Are galacto-oligosaccharides and fructooligosaccharides the same?
With the development of society, everyone pays more and more attention to physical health and advocates healthy low-fat and low-sugar eating habits. Then, sugar substitutes have become the main substitute for sucrose in society, especially fructooligosaccharides, maltose-oligosaccharides, and oligosaccharides. Mainly galactose powder, mogroside, stevia powder, etc. Today, let’s learn more about the difference between galacto-oligosaccharides and fructooligosaccharides!
What is galactooligosaccharide?
Galactooligosaccharides powder is an essential intestinal flora substance for the human body. It is an essential nutrient for the human body. It is a prebiotic that can be used by the 8 major probiotics in the human intestine, including Bifidobacterium and Bifidobacteria in the human intestine. Lactobacillus acidophilus and other beneficial bacteria are excellent nutritional sources and effective proliferation factors, which can improve the digestion and absorption function of the human intestine and help maintain human health.
What is fructooligosaccharide powder?
Fructooligosaccharide powder FOS is a mixture of fructotriose, fructotetraose and fructopentaose formed by combining 1 to 3 fructose groups with fructose groups in sucrose through β(2-1) glycosidic bonds. Pure fructo-oligosaccharide is 0.3-0.6 times sweeter than sucrose. It has health functions such as regulating intestinal flora, proliferating bifidobacteria, promoting calcium absorption, regulating blood lipids and immunity, and anti-dental caries.
What is the source of galactooligosaccharide powder?
1. Lactose: Lactose is the main sugar component in milk and other mammalian emulsions.
2. Enzyme treatment: In order to produce galactooligosaccharide powder, lactose needs to be processed by enzymes to decompose lactose into monosaccharides and oligosaccharides.
3. Separation and extraction: After enzymatic treatment, lactose will be decomposed into shorter oligosaccharide chains, including oligodisaccharides, oligotrisaccharides, etc., and then through a series of separation and extraction steps, the oligosaccharides will be Lactose is completely separated.
4. Drying and packaging: After drying the galactooligosaccharide solution obtained by separation and extraction, pure galactose powder is obtained.
What is the source of fructooligosaccharides?
1. Fructose: Fructose is a natural simple sugar that is widely found in fruits, vegetables, honey and other foods.
2. Enzyme treatment: In order to produce fructo-oligosaccharide powder, fructosyltransferase is used to connect fructose molecules through a chain transfer reaction to form fructo-oligosaccharide molecules.
3. Separation and extraction: After enzymatic treatment, the fructose molecules will form fructo-oligosaccharides of different lengths, including disaccharides, tri-oligosaccharides, etc., and then undergo a series of separation and extraction to obtain fructo-oligosaccharides.
4. Dry packaging: The fructo-oligosaccharide solution obtained by separation and extraction is dried to obtain fructo-oligosaccharide bulk powder.
What are the benefits of galactooligosaccharide?
1. Easy to digest: Galacto-oligosaccharide has better absorption and digestibility for some people with sensitive digestive systems or lactose intolerance.
2. Promote probiotics: Galacto-oligosaccharide can provide nutrients for probiotics in the intestine, promote the reproduction of intestinal flora molecules, and effectively maintain intestinal health.
3. Control blood sugar: GOS powder is beneficial to the stability of blood sugar and can prevent the rise of blood sugar after meals. It is a good choice especially for diabetic patients.
4. Supplement nutrients: Galactooligosaccharides powder can provide energy and carbohydrates to the human body, help the human body replenish nutrients and maintain body functions.
What are the benefits of fructooligosaccharides?
1. Promote the growth of probiotics: Fructooligosaccharide powder can provide nutrients for probiotics in the intestines, inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, help the body improve immunity, and maintain the balance of intestinal flora.
2. Improve the problem of constipation: FOS powder can promote intestinal peristalsis, increase the volume of feces, make it easier for stool to pass through the intestines, and relieve constipation.
3. Control blood sugar levels: Fructooligosaccharide is a low-sugar substance that releases glucose slowly during digestion, which helps control blood sugar.
4. Increase nutrients: Fructooligosaccharides can provide the body with appropriate amounts of nutrients and support the body's health.
5. Regulate immunity: Bulk fructooligosaccharides can regulate the immune system, enhance the body's resistance, and promote the activity of immune cells.
So, what is the difference between galacto-oligosaccharides and fructooligosaccharides?
1. Different ingredients
Fructo-oligosaccharides are made from sucrose as raw material, and are composed of 1 to 3 fructose groups combined with the fructose groups in sucrose through β (2-1) glycosidic bonds to form fructose triose, fructotetraose and fructopentaose. mixture.
Galacto-oligosaccharide is an oligosaccharide produced using lactose as raw material and catalyzed by yeast or mold β-galactosidase, or lactase, at high concentration. Its main component is a trisaccharide 6-galactosyl Lactose, β-galactosidase can catalyze the hydrolysis reaction of lactose, and also catalyze the transfer reaction of lactose in the presence of high-concentration substrates. The product of the transfer reaction is disaccharide (galactosyl galactose), and no matter how large the molecule is, trisaccharide Some oligosaccharides.
2. Different taste
The sweetness of fructo-oligosaccharide is 0.3-0.6 times that of sucrose. It not only retains the pure sweetness of sucrose, but is also more refreshing than the sweetness of sucrose.
The sweetness of galacto-oligosaccharide is 20%-40% of sucrose. It has good thermal stability and is stable in acidic conditions. Its viscosity is close to sucrose and has good moisturizing properties. It is often used to make dairy products, dairy products, cold drinks, etc. Candy, nutritional oral liquid, etc.
3. Different effects
The most significant effect of fructo-oligosaccharide is that it can improve the population of microorganisms in the intestine. It is an activation and proliferation factor of intestinal bifidobacteria, inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria, regulates intestinal balance, and promotes the absorption and utilization of trace elements iron and calcium. GOS Powder can also reduce liver toxins and generate anti-cancer organic acids in the intestines, which has significant anti-cancer functions.
Galacto-oligosaccharide is an excellent nutrient source and effective proliferation factor for beneficial bacteria such as Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus acidophilus in the human intestine, which can improve the digestion and absorption function of the human intestine.
How to take fructooligosaccharide and galactooligosaccharide powder?
1. Taking galactooligosaccharide:
It is recommended to start taking galacto-oligosaccharide powder at a smaller dose. It is recommended to take about 5-10 grams per day. Galacto-oligosaccharide GOS powder can be added to drinks, yogurt, ice cream and other foods to make it more convenient to eat.
2. Taking fructooligosaccharide powder:
It is recommended to take about 5-10 grams of fructooligosaccharide powder every day. FOS powder can be added to juice, drinks, food, cold drinks, etc. for convenient and better consumption.
Which is better for digestion, fructooligosaccharide or galacto-oligosaccharide powder?
Both fructooligosaccharides and galactooligosaccharides bulk can increase the activity of beneficial bacteria in the intestines and promote intestinal health. Specifically, in the intestine, both fructooligosaccharides and galacto-oligosaccharides can be decomposed into short-chain fatty acids (such as butyric acid, propionic acid, acetic acid, etc.) by many types of probiotics such as Escherichia coli and Bifidobacterium. Fatty acids maintain intestinal function.
Fructooligosaccharide and galactooligosaccharide powder can also absorb harmful substances in the intestines, such as cholesterol, heavy metal ions, etc., reducing harm to the body.
