Description

Fructooligosaccharide CAS NO 223122-07-4 is a prebiotic dietary fiber composed of short chains of fructose molecules. This functional ingredient is valued for its selective stimulation of beneficial gut microbiota, promoting digestive health and supporting immune function. It is a key component for manufacturers in the nutraceutical, functional food, and animal feed industries seeking natural, low-calorie sweeteners and health-promoting additives.

Application

• Nutraceuticals & Dietary Supplements: Used as a prebiotic ingredient in capsules, tablets, and powders to support gut health and enhance mineral absorption.
• Functional Foods & Beverages: Incorporated into yogurts, cereals, health drinks, and baked goods to boost fiber content and provide a mild sweetness without significantly raising blood sugar levels.
• Infant Formula: Added to mimic the prebiotic oligosaccharides found in human breast milk, supporting the development of a healthy infant gut microbiome.
• Animal Nutrition: Used in feed for poultry, swine, and aquaculture to improve gut health, enhance nutrient utilization, and reduce the need for antibiotics.
• Pharmaceuticals: Serves as an excipient or active ingredient in formulations targeting gastrointestinal health and as a stabilizer in certain drug delivery systems.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Utilized in skincare products for its potential moisturizing and skin-conditioning properties.
