90% Galacto Oligosaccharides (GOS)Powder

What is Galacto Oligosaccharides (GOS)Powder?

Galacto Oligosaccharides (GOS) powder is a new type of functional substance, a type of functional oligosaccharide with natural properties. It is an important prebiotic in breast milk and a naturally occurring dietary fiber. It has a high content in emulsions, and its palatability, water solubility, and stability are good. Galacto Oligosaccharides is a low-energy carbohydrate. Compared with lactose and sucrose, oligogalactose contains β(1→6)β(1→4), β(1→3) galactoside bonds, which are not hydrolyzed by β-galactosidase in human digestive juice.

Studies have shown that not only is Galacto Oligosaccharides powder not digested and absorbed by the body's digestive system, but it can also proliferate probiotics, especially bifidobacteria, in the human intestinal tract when it enters the body. It also inhibits the growth of spoilage bacteria. Probiotics in the intestinal tract can produce a lot of extracellular polysaccharides while proliferating with oligogalactose. Extracellular polysaccharides not only have anti-tumor activity and immune activity but also promote the long-term colonization of probiotics in the intestine.

The 90%Galacto Oligosaccharides (GOS)Powder supplied by Green Spring Technology is made from lactose, prepared through enzymatic conversion and subsequent purification process, with high purity and uniform particles. Green Spring has a rigorous quality control process to ensure that quality standards are met. Each production step in the manufacturing process is monitored and tested to ensure that the production process is compliant and meets the requirements of the relevant countries. Green Spring has passed Halal, Kosher, COSMOS, BRC, IFS, FDA, ISO, and many other certifications. Authoritative third-party test reports are available.

Benefits:

Prevention and Treatment of Constipation

Bifidobacterium bifidum in the intestinal tract grows and proliferates after ingestion of Galacto Oligosaccharides (GOS)Powder. Oligosaccharides are fermented and decomposed into a large number of short-chain fatty acids (acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, etc.) and gas is produced. This lowers the pH of the intestinal tract and inhibits the growth and metabolism of harmful bacteria. At the same time, it stimulates peristalsis in the intestinal tract, increases the wetness of the feces, and maintains a certain osmotic pressure, thus preventing constipation from occurring. One study found that a trial of 14 women suffering from constipation with an average age of 79.6 years showed that constipation improved after two weeks when elderly people with poor bowel movements consumed 9g of Oligosaccharides Powder per day.

Improvement of Lipid Metabolism

Oligosaccharides (GOS)Powder has been found to improve lipid metabolism in both human and animal studies. It lowered serum total cholesterol concentrations while increasing the percentage of HDL in the serum. Study subjects were allowed to consume 6-12g of Oligosaccharides powder daily for 2 weeks to 3 months. Subjects showed a significant reduction in both total cholesterol and triglyceride levels and an increase in HDL-cholesterol. Upon cessation of ingestion, the ameliorative effect on serum lipids gradually disappeared and returned to the pre-ingested state.

Since the reduction in serum cholesterol levels is thought to be the result of a change in the balance of microflora in the gut, it can be assumed that Oligosaccharides (GOS)Powder promotes the growth and proliferation of Bifidobacterium bifidum, which controls cholesterol synthesis by affecting the activity of β-hydroxy-beta-methylglutaryl monoacyl-coenzyme A reductase, leading to a reduction in serum cholesterol levels.

Relief of Intestinal Inflammation

Oral consumption of drinking water containing a 10g/100mL Oligosaccharides (GOS) preparation can increase the number of anti-inflammatory flora. Reducing the number of pro-inflammatory flora, thereby potentially preventing the development of rectal cancer. Oligosaccharides relieves intestinal inflammation by safeguarding the integrity of the intestinal barrier primarily by promoting the expression of TJ proteins.

Applications:

For Infant Foods:

The addition of Oligosaccharides (GOS)Powder to infant formulas promotes the proliferation of beneficial intestinal flora and creates "breast milk-like" formulas for infants and young children. Galactooligosaccharides are naturally occurring in breast milk and are widely used in infant formulas around the world due to their multiple health benefits.

In Dairy Products:

Oligosaccharides (GOS)Powder has good solubility and can be easily added to dairy products such as yoghurt, skimmed milk and milk drinks. In yoghurt, GOS powder can be added before fermentation (plain yoghurt, curdled yoghurt) or after fermentation (sweetened or fruit yoghurt). In addition GOS powder has good stability and can also be added after mixing with fruit toppings beforehand. The addition of GOS increases the taste and smoothness of yoghurt.

In Beverages Field:

Oligosaccharides (GOS)Powder has good acid stability and solution clarification and can be used in juice drinks, breakfast drinks, soft drinks and syrups. It does not decompose when heated at low pH and high temperatures, making it an ideal ingredient for acidic and juice drinks. In addition, the slight sweetness of galactooligosaccharide powder does not significantly affect the taste and sweetness of beverages.

For Bakery Products:

The properties of Oligosaccharides (GOS) powder allow it to be used in the development of high-fiber, low-sugar, low-calorie bread or a variety of bakery products. the high-temperature resistance of GOS powder prevents it from disintegrating and failing during high-temperature baking and processing of bakery products, and its moisturizing properties help to prolong the shelf-life of bakery products.

In Candy Products:

Oligosaccharides (GOS) powder can partially or completely replace sucrose to achieve sugar reduction, low sugar, or even sugar-free products. It can also be used as a prebiotic or dietary fiber supplement to improve product taste and reduce food calorific value. Moreover, GOS is not digested and absorbed by the human body, and has the effect of preventing dental caries or causing elevated blood sugar.
