Stachyose natural tetrasaccharide functioanl sugar

Stachyose

Stachyose can proliferate intestinal bifidobacteria and lactobacilli, and its metabolites, short-chain fatty acids, can provide power for intestinal peristalsis, greatly reducing the residence time of food residues in the intestinal tract, and have a certain effect on lead. Chelation ability, by promoting calcium absorption and inhibiting lead absorption, so as to achieve the purpose of lead discharge. 

Stachyose can be added to liquid food, such as lactic acid beverage, vinegar beverage, beer and other beverages, to develop new functional food, and the addition amount is small, the effect is remarkable, and the flavor of the original food will not be destroyed. It has active factors, can absorb toxic substances and pathogenic bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract, improve the body's disease resistance, and enhance immunity, so it can be widely used in medicine. When added to baked goods, it can maintain moisture and change the rheological properties of dough. Stachyose is not hydrolyzed by digestive enzymes, and its metabolism does not depend on insulin, which can meet the needs of special groups such as diabetes, obesity and hyperlipidemia. It can promote the body's absorption of calcium and magnesium, and can be used as an ideal raw material for developing food for pregnant women and the elderly.

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.

Function:

1. Relieve constipation and prevent diarrhea: 

Stachyose is a small molecule water-soluble Dietary Fiber, which is used by bifidobacteria in the large intestine to produce a large number of short-chain fatty acids and enhance the function of the intestinal tract. Also, there are numerous hydroxyl groups in stachyose, which has a strong role in absorbing water in the intestinal tract and has the effect of relieving diarrhea.

2. Protect the liver: 

Stachyose helps to reduce the absorption of ammonia into the blood through the intestinal canal by promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria and inhibiting harmful bacteria, thus avoiding ammonia poisoning, resisting cirrhosis and preventing hepatic encephalopathy.

3. Regulation of immunity: 

The α-1,6-galactose structure in the molecule of stachyose can participate in biological processes such as immunity, adsorption between pathogens and cells, which makes stachyose have the functions of preventing pathogen infection, neutralizing toxins and immune regulation system. In addition, under the action of bifidobacteria, stachyose can be decomposed to produce multiple immune function factors that improve human immunity, and has the ability to improve human immunity.

4. Promote lead excretion. 

Stachyose can greatly reduce the stay time of food residues in the intestinal tract, which can excrete the lead that enters the body through food and the complexed lead that enters the intestinal tract through bile; on the other hand, stachyose can greatly reduce the absorption of lead in the intestinal tract by promoting the synthesis of B vitamins.

5. Regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism: 

Taking regularly stachyose can significantly reduce the fasting glucose, triacylglycerol and total cholesterol levels.
