Description

Fructo-Oligosaccharide Dp9 / Gf8 is a high-purity, short-chain fructan prebiotic fiber, specifically characterized by its degree of polymerization (DP) of 9 and a glucose-fructose (GF) ratio of 8. This compound is valued for its selective stimulation of beneficial gut microbiota, such as bifidobacteria and lactobacilli, without being digested in the upper gastrointestinal tract. It is a critical functional ingredient for manufacturers in the nutraceutical, functional food, and infant formula industries seeking to enhance the nutritional profile and health benefits of their products.

Application

• Prebiotic Supplement Formulation: As a core ingredient in dietary supplements, capsules, and powders designed to support digestive health and gut microbiome balance.
• Functional Food & Beverage Fortification: Incorporated into health drinks, yogurts, cereals, and baked goods to add fiber content and prebiotic functionality.
• Infant & Clinical Nutrition: Used in premium infant formula and medical nutrition products to mimic the prebiotic effects of human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs).
• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Serves as a stabilizer or carrier in certain pharmaceutical preparations due to its non-reactive and stable nature.
• Animal Feed Additive: Applied in premium pet food and livestock feed to promote intestinal health and improve nutrient absorption.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Utilized in skincare formulations for its potential moisturizing and skin microbiome-supporting properties.

Quality Control

Our Fructo-Oligosaccharide Dp9 / Gf8 is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for food, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, composition, and safety parameters are available upon request. We adhere to relevant guidelines including FCC (Food Chemicals Codex) and can support compliance with cGMP for regulated markets.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking and degradation.
