Organic Fructo-oligosaccharide (FOS)
Organic fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) can be used as health food and food ingredients. It has low calorific value, no dental caries, promotes the proliferation of bifidobacteria, lowers blood sugar, improves serum lipids, and promotes the absorption of trace elements and other excellent physiological functions. Fructo-oligosaccharides are recognized by international nutrition scholars as “water-soluble dietary fiber with excellent indigestibility”

APPLICATIONS OF ORGANIC FRUCTO-OLIGOSACCHARIDES
Fructooligosaccharides can be used in lactic acid bacteria beverages, solid beverages, confectionery, biscuits, bread, jelly, cold drinks, soups, cereals and other foods. The addition of fructooligosaccharides not only improves the nutritional and health value of food, but also effectively prolongs the shelf life of various foods such as ice cream, yogurt, and jam.
