The Properties of Oligofructose (FOS)
The Properties of Oligofructose FOS 1. Digestibility and absorption of fructooligosaccharides: Traditional sweeteners ingested by humans, such as sucrose, are first decomposed by saliva and gastric juice, and then decomposed into monosaccharides by disaccharide hydrolase in the small intestine, and then absorbed and utilized by the body. Fructooligosaccharides are not easily broken down by saliva and gastric juice, so it is difficult to be absorbed and utilized in the small intestine. Experiments have shown that after normal people ingest oligofructose, their blood sugar level has hardly risen. 2. Fructooligosaccharide's activation and proliferation of beneficial bacteria in the intestine: Modern microecology studies have shown that the human body itself carries a large number of microorganisms, and more than 100 species of symbiotic bacteria weighing 1kg live in the human intestine alone. Humans have formed a wonderful and harmonious balance with these symbiotic bacteria durin
