Galacto Oligosaccharides Powder 70%

What is Galacto Oligosaccharides Powder?

Galacto oligosaccharides powder is a straight-chain or branched oligosaccharide formed from lactose as raw material, by the action of β-galactosidase, by 2-9 galactosyl and 1 terminal glucose through β-1,3, β-1,4, β-1,6 glycosidic linkage. Oligogalactose has good water solubility, and its sweetness is 0.3-0.6 times of sucrose. It is acid- and heat-resistant, and will not be denatured if kept at pH 3 and 160 ℃ for 15 min.

It has been shown that different sources of β-galactosidase directly affect the degree of polymerisation of oligogalactose, the type of glycosidic bond and the yield of oligo galactose. Changes in the degree of polymerisation and type of glycosidic bond determine the structure, active behavior, and prebiotic properties of oligogalactans. β-1,6 and β-1,3 glycosidically linked oligogalactans exhibit strong prebiotic properties.

Galacto Oligosaccharides(GOS) are an excellent nutrient source and effective proliferator for beneficial bacteria such as bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus acidophilus in the human intestinal tract. It can improve the digestion and absorption function of the human intestinal tract. Therefore, in many countries, it is mandatory to add galacto oligosaccharides powder in infant milk powder, and oligo galactose is also more used in functional foods and health care products for nutrient absorption, dietary fiber, and intestinal regulation.

The 70% galacto oligosaccharides powder supplied by Green Spring is enzymatically synthesised, which is made from a high concentration of lactose or whey and catalyzed by beta-galactosidase. Green Spring has established a perfect traceability system, all products can be traced, and each product from the source to the finished product has a detailed test, and production report, to ensure that every link in the production process can be controlled and checked.

All the products we provide implement the highest international industry standards, in line with the EU EC396, EU 2023/915 standards, the European Pharmacopoeia, the U.S. Pharmacopoeia, the Japanese Pharmacopoeia and other standards. Green Spring has passed Halal, Kosher, COSMOS, BRC, IFS, FDA, ISO and many other certifications. Authoritative third-party test reports are available.

Benefits:

Improving Gut Flora

Galacto Oligosaccharide may improve gut flora.In 2018, Professor Gibson from the University of Reading in the UK found that galacto oligosaccharide powder directly improve gastrointestinal symptoms and may be used to treat gastrointestinal conditions such as bloating, gas and abdominal pain.

Promote Intestinal Peristalsis

Galacto Oligosaccharide can promote intestinal peristalsis and enhance the propulsive movement of the intestinal tract so that harmful substances can be eliminated from the human body in a timely manner. Firstly, Galacto oligosaccharide can be used as a highly efficient nutrient for bifidobacteria and other beneficial bacteria, so that bifidobacteria and other beneficial bacteria in the human intestinal tract can proliferate rapidly, re-establishing and restoring the micro-ecological balance of the intestinal tract, and improving the function of the intestinal tract.

Secondly, bifidobacteria ferment oligosaccharide to produce short-chain fatty acids such as acetic acid and lactic acid (PH about 5.0). It promotes intestinal peristalsis, and intestinal propulsive motility is enhanced. In addition, Galacto oligosaccharide has strong water absorption, which can increase the water content in the stool and make it easy to be excreted.

Immune Regulation

The gastrointestinal tract is one of the body's immune organs. The beneficial bacteria enriched by Galacto oligosaccharide and their cleavage products can activate lymphocytes and increase antibody production.

Improvement of Serum Lipids

Numerous studies have shown that intake of Galacto oligosaccharide powder can reduce serum cholesterol levels, with an intake of 6-12g of Galacto oligosaccharide powder per day for 2 weeks to 3 months resulting in a reduction in total cholesterol of 20-50dl. Lactobacillus and its fermented dairy products, including Bifidobacterium bifidum, can reduce total serum cholesterol levels and increase the ratio of HDL cholesterol in the serum of the human body.

Applications:

In Dairy Product:

Naturally occurring in breast milk, Galacto oligosaccharide powder is an ideal ingredient for infant formula and adult milk, and low levels of GOS (2.4 g /L) in infant formula have been reported to promote the growth of intestinal bifidobacteria and lactobacilli. Due to its good solubility, galactooligosaccharide powder can also be added to dairy products such as milk, yoghurt, buttermilk and dairy beverages. In yoghurt, galactooligosaccharides GOS can be added before (curdled or plain yoghurt) or after fermentation (sweet or fruit yoghurt), and it is also able to be used in pre-mixes with fruit preparations because of its high stability in acidic environments.

For Bakery Products：

Galacto oligosaccharide powder has the properties of low calorie and high moisture retention, which make it an ideal ingredient for baked food. It can improve the flavour, texture and colour of baked food, and its nutritive value will not be lost in the process of high-temperature heating, it can also prolong the shelf-life of the baked food, so it is widely used in baked food such as bread, which is high in fibre, low in sugar and low in calorie.

In Beverage Field:

Galactooligosaccharide solutions are colorless and odorless and are therefore widely used in fruit juices, juice drinks, breakfast drinks, and soft drinks, and can also be added with other product ingredients. Galacto-oligosaccharides(GOS) does not fail at high temperatures and in acidic conditions, making it an ideal ingredient for acidic beverages.

In Pharmaceutical:

Galactooligosaccharidecan be utilized by bifidobacteria in the intestinal tract and can hardly be utilized by harmful bacteria. People suffering from intestinal disorders taking Galacto oligosaccharides powder can greatly shorten the course of medication and avoid the toxic side-effects of taking medication. Because of its low energy and non-digestibility, oligogalactose can also effectively reduce the occurrence of obesity. Therefore, Galacto oligosaccharides powder is also used in the field of medicine.
