English name: XYLO-OLIGOSACCHARIDES
Xylo-oligosaccharides, also named as XOS, is a type of functional polymer sugar composed of 2-7 xylose molecules bonded with β (1-4) glycosidic bonds.
1.High selective proliferation of bifidobacterium
Its effect is 20 times of other polymer sugars; it can hardly be digested and absorbed, but directly enters large intestine and is preferably utilized by bifidobacterium to proliferate beneficial bacterium for human body and inhibit growth and proliferation of other harmful bacterium.
- Difficult decomposition by human digestive enzymes Digestion tests with salivary juice, gastric juice, pancreatic juice and intestinal juice show that, almost all of the digestive juices can hardly decompose xylo-oligosaccharides, which, with nearly zero calorie, does not affect glucose concentration, nor increase insulin in blood glucose and form fat deposition. It is especially applicable for those suffering from diabetes, obesity and hypertension.
- Sound acid and thermal stability
It is basically not decomposed after heated to 100℃ under acid condition (pH=2.5-8), which covers PH value of the vast majority of food system, and may be broadly applied in fields of food, medicine and health products. - Small effective intake:
Daily effective intake is 0.7-1.4g.
It can be used in medicine and health products: applicable for those who suffer from gastrointestinal disorder, diabetes, hypertension, obesity, arteriosclerosis and tooth decay
Food: table food, baked food, condiments, deserts and snacks, various canned food, candy
Drinks: various drinks, especially yogurt, lactic acid bacterium beverages, carbonic acid beverages and other acid drinks
