Xylooligosacchride Powder (95%)

Xylo-oligosaccharide 95 powder is usually understood to be a powdered product with a xylo-oligosaccharide content of 95%.

I. Nature.

1. It is generally a white or slightly yellow solid powder with no visible impurities. It has a unique smell and no peculiar smell.

2. The sweetness is equivalent to about 40% of sucrose.

3. XOS 95 powder is difficult to be broken down by human digestive enzymes, and its energy value is almost zero. It does not affect blood sugar concentration, nor does it increase blood sugar insulin levels, and does not form fat deposits.

II. Functional characteristics.

Regulate intestinal flora: XOS 95 powder can effectively promote the proliferation of beneficial bacteria (such as bifidobacteria) in the human body, and has a significant inhibitory effect on harmful bacteria. It can promote the balance of microbial flora in the body, which is helpful to  improve intestinal function and prevent intestinal diseases.

Enhance immunity: The short-chain fatty acids and immune factors produced by beneficial bacteria during the growth and reproduction process can promote the health of the body’s immune system.

Promote nutrient absorption: XOS 95 powder can effectively increase the dry weight, length and bone calcium content of the femurs of rats (increase the absorption of calcium in rats and reduce calcium loss in rats), and add an appropriate amount of xylo-oligosaccharides to yogurt. It also significantly promotes the absorption and storage of minerals such as calcium, iron and magnesium in rats.

Other functions: XOS 95 powder also has the functions of lowering blood sugar, protecting the liver, preventing and protecting dental caries and inhibiting the growth of oral bacteria.

III. Application areas.

1. Food industry:

Xylo-oligosaccharide 95 powder can be used in beverages (especially acidic beverages such as yogurt, lactic acid bacteria beverages, carbonated beverages), foods (table dishes, cake dishes, seasonings, desserts, various canned foods, candy), etc. The addition of functional sweeteners and prebiotics can not only increase the sweetness, but also improve the health properties of the product.

XOS 95 powder can be added to various foods as a dietary fiber additive.

2. Feed industry:

Xylooligosaccharide 95 powder can be used as a feed additive to improve the intestinal health of animals, improve animal immunity and production performance.

3. Health products industry:

It can also be used to develop various health products that regulate intestinal flora, enhance immunity and other functions.
