According to the findings of market research firm FMCG Gurus, since the global outbreak of the new crown epidemic this year, consumers have preferred foods containing healthy ingredients and transparent labels more than ever, and they hope to be able to buy healthy, lightweight functional foods during this challenging time. As a functional fiber, BENEO fructooligosaccharides have always attracted consumer attention.
Naturally extracted, technology-enabled nutrition
Functional fiber-oligosaccharides are inulin-type fructosans. BENEO fructooligosaccharides are also extracted from chicory root, partially enzymatically derived from inulin, 100% naturally derived. To meet the need for higher quality, further purification allows BEEO fructooligosaccharides to work better in infant nutrition.
Fructooligosaccharides have the effect of stimulating and increasing the growth of hygienically beneficial flora, inhibiting the growth of potentially pathogenic microorganisms, reducing the pH value of the intestinal environment and the production of spoilage.
In addition, fructooligosaccharides also play an important role in improving the immune response system, inhibiting systemic infections, modulating the immune system and increasing immune response after vaccination, inhibiting tumor growth (such as liver cancer, breast cancer) and spreading metastasis, as well as preventing fever and fever, reducing antibiotic use and daily care.
Natural fiber, preferred for intestinal health
Studies have shown that the gut microbiome changes with age. Age-related changes can affect not only digestive health, but also immune responses. With prebiotic dietary fiber, bacterial imbalances can be corrected.
In addition, at all ages, we should maintain normal intestinal movements to avoid constipation. It's just that with age, the intestinal barrier function weakens and the risk of leaky gut increases.
Fructooligosaccharides can help maintain normal bowel function. Fructooligosaccharides have a positive effect on the internal environment of the intestine, nourish the epithelium of the large intestine, stimulate intestinal peristalsis, and increase the number of bowel movements per week.
Natural sugar substitute, naturally more moisturizing
Fructooligosaccharides can be used as sugar substitutes in grain bars to produce low-sugar products that still have the same texture and texture as regular products. Fructooligosaccharides also act as moisturizers in grain strips, thus ensuring a soft and chewy texture during the shelf life.
As the living standards of the Chinese people continue to improve, the increase in disposable income and the busy lifestyle are also increasing, and the expectations for health are also increasing. However, this trend has gradually shifted, and modern consumers are becoming more and more fond of foods with health value.
