Galactooligosaccharide Powder (57%)

I. Properties.

1. Galacto-oligosaccharide 57% powder has good water solubility and dissolves well in water, so it can be easily added and mixed into various products.

2. The sweetness of GOS is about 20-40% of that of sucrose. It has a sweet taste and provides a certain sweetness without excessive calories.

3. Galacto-oligosaccharide has a certain stability to acid and heat. It is not easy to decompose in a certain acidic environment and heat conditions, and can adapt to some common process conditions in food processing.

II. Purposes.

1. Food field.

1.1 Dairy products: Galacto-oligosaccharides can be added to infant formula milk powder to simulate the oligosaccharide components in breast milk, promote the growth and proliferation of beneficial bacteria such as bifidobacteria in the intestines of infants and young children, and help improve intestinal flora, and improve children’s ability to digest and absorb nutrients and enhance immunity. It can also be used in ordinary milk, yogurt, etc. to improve their nutritional structure and taste.

1.2 Baked foods: Such as in bread, cake, etc., galacto-oligosaccharide can increase the moisture content of the product, extend the shelf life and improve the taste and texture, making it softer and more delicious, eliminating the use of traditional sugars such as sucrose and reducing the cost of product heating.

1.3 Candy: As a functional sweetener added to candy, galactooligosaccharide can not only provide a certain sweetness but also reduce the risk of dental caries, so it is suitable for the production of children’s candy.

2. Health product field: GOS 57% powder can be used to produce various health products that regulate intestinal function and enhance immunity, such as probiotic supplements, etc., which can act synergistically with other probiotics or prebiotics to better promote intestinal health.

3. Feed field: Adding galactooligosaccharide to animal feed can improve the intestinal microecological environment of animals, increase the animal’s digestion and absorption rate of feed, promote the animal’s growth and development, increase the animal’s disease resistance, and reduce the use of antibiotics.
