Fructo Oligosaccharide Liquid 55

Product Introduction

Liquid fructo-oligosaccharides (Liquid FOS) is a liquid form of fructo-oligosaccharides, made of sucrose or natural chicory root, etc., through enzymatic hydrolysis, purification, concentration and other processes, retaining the prebiotic characteristics of the core of fructooligosaccharides, and at the same time, with the liquid advantages of "instant" and "easy to add", it shows higher application flexibility in the fields of food, health products, maternal and child care, especially suitable for dissolution efficiency, Scenes where the smoothness of the taste is highly demanding.

The core characteristics of fructooligosaccharide liquid revolve around "liquid form" and "prebiotic essence", which can be deeply understood from three aspects: raw material technology, physical and chemical characteristics, and specifications and standards

1. Raw materials and production process

The production process of fructooligosaccharides is centered on "retaining activity + improving fluidity", and the mainstream path is divided into two paths:

Natural extraction - concentration process: using chicory root, garlic and other plants rich in fructooligosaccharides as raw materials, through water extraction (low-temperature soaking to extract active ingredients), centrifugal filtration (removing plant residues), decolorization and desalination (adsorption of impurities, reducing ash content), vacuum concentration (concentrating the extract to 60%-75% solid content), the product retains natural plant flavor (such as faint chicory fragrance), no chemical additives, suitable for high-end natural food, maternal and infant product scenarios.

Enzymatic hydrolysis - refining process: using high-purity sucrose as raw material, adding β-fructotransferase for enzymatic hydrolysis (control the reaction temperature 35-45°C, pH 5.0-6.0 to ensure enzyme activity) to produce fructooligosaccharide mixture; High-purity liquid FOS is then obtained by chromatographic separation (removal of glucose and fructose from by-products) and vacuum concentration (adjusting the solids content to 70%-80%). This process has high output and controllable purity, and is the mainstream supply method in the market, suitable for health care products and industrial food addition.

2. Core physical and chemical properties

The liquid form gives the unique application advantages of fructooligosaccharide liquids, with the following key characteristics:

Solubility: without the dissolution process, it can be directly fused with liquid matrices such as water, milk, juice, etc., and there is no precipitation or stratification after fusion, and the solution transparency is high (turbidity ≤5 NTU), which solves the problem of slow dissolution of solid fructooligosaccharides in low temperature environment.

Sweetness and taste: The sweetness is 40%-50% of that of sucrose, the sweetness is soft and slightly refreshing, there is no "graininess" that may remain in solid products, and the entrance is smooth; At the same time, it has a certain "odor masking" effect, which can neutralize the slight bitter taste in dairy products and functional beverages (such as the fishy smell of vitamins and probiotics).

Stability: Shelf life can reach 12-18 months at room temperature (below 25°C) and sealing conditions; It has good stability in acidic environments (pH 3.5-7.5) and medium and low temperature processing (≤ 100°C, such as pasteurization, low-temperature baking), and is prone to slight browning (no efficacy) when exposed to high temperatures (>120°C) or long-term exposure to air.

Fluidity: The viscosity is moderate (500-1500 mPa・s at 25°C, which increases with the increase of solids content), which can be used through pipeline transportation and quantitative pump addition, which is suitable for industrial continuous production and reduces the difficulty of feeding and processing costs for food enterprises.

3. Specifications and quality standards

The core indicators of fructooligosaccharide liquid are "fructooligosaccharide content" and "solids content", and the common specifications are as follows:

Ordinary grade: fructooligosaccharides 50%-60%, solids content 65%-70%, containing a small amount of glucose, fructose (by-products), low cost, mainly used in feed additives, ordinary beverages (such as carbonated drinks, flavored water).

Food grade: fructooligosaccharide content ≥70%, solids content 70%-75%, in line with the requirements of the National Food Safety Standard Oligosaccharides (GB/T 23528), can be used in dairy products, baked goods, infant and young child complementary foods (need to comply with GB 14880 regulations).

Health grade: fructooligosaccharides ≥90%, solids content 75%-80%, impurities (such as ash ≤0.1%, heavy metals ≤0.1 mg/kg) are extremely low, and need to be filed through health product raw materials for probiotic preparations, gut health oral liquids and other products.

Application of the product

With the dual advantages of "function + convenience", fructooligosaccharides have been widely used in four major fields: food, health products, maternal and child care, and feed, and the specific scenarios and cases are as follows:

1. Food industry (largest application area).

The core of the application in the food field is "functional enhancement + taste optimization", especially for liquid and semi-liquid products

Dairy products:

Application: low-temperature yogurt, room temperature lactic acid bacteria drink, modified milk, cheese sauce;

Function: Synergizes with probiotics (improves the survival rate of probiotics, helps them resist stomach acid to reach the large intestine), and strengthens the selling point of "gut health"; At the same time, it improves the taste of dairy products and reduces the slight sour or fishy taste produced during fermentation.

Addition amount: Usually 1%-3% of the total product (e.g., 1-2mL of liquid FOS per 100mL of yogurt), in accordance with GB 14880.

Beverages:

Applications: Low-sugar/sugar-free beverages (such as tea drinks, fruit and vegetable juices, sparkling water), solid beverages (liquid after preparation), functional beverages (such as sports drinks, electrolyte water);

Function: Replaces part of the sucrose (reduces sucrose consumption by 30%-40%), reduces calories and GI values, and provides the additional function of "promoting intestinal motility"; Due to its good solubility, it will not affect the transparency and taste of the beverage;

Case: After adding liquid FOS to a brand of sugar-free tea drink, the label is marked with "contains prebiotics to help gut health", becoming a popular product in the health beverage market segment.

Infant food:

Application: infant formula milk powder (liquid milk), infant rice noodles, fruit puree, complementary food puree;

Function: Simulate the oligosaccharides in breast milk, help infants and young children establish intestinal microecology, reduce intestinal problems such as constipation and diarrhea; The liquid form is easy to integrate with complementary foods to avoid difficulty swallowing for babies;

Standard: It must comply with the "Infant Formula Food" (GB 14880), and when used in combination with galacto-oligosaccharides, the total addition amount ≤ 64g/kg (calculated according to solids).

Baking & Sauces:

Application: Soft bread, cake, jam, salad dressing;

Function: Replace part of the liquid sugar (such as syrup) in baking, increase the softness and moisturizing properties of the product (delay aging); Improves taste in sauces, reduces sweetness and greasyness, while providing prebiotic function;

Note: The baking temperature should be controlled at ≤100°C (such as low-temperature slow-baked soft bread) to avoid high temperature causing ingredient decomposition.

2. Health care product industry

The core of the application in the field of health care products is "precise function claims", and the product form is mainly "oral liquid and drops"

Product form:

Single-function oral liquid: with high-purity liquid FOS as the main ingredient (content ≥90%), adding a small amount of sweeteners (such as erythritol) and flavors, focusing on "improving constipation" and "regulating intestinal flora", suitable for people with intestinal dysfunction (such as the elderly, office people);

Compound preparation: compounded with probiotics (such as Bifidobacterium lactis BB-12) and dietary fiber (such as inulin) to make "probiotic + prebiotic" oral liquid, the label claims "double care for the intestines", suitable for people with weak immunity and postoperative recovery;

Drops: For infants and young children, people with difficulty swallowing, it is packaged in small doses of drops (each drop contains 0.5mL of liquid FOS), which can be dropped directly into the mouth or added to breast milk and milk powder, which is safer to use.

Market characteristics: Most of them adopt "blue hat" health product certification, emphasizing "clinical verification" (such as labeling "15mL per day, improving constipation rate by 80% in 2 weeks"), the price is higher than that of ordinary food, and the target audience is mid-to-high-end health consumer groups.

3. Maternal and child care

In addition to food, fructooligosaccharides have also been extended to maternal and child care products due to their "mild and non-irritating" properties

Application: Infant wipes, buttock cream, oral care solution;

Function: Adding liquid FOS to wet wipes can use its antibacterial properties (inhibiting Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus) to reduce harmful bacteria in contact with the baby's skin and reduce the risk of red buttocks. Added to buttock balm to form a protective film while regulating the skin microecology of the buttocks; Added to oral care liquid, it can inhibit oral caries-causing bacteria and prevent caries in infants and young children.

Advantages: Naturally fragrance-free, alcohol-free, pH close to baby's skin (5.5-6.5), does not cause allergies or irritation.

4. Feed industry

Similar to solid products, liquid FOS is mainly used in feed to "improve gut health for livestock and poultry", but is more suitable for liquid feed scenarios:

Applications: piglet liquid feed, aquaculture seedling feed (such as fish and shrimp seedling opening feed);

Function: Adding liquid FOS (0.5%-1% of the total feed) during the weaning period of piglets can reduce diarrhea caused by weaning stress and improve survival rate. Added to aquatic seedling feed can improve the intestinal flora of seedlings, improve feed utilization, and promote growth.

Advantages: easy to mix evenly with liquid feed, avoid uneven dosage caused by solid powder precipitation in water; At the same time, there are no drug residues, which is in line with the trend of "antibiotic-free breeding" and is suitable for the production of green livestock, poultry and aquatic products.
