Fructooligosaccharide (FOS for short) is a very important type of oligosaccharides, also known as oligofructose, fructotriose family oligosaccharide or fructo oligosaccharide, which refers to the fructose residues in the sucrose molecule. It is a general term for sucrose, sucrose, sucrose and their mixtures, which are formed by connecting 1 to 3 fructose groups through β(2-1) glycosidic bonds.
★ APPLICATION
With the rise of the concept of green breeding, the addition of fructooligosaccharides in animal feed can improve the animal's intestinal flora and increase the immunity of the animal's body, thereby effectively controlling the use of antibiotics. At present, oligofructose has been widely used in feed for poultry, livestock, and aquaculture.
★ KEY FUNCTIONS
- Promote reproduction of Bifidobacterium
- Prevent hot-gas and related conditions
- Improve intestinal function and prevent constipation
- Enhance immunity and resist disease
- Promote the absorption of minerals
- Prevent tooth decay and reduce oral ulceration
- Beauty action and lower blood fat
★ PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
- Soluble dietary fiber with good solubility
- Good thermal stability under neutral conditions (no Maillard reaction)
- High water activity, inhibition of starch aging, prolonging shelf life
- Delicate taste, improves product flavor
- Good moisturizing, increases product crispness

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Fructooligosaccharide (FOS)?
FOS is a type of oligosaccharide (oligofructose) formed by fructose residues connected to sucrose through β(2-1) glycosidic bonds. It is a natural soluble dietary fiber.
What are the primary benefits of FOS 95 Powder?
It promotes the growth of beneficial Bifidobacterium, improves intestinal health, enhances immunity, prevents constipation, and helps in the absorption of minerals.
Is FOS suitable for animal feed applications?
Yes, it is widely used in poultry, livestock, and aquaculture feed to improve intestinal flora and reduce the need for antibiotics by strengthening natural immunity.
What is the shelf life and storage of the product?
The product has a shelf life of 3 years. It is typically packed in food-grade bags (25kg/bag) with pallets for secure transport.
How stable is FOS under heat?
It exhibits good thermal stability under neutral conditions and does not undergo the Maillard reaction, making it suitable for various processing environments.
What are its physical properties regarding taste and texture?
It has a delicate, good taste that improves product flavor. It also provides good moisturizing properties and can increase the crispness of food products.
