Fructo Oligosaccharide

Description 

Fructo Oligosaccharide (FOS) (CAS 308066-66-2) is a soluble prebiotic dietary fiber naturally found in chicory root, onions, and bananas. This white to off-white powder supports digestive health by promoting beneficial gut bacteria and improving mineral absorption. With low calories, mild sweetness, and excellent solubility, FOS is widely used in food & beverage products, health supplements, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetic formulations.

What Makes Fructo Oligosaccharide Unique

Fructo Oligosaccharide is a short-chain oligosaccharide composed of 3–10 fructose units that functions as a highly effective prebiotic ingredient. Its non-digestible structure allows it to reach the intestines intact, where it selectively nourishes beneficial bacteria such as Bifidobacteria.

• Naturally occurring prebiotic fiber sourced from plants such as chicory root and bananas
• Supports the growth of beneficial gut microbiota for digestive balance
• Low-calorie ingredient with 30–50% the sweetness of sucrose
• Enhances calcium and magnesium absorption in fortified food products
• Excellent solubility and stability for food, supplement, and cosmetic formulations

Advantages of Using Fructo Oligosaccharides

• Digestive Health Support: Helps improve bowel regularity and promotes a healthier intestinal environment by supporting beneficial bacteria growth.
• Low-Calorie Sweetness: Provides mild sweetness with reduced caloric impact, making it suitable for reduced-sugar and diabetic-friendly formulations.
• Functional Food Ingredient: Commonly added to yogurt, bread, cereal, and functional beverages to enhance nutritional value and product appeal.
• Versatile Formulation Benefits: Works effectively in supplements, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetic products due to its stability and compatibility with other ingredients.
• Skin Hydration Support: Functions as a moisturizing ingredient in skincare formulations and helps support skin barrier repair.

Why Choose Fructo Oligosaccharide for Your Formulations?

Compared to traditional sweeteners and standard dietary fibers, Fructo Oligosaccharide offers both nutritional and functional advantages. Its prebiotic activity supports digestive wellness while maintaining low sweetness intensity and reduced caloric value. FOS also blends easily into powders, beverages, supplements, and skincare products without significantly affecting texture or formulation stability.
