Fructo-Oligo-Saccharides (FOS) is a soluble prebiotic fiber that can be used to lower sugar and/or calories while increasing fiber and reducing bitterness. FOS is also digestion resistant.
FOS (Fructose-oligosaccharides) is a mixture of oligosaccharides (GF2, GF3, GF4) which are composed of fructose units connected by ß (2-1) links. These molecules are terminated by a fructose unit. The total number of fructose or glucose units (Degree of Polymerization or DP) of oligofructose ranges mainly between 2 and 4.
