Fructo-oligosaccharide (FOS), also known as Fucto-oligo, is a remarkable prebiotic that enters the large intestine without being digested or absorbed by the human body. In the intestine, it rapidly promotes the reproduction of bifidobacterium and other probiotics, which is why it is widely recognized as the "Bifidus Factor."
As a high-performance functional factor, FOS is widely applied in:
• Dairy products and beverages
• Candy and cakes
• Livestock and meat products
• Aquatic product processing
• Specialized food for patients with diabetes (First choice sweetener)

The packed label indicates:
FOS 95% is a high-purity prebiotic fiber known as the "Bifidus Factor." It is not digested by the human body but serves as a vital nutrient for beneficial bacteria in the large intestine.
Yes, FOS is considered a first-choice food and sweetener for patients with diabetes because it has a minimal impact on blood sugar levels compared to traditional saccharose.
Beyond its health benefits, FOS provides good thermal stability, moisture retention, and a delicate flavor, which can enhance the texture and shelf life of dairy, beverages, and baked goods.
Absolutely. It promotes the growth of probiotics like Bifidobacterium, which helps improve intestinal function, prevent constipation, and support the immune system.
Our FOS 95% is typically packed in 25kg drums or pails using food-grade polythene plastic bags to ensure maximum safety and purity during transport.
Our FOS powder maintains a high purity standard with a Total FOS content (on dry matter) of at least 95.0%.
