Description

Nistose CAS NO 13133-07-8 is a fructooligosaccharide (FOS) composed of three fructose units linked by β-(2→1) glycosidic bonds, serving as a key prebiotic fiber. This compound is valued for its selective stimulation of beneficial gut microbiota, such as bifidobacteria and lactobacilli, promoting digestive health and metabolic benefits. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the nutraceutical, functional food, and pharmaceutical industries for formulating dietary supplements, infant nutrition, and health-promoting food products.

Application

• Prebiotic Supplement Formulation: As a core ingredient in capsules, tablets, and powders to support gut microbiome balance and digestive health.
• Functional Food & Beverage Fortification: Incorporated into health drinks, yogurts, cereals, and snack bars to enhance dietary fiber content and prebiotic value.
• Infant & Clinical Nutrition: Used in specialized infant formula and medical nutrition products to mimic the prebiotic effects of human milk oligosaccharides.
• Pharmaceutical Excipient & Carrier: Employed as a functional carrier or stabilizer in drug delivery systems due to its biocompatibility and solubility.
• Animal Feed Additive: Applied in premium pet food and livestock feed to improve gastrointestinal health and nutrient absorption.
• Research & Diagnostic Reagent: Serves as a standard or substrate in biochemical research, enzymatic studies, and analytical method development.

Quality Control

Our Nistose is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency. Each lot is tested against rigorous specifications, including identity, assay, and impurity profiles. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting purity (typically ≥95% by HPLC), residual solvents, and microbiological limits is provided with every shipment. We support compliance with relevant standards for food-grade and nutraceutical ingredients.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the storage area must have low humidity to prevent caking and maintain stability. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
