Project Description
Description
Fructo-oligosaccharides, also known as sugarcane fruit oligosaccharides, is a mixture of sugarcane fructose triose, sugarcane fructose tetrasaccharide and sugarcane fructose produced by the combination of three fructose groups through β (2-1) glycosidic bond with fructose group in sucrose. There are about 60-70 grams of inulin in 100 grams of dry weight Jerusalem artichoke. Inulin is a fructan connected by a linear β-2 ~ (1-glucoside) chain with a sucrose group at the end. Therefore, using Jerusalem artichoke powder as raw material, fructose-oligosaccharide syrup can be obtained by hydrolysis with inulin endonuclease.
Fructo-oligosaccharides is a natural active substance. The sweetness is 0.3-0.6 times that of sucrose. It not only maintains the pure sweetness of sucrose, but also sweeter and cooler than sucrose.

Key Benefits & Applications
Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) are natural, water-soluble dietary fibers with prebiotic properties. They offer formulators a unique combination of nutritional, functional, and economic benefits.
Cost-Effectiveness:
With a sweetness level of 30–60% that of sucrose and a clean, pure sugar-like taste, FOS can partially replace sugar in formulations. This reduces overall raw material costs while delivering a lower caloric value. Its high water-binding capacity also improves product yield and texture, contributing to better process economics.
Functional Benefits:
FOS enhances product quality through several mechanisms. It inhibits starch retrogradation, keeping baked goods soft and fresh for extended periods. It stabilizes emulsions and improves mouthfeel in dairy and beverage applications. By promoting beneficial gut microbiota, it supports digestive health claims. FOS also demonstrates good stability across a wide pH range and processing conditions, making it suitable for various applications from ice cream to baked goods. Its natural origin and prebiotic functionality help formulators achieve clean-label positioning by reducing the need for artificial additives or preservatives.
Key Applications:
- Dairy & plant-based products (yogurt, milk drinks, infant formula)
- Baked goods & snacks (bread, biscuits, crackers)
- Beverages (solid drinks, functional beverages)
- Confectionery (chocolate, candies, jellies)
- Animal feed (as a prebiotic feed additive)
