Product Description

Fructooligosaccharides are composed of glucose-(fructose)n with β?2→1 linkage between the fructose monomer units. The length of the fructose chain varies from 2 to 60 with an average degree of polymerization of >10. Fructooligosacchrides are resistant to hydrolysis by the intestinal enzymes, and have been shown to be indigestible by enzymes in the human small intestine but are fermented extensively by microflora in the lower digestive tract.
