Fructooligosachharide

Benefits :

• FOS Health is virtually undigested by the human digestive system so arrives in the colon unaltered, providing a food source for beneficial bacteria
• FOS Health has low calorific value.
• FOS Health increases the population of bifid bacteria in the colon.
• FOS Health acts as a non-digestible fiber in the diet and so can help relieve constipation.
• Enhance magnesium absorption
• Promote calcium absorption
• Food safety & Regulation

Details : Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) also sometimes called oligofructose or oligofructan, are indigestible carbohydrates made up of short chain of fructose. FOS is widely used as a natural soluble dietary fibers and alternative sweetener. It occurs naturally in plants such as onion, chicory, garlic, asparagus, banana, artichoke, among many others. Its commercial use emerged in the 1980s in response to consumer demand for healthier and calorie-reduced food.

FOS is becoming increasingly popular as a prebiotic and is now added to many types of processed foods in the US. You may already have come across this additive in the foods you buy. As a prebiotic, FOS is very similar in terms of properties to insulin.

Nutrition Facts :
FOS Health is not digested in the small intestine, so it passes to the large intestine, where it is broken down (fermented) by beneficial large intestinal bacteria into gases like hydrogen, and short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which are absorbed and can provide 1.5-2.7 kilocalories per gram FOS is mainly used as a sweeteners, taste enhancers or as “added fiber ”On the Nutrition Facts labels, FOS is included in the total carbohydrates under “dietary fiber.”

Usage and applications:
FOS Health can be added as a sugar substitute to “low-calorie foods,” or as a bulking agent or “added fiber” to nutritional bars and beverages, baby foods, biscuits, cakes, confectionery, milk, hard candies, ice cream, yogurt, jams, jellies, muffins, ready-to-eat cereals, sorbet, pre-prepared soups or other commercial foods.
