Fructooligosaccharides(F.O.S)Powder made from sucrose by enzymatic process which is natural food fiber.FOS (Fructose-oligosaccharides) is a mixture of oligosaccharides (GF2, GF3, GF4) which are composed of fructose units connected by ß (2-1) links. These molecules are terminated by a fructose unit. The total number of fructose or glucose units (Degree of Polymerization or DP) of oligofructose ranges mainly between 2 and 4.
In very acid conditions, significant exposure times and temperatures, FOS may hydrolyse into fructose. FOS is more sensitive to acid hydrolysis. This makes the use of FOS in highly acidic ambient products with a long shelf life such as soft drinks rather difficult. In most other applications, such as industrial fruit preparations and fresh fruit juices, the hydrolysis can be limited by controlling the process.
