Xylo-Oligosaccharide Powder food health nutrition supplement

Xylo-oligosaccharides

XOSs are mixture of oligosaccharides like xylobiose, xylotriose, and xylotetrose containing xylose residues linked by α1–4 bonds, naturally found in various food sources like milk, honey, vegetables, fruits, and bamboos shoots. XOS has positive effects on consumption, it may lead to nourishment of endogenous Bifidobacterium species and production of SCFAs in rat studies. The functional and complete utilization of XOS is based on the activities of verity of enzymes like β-xylosidase, acetyl esterases, α-glucuronides released by different strains of rumen bacteria and producing SCFAs like acetic acid, propionic acid, and butyric acid. XOS administration in rats on high-fat diets causes reduction in lipid level and noticeable drop in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and total cholesterol and significant increase in high-density lipoprotein (HDL). In addition, stimulation of bifidogenic bacteria and other Lactobacilli results in propionate and other acids production, promote insulin synthesis through glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) for the stimulation and glycogenesis and inhibition of lipolysis.

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.

FUNCTIONS

1. Immune Modulation Effects: 

Xylo-oligosaccharides is thus suggested to be an immunomodulator to prevent adverse immune-related conditions. XOS feeding significantly decreased expression of IL-1β and IFN-γ and attenuated systemic inflammation.

2. Anti-tumor Effects: 

The main causes of cancer are the uncontrolled proliferation of abnormal cells which may stay at the point of mutation or metastasize into other locations. It has been shown that XOS exposure showed effect in preventing cancer. 

3. Antioxidant Effects: 

XOS had exhibited strong antioxidant and free radical scavenging activity, thus suggesting a potential use in biomedical applications. 

4. Growth Performance of Animals: 

XOS have been used for animal nutrition and health improvement due to their potential biological functions, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects. 

5. Nutrient Digestibility and Intestinal Morphology of Animals: 

The use of an appropriate level of XOS may be important for increasing intestinal health and function.

APPLICATIONS

1. Medicines and healthcare products: Gastrointestinal dysfunction, diabetes, hypertension, obesity, arteriosclerosis, dentalcaries.

2. Dairy drinks: Milk powder, liquid milk, yoghourt, sour milk beverage, sodas

3. Foods: Table foods, baked goods, condiments, desserts, canned foods, candies 

4. Feeding: As a feed additive which can reduce the use of antibiotics
