Galactooligosaccharide Syrup (57%)

Galactooligosaccharide Syrup (57%) usually refers to a premium liquid product with a highly concentrated galactooligosaccharide content.

I. Basic information.

1. Source and ingredients: Generally, lactose is used as a raw material and obtained by the action of β-galactosidase, which is a mixture of oligosaccharides in which galactose molecules are bonded with the galactose groups in lactose molecules. The main component is galactooligosaccharide, and it may also contain a small amount of lactose, water and other trace impurities.

2. Properties: It is usually in the liquid state, may have a certain viscosity, and the color is generally colorless or slightly yellow.

II. Functional characteristics.

1. Benefits for intestinal health.

1.1 Proliferation of beneficial bacteria: Galactooligosaccharide Syrup (57%) can selectively stimulate the growth and proliferation of beneficial bacteria such as Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus in the intestine, making the beneficial bacteria become the dominant intestinal flora, regulating the balance of gastrointestinal flora and supporting intestinal function.

1.2 Promoting intestinal peristalsis: Bifidobacterium ferments this prebiotic syrup to produce short-chain fatty acids such as acetic acid and lactic acid, which can promote intestinal peristalsis and improve intestinal propulsion motility, so that waste can be excreted from the human body in time, which helps maintain digestive regularity.

1.3 Formation of intestinal barrier: The acidic environment in the intestine formed by this functional ingredient can not only increase the number of beneficial bacteria, inhibit harmful bacteria and reduce the production of toxins, but also help maintain regularity by using its own water-retaining properties to form a protective barrier on the intestinal wall, supporting cardiovascular health.

2. Other health effects.

2.1 Low energy properties: The human body does not have the enzyme to hydrolyze oligosaccharides and cannot digest them, so it rarely generates heat and energy for the human body and is suitable for people who need to control their calorie intake.

2.2 Dental care support: This soluble fiber is neither used by streptococci in the oral cavity, nor is it decomposed by oral enzymes, and has the function of supporting oral health.

2.3 Immunity support: Galactooligosaccharide Syrup (57%) is not digested and absorbed in the human gastrointestinal tract, and goes directly to the large intestine, where it is used by bifidobacteria and other bacteria. The gut microbiota composed of beneficial bacteria acts as antigen stimuli, promoting the development and maturation of the immune system, supporting the body’s natural defenses.

III. Areas of application.

1. Food industry.

1.1 Infant formula: This prebiotic is often added as a nutrient enhancer in infant formula, infant formula for older infants and young children, and cereal supplements for infants and young children, which helps promote intestinal health and nutrient absorption. The nutritional value and development of infants and young children is of great importance.

1.2 Dairy products: It can be added to dairy products such as yogurt and milk to improve the taste and nutritional value of the products and increase their appeal to consumers.

1.3 Baked food: This versatile syrup is used in baked goods such as bread and cakes to improve their taste, texture and color, and its nutritional value is not lost when heated at high temperatures; in addition, because it has low energy and indigestible properties, it can support weight management.

1.4 Candy: As a functional sweetener used in the processing of candy, it can not only provide a certain sweetness, but also has the function of a prebiotic.

2. Health product industry: Galactooligosaccharide Syrup (57%) can be used to develop various nutritional and health products, such as supplements that regulate intestinal function and support immunity.
