What is Fructooligosaccharides (FOS)?
Fructooligosaccharides Fos(FOS) is a mixture of oligosaccharides (GF2, GF3, GF4) which are composed of fructose units connected by ß (21) links. These molecules are terminated by a fructose unit. The total number of fructose or glucose units (Degree of Polymerization or DP) of oligofructose ranges mainly between 2 and 4. Fructo-oligosaccharide(FOS),is also known as food additives 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”.
