BRIEF INTRODUCTION:

Fructo-oligosaccharide is made from sugar with biotech fermentation. It enjoys many valuable properties i.e. small dosage, cost-saving, high sweetness, low calorific value and wide application. Fit for human consumption. Free from any harmful or toxic substances. Free from foreign matter. FOS is a mixture of oligosaccharides (GF2, GF3, and GF4) which are composed of fructose units connected by ß (2-1) links. These molecules are terminated by a fructose unit. The total number of fructose or glucose units (Degree of Polymerization or DP) of oligofructose ranges mainly between 2 and 4.
