High Quality 100% Natural Stachyose Powder

   stachyose, which is an oligosaccharide that cannot be digested by humans. Specifically, stachyose is a tetrasaccharide with a galactose-galactose-glucose-fructose molecular structure。 Given that the digestive enzymes produced by the mammalian gastrointestinal tract can degrade only α-1,4 glycosidic bonds, stachyose is not broken down in the stomach or small intestine, but it is used by some beneficial bacteria in the intestine。 The end products of stachyose metabolism by these bacteria are short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs)。 which can promote the proliferation of gut bacteria and provide energy. Stachyose has been found to maintain the gut health.

  Stachyose is made from Stachys Sieboldii Miq (Chinese artichoke), totally natural, and stachyose is a kind of Dietary Fiber,can be food,beverage, animal / pet feed ingredients, and stachyose could be used as Sweetener.

The Physicochemical Properties of Stachyose

1.Stachyose is white powder in appearance and tastes fresh without peculiar smell,
2.Stachyose sweetness is 22% of sucrose sweetness,
3.It is easily soluble in water with a solubility of 130g(20ºC),it is different from organic solvents such as ether and ethanol,
4.The moisture retention and hygroscopicity are less than sucrose,but higher than high fructose syrup,
5.The osmotic pressure is almost the same with sucrose,
6.The melting point is 101ºC,the crystallization water is lost after vacuum heating to 115ºC,and the melting point of anhydrous stachyose is 167ºC~170ºC,
7.Stachyose has no reducibility.

Reference dosage of stachyose

1.Regulate intestinal flora balance:0.5~3 g per day,take it continuously for 15 ~ 30 days.
2.Regulate constipation:5~10 g per day for adult and 1~3 g per day for childred,take it continuously for 1~7 days.
3.Poultry feed production: Add 0.5~1.0% in the ration.
4.Pig feed production:Add 0.8~1.0% in the ration.
5.Aquaculture: Add 0.8~1.25% into the feed.
