Fructo-oligosaccharide (FOS), using sucrose as a raw material, is also known as Fructo-oligo. It enters the large intestine directly without being digested and absorbed by the human body. In the intestine, it rapidly promotes the reproduction of bifidobacteria and other probiotics, which is why it is widely referred to as the "Bifidus Factor."
As a functional factor, FOS can be applied to dairy products, beverages, candy cakes, livestock feeds, meat products, and aquatic food products. Moreover, FOS is an ideal food ingredient choice for patients with diabetes.
