Application of LOSWIFT™Lactulose in Nutritional and Other Beverages
What is LOSWIFT™Lactulose?
Natural Sweetness, Enhanced Performance
LOSWIFT™Lactulose is produced by the isomerization of lactose under alkaline heating conditions. LOSWIFT™Lactulose contains four types of sugars: LOSWIFT™Lactulose (also known as Lactulose syrup, galactosyl-fructoside), lactose, galactose, and fructose. The functional component is LOSWIFT™Lactulose. The physiological functions and value of LOSWIFT™Lactulose as a food additive have been increasingly recognized, and it has been widely used in clinical treatment of constipation and hepatic encephalopathy. In recent years, it has been developed for various applications in the food field.
LOSWIFT™Lactulose is manufactured from lactose as raw material and is a mixed sugar solution with LOSWIFT™Lactulose as the main component, called lactulose solution. Currently commercially available lactulose solution contains over 50% lactulose, about 30% moisture, with other components being residual raw material lactose and a series of decomposition products such as fructose and galactose.
As a naturally occurring prebiotic carbohydrate, it has become a disruptive functional ingredient in the food industry, offering unique benefits beyond simple sweetness.
Health Benefits
Improves Gut Function
As an excellent prebiotic, it can significantly promote bifidobacteria proliferation, improve gut microecological environment, and relieve constipation.
Enhances Immunity
By regulating gut flora balance, it enhances gut mucosal barrier function and improves body immunity.
Promotes Mineral Absorption
Can promote the absorption of calcium, magnesium, and other minerals, contributing to bone health.
Reduces Blood Cholesterol
Some studies suggest that long-term intake may help reduce serum cholesterol levels and improve lipid metabolism.
Application Advantages
Significant Prebiotic Effect
Can selectively promote the proliferation of beneficial gut bacteria, improving gut microecological balance.
Good Solubility
Easily dissolves in water, can quickly dissolve in various beverage matrices, facilitating production processing.
Low Sweetness
Sweetness is approximately 50-70% that of sucrose, suitable for nutritional beverages requiring sugar control.
High Safety
Widely used in clinical treatment with fully verified safety, suitable for various populations.
