Food additive Diary products Galacto Oligosaccharides Powder

GALACTO-OLIGOSACCHARIDE

GALACTO-OLIGOSACCHARIDE , additionally called oligogalactosyllactose, oligogalactose, oligolactose or transgalactooligosaccharides (TOS), belong to the group of prebiotics. Prebiotics are defined as non-digestible food substances that beneficially have an effect on the host through stimulating the increase and/or activity of useful micro organism in the colon. GOS occurs in commercially available products including food for both babies and adults. It is a naturally occurring functional oligosaccharide found in trace amounts in the milk of animals, with higher levels in breast milk.

GALACTO-OLIGOSACCHARIDE (GOS) is a kind of natural property of functional oligosaccharides, and its molecular structure is typically galactose, or glucose molecules connected to the 1 ~ 7 Gal, the Gal-(Gal) n -Glc/Gal (n 0-6). In nature, animals, there are trace amounts of milk GOS, and were more content in breast milk, infant Bifidobacterium flora in the body to establish a large extent dependent on the GOS ingredient in breast milk. Galacto-oligosaccharide is the only 8 can be a great human intestinal bacteria for their use.

FUNCTIONS

Regulate intestinal flora, which can be used by eight beneficial bacteria in human body

Fermentation produces antibacterial substances, inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria, and increases immunity

Galactooligosaccharides can soften stool and increase defecation frequency

Promote the production of vitamins and folic acid, which is beneficial to health

Prevent constipation, reduce human blood pressure, and improve lactose intolerance

Increase the activity and content of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and fight against aging

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
