Functional Bifidus Factor FOS 95%
Fructo-oligosaccharide（FOS）is also known as Fucto-oligo, it directly enters into large intestine without being digested and absorbed by human body, and in intestine it rapidly promotes reproduction of bididobactirium and other probiotics, so it is also called “Bifidus Factor”.
FOS's Viscosity is slightly lower than sucrose solution and the Water activity is slightly higer than sucrose at the same temperature and concentration (NOTE:Under 25℃, the water activity of sucrose saturated solution is 0.85) . It is stable to heat under neutral conditions and easy to decompose under acid heat conditions . It is slightly inferior to surose in colorability , and it has a strong moisture absorption .
PHYSICAL PROPERITIES :
Soluble dietary fiber , good solubility
Good thermal stability under neutral condition , no maillard reaction
High water activity ，inhibition of starch aging , prolonging shelf life
Good taste ，delicate taste , improving product flavor
Good moisturizing , increasing product crispness
Application:
Fructo oligosaccharide has a variety of superior physical and chemical properties and physiological functions. It is known as a 21st century healthy new sugar source with nutrition, health care and curative effect. Products with added fructooligosaccharides are more and more popular with consumers. At present, oligofructose has been widely used in dairy products, health products, functional beverages, solid beverages, cand, biscuits, bread, jelly and other food industries, feed industr, medicine, beauty and other industries. In Japan, oligofructose has been used as a bulking agent, sweetener, freshener and wetting agent, and France has also approved the use of oligofructose as an additive for pig and rabbit feed.
