Fructooligosaccharides are naturally occurring oligosaccharides found in many fruits and vegetables, produced commercially by enzymatic transfructosylation of sucrose or extraction from chicory root inulin. FOS consists primarily of kestose, nystose, and fructofuranosyl nystose.
As a recognized prebiotic, FOS selectively stimulates the growth of beneficial Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli in the colon. It supports digestive health and immune function. Its mild sweetness allows it to serve dual roles as both a sweetener and a functional fiber ingredient.
We offer FOS in both syrup and powder forms at various purity levels (55% and 95% FOS content). This enables manufacturers to formulate fiber-enriched beverages, dairy products, infant nutrition, and dietary supplements with validated prebiotic claims.
