Xylo-Oligosaccharide

Xylo-oligosaccharide

Xylo-oligosaccharide (XOS) is a plant-derived prebiotic composed of 2–7 xylose units that supports beneficial gut bacteria, including Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli.

Xylo-oligosaccharide (XOS) is a plant-derived prebiotic composed of 2–7 xylose units and produced through enzymatic hydrolysis. It supports the growth of beneficial bacteria, including Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli, contributing to a balanced intestinal environment. XOS provides a functional ingredient option for manufacturers developing products focused on digestive health, nutrition, and microbiome support across a variety of formulations.

What Sets Xylo-oligosaccharide (XOS) Apart?

Xylo-oligosaccharide (XOS) is a plant-derived prebiotic composed of 2–7 xylose units and produced through enzymatic hydrolysis of materials such as corn cobs and birchwood. Its selective prebiotic activity supports beneficial intestinal bacteria, making XOS a valuable functional ingredient for microbiome-focused product development.

Key Benefits of Xylo-oligosaccharide

Prebiotic Functionality: Selectively supports beneficial bacteria associated with a balanced gut microbiota.
Digestive Health Support: Provides prebiotic functionality for products developed around digestive wellness and regularity.
Formulation Versatility: Can be incorporated into a variety of functional nutrition and wellness product concepts.
Mineral Nutrition Potential: May complement formulations designed to support the absorption and utilization of minerals such as calcium and iron.
Plant-Derived Ingredient: Provides manufacturers with a prebiotic sourced from plant materials through controlled enzymatic processing.

Why Consider XOS for Prebiotic Formulations?

XOS offers targeted prebiotic functionality at relatively low inclusion levels compared with some conventional dietary fibers. Its ability to selectively encourage beneficial bacteria makes it especially relevant for manufacturers developing microbiome-focused products where efficient formulation and prebiotic performance are important considerations.
