Fructooligosaccharide
is an excellent water-soluble dietary fiber, which can effectively reduce the
amount of serum cholesterol, triglycerides, and free fatty acids. It is also a
natural active substance. The sweetness is 0.3-0.6 times that of sucrose. It
not only maintains the pure sweetness of sucrose, but also has a refreshing
sweetness than sucrose. Fructooligosaccharide has been used in dairy products, lactic
acid bacteria beverages, solid beverages, candies, biscuits, bread, jellies,
cold drinks and other foods due to its various superior physiological functions
and physical and chemical properties. It has been widely used in food, health
care products and other industries at home and abroad.

Properties
|
colorless powder.
|
Solubility
|
good solubility, the solution is colorless and
transparent.
|
Sweetness
|
The sweetness of fructooligosaccharides with a purity of 55%-60% is about 60% of that of sucrose, and the sweetness of fructooligosaccharides with a purity of 96% is about 30% of that of sucrose. It has the pure sweetness of sucrose, and is sweeter and purer than sucrose, without any aftertaste. |
Stability
|
The thermal
stability is higher than that of sucrose. Under neutral conditions, it is still
very stable at 120°C; under acidic (pH 3) conditions, the stability decreases
significantly after the temperature reaches 70°C. It is very stable in the
general food pH range (4.0-7.0) and can be stored at refrigerated temperature
for more than one year. Fructooligosaccharides are stable at 150°C and begin to
decompose at 160°C. Does not produce Maillard discoloration reaction. Fructooligosaccharides
have quite good thermal stability in neutral or near neutral environments.
In an environment
with pH>5, heating to 120°C is also relatively stable. However, when the
temperature exceeds 90°C when heated in an acidic environment with pH<4, the
oligofructose will be decomposed. Therefore, when producing acidic bifidus
factor foods, such as adding fructo-oligosaccharides to yogurt, it should be
added after the original high-temperature process, and after addition, it can
be stored only after pasteurization. |
Viscosity
|
In therange of 0-70℃, the viscosity of fructooligosaccharides is similar to corn high-fructose syrup, slightly larger than that of sucrose solution of the same concentration, and decreases with the increase of temperature. |
Moisturizing and hygroscopicity
|
The moisturizing
property of fructooligosaccharide is similar to that of sorbitol and caramel,
and its moisturizing property is higher than that of sucrose. Even in a low
temperature environment, the quality will not be greatly reduced due to dryness
like granulated sugar, and it has an excellent ability to retain moisture. It
is suitable for food with a long moisturizing time to ensure the shelf life of
the food; Good anti-mildew performance, can extend the storage period of feed;
low hygroscopicity, can slow down the mold and acidity of feed due to moisture
absorption. |
Crystallinity
|
It is difficult to crystallize. When combined with
other sugars, it also has the effect of preventing crystallization.
|
Water activity
|
Water activity is
similar to that of sucrose, but fructooligosaccharides are slightly higher. The
water activity of oligofructose G (G: 33%, GF: 12%, FOS: 55%) is equivalent to
that of sucrose, while the oligofructose P component(G: 2%, GF: 3%, FOS: 95%)
is slightly higher. |
Nutrition
|
not hydrolyzed by
human digestive enzymes, non-digestible and insulin-independent. Ingestion of
fructooligosaccharides can effectively reduce blood sugar levels during
fasting, so it is very suitable for diabetics and obese people.
|
Fermentability
|
Can not be fermented by oral microorganisms such as
Streptococcus mutans in the oral cavity, and can be used as a functional
sweetener for preventing dental caries.
|
Probiotics
|
Fructooligosaccharides
selectively promote the colonization of beneficial bacteria such as
Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium and Streptococcus in the digestive tract,
inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, improve the intestinal flora, and
indirectly achieve the nutritional and growth-promoting effects on the animal
body . Promote the formation of B vitamins and folic acid, can maintain the normal
function of the nervous system, promote digestion and metabolism; Intestinal
cleansing and detoxification, moistening the intestines and laxative,
preventing and treating constipation and hemorrhoids; Prevent rectal and colon
cancer; Reduce liver toxins and enhance human immunity. |
Other
|
Other processing characteristics: good solubility,
non-coloring, shaping, alkali resistance, aging resistance, etc.
