Galactooligosaccharide Syrup (57%)

Galactooligosaccharide 57 liquid usually refers to a liquid product with a galactooligosaccharide content of 57%.

I. Basic information.

1. Source and ingredients: Generally, lactose is used as 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 may also contain a small amount of lactose, water and other trace impurities.

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

II. Functional characteristics.

1. Benefits for intestinal health.

1.1 Proliferation of beneficial bacteria.

Galacto-oligosaccharide 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 improving intestinal function.

1.2 Promoting intestinal peristalsis.

Bifidobacterium ferments galacto-oligosaccharides 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 harmful substances can be excreted from the human body in time, which helps prevent and relieve constipation.

1.3 Formation of intestinal barrier.

The acidic environment in the intestine formed by galacto-oligosaccharide can not only increase the number of beneficial bacteria, inhibit harmful bacteria and reduce the production of toxins, but also prevent constipation by using its own water-retaining properties to form a barrier on the intestinal wall, preventing the absorption of toxins into the bloodstream and maintaining 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 galacto-oligosaccharides, 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 cariesprevention: Galacto-oligosaccharide is neither used by streptococci in the oral cavity, nor is it decomposed by oral enzymes, and has the function of preventing dental caries.

2.3 Immunityenhancement: Galacto-oligosaccharide 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, enabling the body to acquire resistance to many pathogenic bacteria and their toxic products.

III. Areas of application.

1. Food industry.

1.1 Infant formula: Galacto-oligosaccharides are often added as nutrient enhancers in infant formula, infant formula for older infants and young children, and cereal supplements for infants and young children, which help promote intestinal health and nutrient absorption in infants and young children. The nutritional value and development of infants and young children is of great importance.

1.2 Dairy products: GOS 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: Galacto-oligosaccharide 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 reduce the occurrence of obesity.

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 prebiotic.

2. Health product industry.

GOS syrup can be used to develop various nutritional and health products, such as health products that regulate intestinal function, enhance immunity, etc.
