The role and wide application of oligofructose

Fructo-oligosaccharide is a "sweet factor" that is very friendly to health. It exists naturally in many fruits and vegetables such as bananas, garlic, wheat, onions, and potatoes. Oligofructose is extracted from sucrose.

Fructo-oligosaccharide has clear health functions and is an excellent food ingredient. It has low caloric value, no caries, promotes the proliferation of bifidobacteria, lowers blood sugar, improves serum lipids, and promotes the absorption of trace elements.

It is not hydrolyzed by human digestive enzymes, that is, it cannot be digested by the human body and will not cause insulin fluctuations. Intake can effectively reduce fasting blood sugar levels, so it is very suitable for diabetic patients and obese people.

Fructo-oligosaccharide selectively promotes the colonization of beneficial bacteria such as lactobacillus, bifidobacterium and streptococcus in the digestive tract, inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria, improves intestinal flora, and indirectly achieves nutritional and growth-promoting effects on animals. Including: promoting the formation of B vitamins and folic acid, promoting digestion and metabolism; cleansing the intestines, detoxifying, moisturizing the intestines, preventing and treating constipation and hemorrhoids; preventing rectal and colon cancer; reducing liver toxins and enhancing human immunity.

Oligofructose is recognized by the governments of more than 200 countries and regions and is widely used in food, health care, medicine, cosmetics, feed and other fields. In China, oligofructose is approved by the government as a "health food", "food ingredient" and "nutritional enhancer".
