What are organic Xylooligosaccharides?
Organic Xylooligosaccharides, also known as XOS, are functional polymerized sugars composed of 2-7 xylose molecules combined with β-1,4 glycosidic bonds. The main components are xylobiose, wood santang, and wood Four sugars. Compared with the commonly used soybean oligosaccharides, fructooligosaccharides, isomaltooligosaccharides, etc., it has unique advantages. It can selectively promote the proliferation activity of intestinal bifidobacteria. The function of its Bifidus factor is 10-20 times that of other polymerized sugars, and it is a healthy food that balances the micro-ecological environment in the intestinal tract.
