Functional additives Galacto-Oligosaccharide 70% Powder

GALACTO-OLIGOSACCHARIDE

The GALACTO-OLIGOSACCHARIDE (GOSs) naturally occur in legumes such as lentils, chickpeas, and beans. Chemically, GOS are the elongation products of lactose transgalactosylase which is catalyzed by β-galactosidase. The resulting molecule consists of a varying degree of β-glycosidic linkages due to the multiple number of positions galactose chains can be hydrolyzed as well as branching glucose residues.

Bailong is the leading production enterprise of Fructo-Oligosachharide Powder 95% (FOS), Isomalto-Oligosaccharide Powder (IMO), Xylo-Oligosaccharide Powder and syrup (XOS), Polydextrose Powder and syrup, Resistant Dextrin Powder and syrup, Allulose Crystal and syrup and Galacto-Oligosaccharide Powder and syrup (GOS) in China. Those products can replace sugar and be applied in healthy food, functional beverages, baby food etc.

CHARACTERISTICS

The sweetness is 30-40% of sucrose, and the sweetness is soft and pure.

Under the same sugar content (75 Brix), the viscosity of GOS is slightly higher than that of sucrose.

GOS are relatively stable under high temperature and acid conditions.

Galactooligosaccharides are hygroscopic.

It has good heating colourability and storage stability.

The water activity of galactooligosaccharides is similar to that of sucrose.

Good acid heat stability, texture and flavor.

FUNCTIONS

Because of the configuration of their glycosidic bonds, GALACTO-OLIGOSACCHARIDE largely resist hydrolysis by salivary and intestinal digestive enzymes. Galactooligosaccharides are classified as Prebiotics, defined as non-digestible Food Ingredients as substrate for the host by stimulating the growth and activity of bacteria in the colon.
The increased activity of colonic bacteria results in various effects, both directly by the bacteria themselves or indirectly by producing short-chain fatty acids as byproducts via fermentation. The effects are stimulation of immune functions, absorption of essential nutrients, and synthesis of certain vitamins.

- Promote the reproduction of bifidobactirium and inhibit the breeding of pathogenic bacteria;

- Improve the function of intestine,enhance immunity and resist disease;

- Lower blood glucose and reduce blood cholesterol,and is a preferred food in patients with diabetes;

- Reduce the occurrence of oral ulceration;

- Resistant against tooth decay;

- Promote the absorption of minerals.
