Xylooligosaccharide

Characteristic

Xylooligosaccharide is functional polysaccharide formed by connecting 2-7 xylose molecules with β-1, 4-glucosidic bond. It’s kind of high-efficient pribiotics.

Four key characters

  1. Proliferate bifidobacteria with high selectivity: the function is 10~20 times compared with other oligosaccharide, and it could be utilized by bifidobacteria prior, proliferate beneficial and inhibit breeding and reproduction of harmful bacteria.
  2. Hardly decomposed by human digestive enzyme : Digestive examination with spit, gastric juice, pancreatic juice and small intestine enzyme juice show
    that every kind of digestive juice can not decompose the XOS, the energy is almost 0. It is neither influencing blood sugar density nor increasing the insulin of the blood sugar and can not form fats deposit. especially fits those who have obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure and so on.
  3. High stability against acid and heat: XOS is stable at PH=2.5~ 8, 100 °C, covering the processes for mostly food.
  4. Effective intake: lowest effective dosage:0.4g/d
