Xylooligosacchride Powder (35%)

Xylo-oligosaccharide 35 powder is usually understood as a powdered product with a xylo-oligosaccharide content of 35%. Here are some information about it.

I. Basic information.

Ingredients: The main ingredient is xylo-oligosaccharide, a functional polymer sugar composed of 2-7 xylose molecules combined with β-1,4-glycosidic bonds.

Appearance: powdery.

II. Properties.

1. Stability. XOS has good acid and heat stability, and basically does not decompose when heated to 100 °C under acidic conditions (pH = 2.5-7). Compared with some other oligosaccharides, its stability is very outstanding, which makes it suitable for a wider range of applications and can maintain better activity under food processing conditions.

2. It is not easily decomposed by digestive enzymes and has almost zero energy value. It does not affect blood sugar concentration, nor does it increase blood sugar insulin levels, and is suitable for patients with diabetes, obesity and hypoglycemia.

III. Efficacy.

1. Regulate intestinal flora: XOS can highly selectively proliferate beneficial bacteria such as bifidobacteria and lactic acid bacteria, inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria such as pathogenic bacteria and putrefactive bacteria, maintain the balance of intestinal microecology, promote intestinal health, and prevent and improve constipation, diarrhea and other intestinal problems.

2. Strengthen immunity: After beneficial bacteria proliferate and their cell walls and extracellular secretions are absorbed by the body, they can stimulate the body’s immune system, enhance the body’s immunity and resistance, and help the body resist the invasion of pathogenic microorganisms.

3. Promote nutrient absorption: On the one hand, during the growth and reproduction process in the intestine, beneficial bacteria can synthesize a variety of vitamins such as folic acid, niacin, VB1, VB2, VB6 and VB12, etc. to provide vitamin nutrition for the body; on the other hand, XOS can promote the body’s absorption of nutrients such as calcium, zinc, iron and VD.

4. Other effects: XOS also protects liver function, lowers serum cholesterol, lowers blood pressure, prevents and protects dental caries, and inhibits the growth of oral bacteria.

IV. Application areas.

1. Feed industry:

As a feed additive, XOS 35% powder can regulate the intestinal flora of animals, enhance the immunity and disease resistance of animals, promote animal growth, improve the hygiene of the feed environment, and reduce fecal odor and environmental pollution.

2. Pharmaceutical and health industry: XOS can be used to develop health products or drugs related to gastrointestinal diseases, hypertension, obesity, atherosclerosis, dental caries, etc.

3. Food industry:

Used in dairy beverages such as milk powder, liquid milk, yogurt, lactic acid bacteria beverages, carbonated drinks, etc.
