurt and other beverages. It can not only improve the taste but also promote intestinal health, satisfying consumers' pursuit of healthy drinks. Especially in yogurt products, oligofructose, as a prebiotic, can work with probiotics to maintain the balance of intestinal microecology and enhance the nutritional value of yogurt. In baked goods and candies, it not only reduces the calories of the product, but also maintains the taste and flavor of the product. It can also regulate blood sugar, enhance immunity, etc., which can not only improve the taste but also ensure health.

Health care material: Oligofructose can be used to regulate intestinal flora, enhance immunity, assist in the production of health products such as lowering blood lipids. It can be used as a product for intestinal health problems, such as probiotic preparations, intestinal conditioning tablets, etc., often with oligofructose as one of the core ingredients. It can not only promote the growth of probiotics but also improve the intestinal environment and relieve intestinal problems such as constipation and diarrhea. Oligofructose indirectly enhances human immunity by regulating intestinal flora. Therefore, oligofructose also plays an important role in health products that enhance immunity. Oligofructose can reduce the levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in serum, which is beneficial to cardiovascular health. In lipid-lowering health products, oligofructose has also become an indispensable raw material.

Cosmetics materials: Fructooligosaccharides also have certain beauty effects. Adding it to cosmetics can inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria on the surface of facial skin, slow down pigmentation, dilute and eliminate spots, and have a good effect on skin health.

Introduction	Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) are functional oligosaccharides formed by fructose groups connected by β-glycosidic bonds, with a degree of polymerization of 2-9. It has good solubility and stability, and its sweetness is about 30%-60% of sucrose. It is not decomposed by human digestive enzymes and can be used as a prebiotic to promote intestinal health. As a natural and healthy sweetener, fructooligosaccharides have multiple functions such as improving intestinal flora, regulating blood lipids, enhancing immunity, preventing dental caries and assisting in anti-cancer. It has broad application prospects in the fields of food industry, health products and cosmetics.
Function	Improve intestinal flora: As a prebiotic, oligofructose can stimulate the growth of beneficial bacteria such as bifidobacteria and lactic acid bacteria in the intestine, inhibit the reproduction of harmful bacteria, and thus maintain the balance of intestinal microecology. This effect helps to enhance intestinal function, improve mineral absorption, and prevent intestinal problems such as constipation and diarrhea. Regulate blood lipids: Oligofructose has the effect of lowering blood lipids, which can reduce the content of cholesterol and triglycerides in serum, and is beneficial to cardiovascular health. This effect is achieved by improving the structure of intestinal flora and promoting organic acids and other substances produced by the metabolism of beneficial bacteria. Enhance immunity: Oligofructose can promote the formation of B vitamins and folic acid, improve the body's metabolism and immunity. At the same time, it can also reduce the accumulation of liver toxins and protect liver health. Prevent dental caries: Since oligofructose cannot be fermented by microorganisms such as mutagenic streptococci in the mouth, it has the effect of preventing dental caries. This makes oligofructose an ideal sweetener, especially for children. Auxiliary anti-cancer: Studies have shown that oligofructose can produce anti-cancer organic acids in the intestines, which has a certain auxiliary effect on cancer prevention. This discovery further broadens the application prospects of oligofructose.
