Galactooligosaccharides

Galactooligosaccharides (GOS) -a naturally occurring prebiotic oligosaccharide, is derived from lactose (milk sugar) through enzymatic transgalactosylation—an eco-friendly process that converts lactose into a soluble, non-digestible fiber. Unlike many synthetic prebiotics, GOS exists naturally in human breast milk, cow’s milk, and certain fruits (e.g., bananas, tomatoes), making it a "consumer-trusted" ingredient in the snack industry.

 As a prebiotic-GOS resists digestion in the upper gastrointestinal tract and reaches the colon intact, where it selectively stimulates the growth and activity of beneficial gut bacteria (primarily Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli). 

 Key Characteristics & Advantages for Snack Production Natural Origin - High Consumer Acceptance: GOS’s natural presence in breast milk and common foods eliminates "clean label" concerns—68% of global consumers prefer snacks with ingredients they recognize as "natural" (per Innova Market Insights 2024).
