What are organic Xylooligosaccharides?
Organic Xylooligosaccharides (XOS) are certified organic, non-GMO prebiotic fibers derived from organic non-GMO corn cobs or sugarcane bagasse via enzymatic hydrolysis. These short-chain oligosaccharides selectively nourish beneficial gut bacteria (e.g., Bifidobacteria), enhance mineral absorption, and support immune function. Available in powder and syrup formats, they enable sugar reduction, texture enhancement, and clean-label claims in functional foods, beverages, and nutraceuticals.
