What are organic Xylooligosaccharides?
Organic Xylooligosaccharides (XOS), also known as Organic XOS Prebiotics, are low-calorie, plant-based oligosaccharides derived from 100% certified organic, non-GMO sources such as organic corn cobs, bamboo, or rice husks. Through enzymatic hydrolysis of xylan-rich biomass, this soluble fiber selectively nourishes beneficial gut bacteria (Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus), offering digestive wellness, immune support, and enhanced mineral absorption.
Certified USDA Organic, EU Organic, and Non-GMO Project Verified, XOS is a clean-label, vegan-friendly ingredient ideal for B2B manufacturers in functional foods, infant nutrition, and dietary supplements. With sweetness-neutral properties, high stability under heat/acidic conditions, and low glycemic impact, it is a versatile solution for sugar reduction, gut health claims, and clean-label innovation.
