Stachyose is a functional oligosaccharide developed by the integration of modern glycobiology and modern microecology medicine, and it is a very representative high-tech frontier product. Stachyose raw material balances the largest micro-ecosystem of human body-intestinal micro-ecosystem through highly selective proliferation of Bifidobacterium, thus playing a positive role in nutrition, immunity and disease prevention of the host. It is called "a new generation of super bifidus factor" and "an outstanding representative of a new generation of functional oligosaccharides". Properties and functional components of stachyose raw materials The main components of stachyose raw materials are raffinose (trisaccharide), stachyose (tetrasaccharide), verbose (pentasaccharide) and lycopodium polysaccharide. It is a physiologically active oligosaccharide with α- 1-6' galactose as the main component. α -galactosyl is an extremely important structural component of sugar chain in organisms, which has many specific cellular functions. Thermal stability stachyose, raffinose and verbose have good thermal stability, and will not decompose when heated to 140℃, and will not be damaged when heated to 160℃. Acid stability stachyose, raffinose and verbose have good acid stability and acid storage stability. It is still stable when heated to 120℃ under acidic conditions (PH=5-6). When PH=3.5, its stability is better than sucrose. When PH=3, the survival rate of 120 days stored below 20 degrees can reach above 85%, below 30 degrees, and above 60% after 120 days. However, under acidic conditions, the stability of fructooligosaccharides is poor. When the temperature reaches 70℃ and PH=3, the stability of fructooligosaccharides decreases obviously. Insolubility In terms of sugar structure, sugar is difficult to digest because stachyose, raffinose and verbose are α-galactooligosaccharides, and 1~3 galactose in the molecule cannot be decomposed by β -galactosidase and sucrase in human body. Anti-starch aging characteristics stachyose, raffinose and verbose have obvious inhibitory effects on starch aging, and their effects are enhanced with the increase of dosage, which is 2~3 times stronger than that of fructooligosaccharides. The extraction process is characterized by the advanced patented separation and purification technology of pure physics at low temperature, and there is no heat sensitivity problem. The whole extraction process takes water as solvent, and there is no problem of residual organic solvent. Food sources and dietary intake of stachyose, stachyose and raffinose; α -oligosaccharides such as stachyose, stachyose and raffinose are widely distributed in nature. However, judging from the daily eating habits of ordinary people, it is often difficult for a person to ingest α -oligosaccharides such as stachyose, stachyose and raffinose from natural foods every day. Therefore, supplementing oligosaccharides from the diet is very beneficial to infants, adults, the elderly and anyone who wants to have a healthy digestive system and has great work pressure. The Japanese government defines the food containing stachyose as "national specific health food" according to laws and regulations, and the German government has issued the "National Health Handbook", which advocates people taking stachyose for life. 2 dietary intake it is difficult to determine the daily intake of oligosaccharides, because there are differences in the estimation of intake in food composition database. According to literature reports, Americans consume only 0.8 grams of fructooligosaccharides from natural foods every day on average, and the intake of other people is even lower. At present, relevant literature reports that stachyose is a high-purity oligosaccharide, and the effective dose is about 0.5 g ~ 3 g. Safety of stachyose raw material ◆ The safety of stachyose extraction raw material-bamboo shoots has been proved by modern science and thousands of years of traditional medicine. Records in Jiayou Materia Medica (1060) and Compendium of Materia Medica (1578) show that bamboo shoots were regarded as a kind of vegetable in ancient times, and are still widely eaten as a traditional vegetable in northern Shaanxi today. The eating history of nearly a thousand years proves that bamboo shoots are absolutely safe. ◆ The annual consumption of oligosaccharides such as stachyose in Japan and the United States is 6.5438+0.2 million tons, and the global consumption has reached 260,000 tons. No adverse reactions have been reported since 654.38+0.989. ◆ The safety of stachyose was confirmed and affirmed by China Institute of Aerospace Medical Engineering, and it was selected as space food. Space food nutrition experts said: "Space food has extremely strict quality requirements, unlimited safety requirements, and must be absolutely non-toxic. The demand for space food exceeds the requirement of providing food for the top leaders of the country. " The health care function of stachyose raw material is called "a new generation of super bifidus factor" They are the best representatives of a few functional oligosaccharides extracted directly from nature. The stachyose raw material can be selectively fermented and utilized by Bifidobacterium, so that beneficial bacteria such as Bifidobacterium in human intestine can proliferate at a growth rate of 40 times, the generation of harmful bacteria can be inhibited, the intestinal microecological balance can be adjusted, and the health care function beneficial to the host can be produced. Mucose, stachyose and raffinose of Bifidobacterium can't be directly decomposed and utilized by human body, because human digestive system can't secrete α-D- galactosidase, which specifically hydrolyzes α-galactooligosaccharides such as mucose, stachyose and raffinose. Sakai (1987) proved that α-D- galactosidase produced by Bifidobacterium is a highly selective enzyme for degrading α-galactooligosaccharides. Therefore, the beneficial bacteria Bifidobacterium can produce α-D- galactosidase and hydrolyze verbose, stachyose and raffinose with high selectivity, and specifically utilize verbose, stachyose and raffinose to provide nutrition and energy for its growth and reproduction. The effects of stachyose, verbose and raffinose on the proliferation of Bifidobacterium were better than isomaltooligosaccharide and fructooligosaccharide (the effective amount was 1/5~ 1/4). Conclusion Stachyose can selectively proliferate beneficial bacteria such as Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus in the intestine, reduce the production of harmful bacteria such as Enterobacter, adjust the microecological balance of the intestine and improve the intestinal function. The results are as follows: Comparison of stachyose, stachyose and raffinose. The functional components of stachyose raw materials are stachyose, stachyose and raffinose. The proliferation ability of long-chain α -oligosaccharides to Bifidobacterium is stronger than that of short-chain α-oligosaccharides, and the order from strong to weak is long chain > stachyose > raffinose. Promoting nutrient absorption 1 Synthesis of B vitamins Bifidobacterium can synthesize various vitamins necessary for human body, such as vitamin B 1, vitamin B6, vitamin B9, vitamin B 12, etc. It can also improve the utilization rate of vitamin B 1 2. The study on improving the utilization rate of protein showed that Bifidobacterium can improve the absorption and utilization rate of protein in breast milk. Bifidobacterium can increase nitrogen retention and promote amino acid metabolism. In addition, Bifidobacterium reduced the loss of protein and improved the utilization rate of protein. Therefore, stachyose raw materials can improve the utilization rate of protein through the proliferation of beneficial bacteria such as Bifidobacterium in human intestine. 3 Promote mineral absorption Stachyose raw materials are fermented into short-chain fatty acids such as acetic acid and lactic acid by Bifidobacterium in the intestine, thus lowering the pH value in the intestine, activating minerals such as calcium, magnesium and zinc, making minerals exist in the form of activated free metal ions, which is beneficial to intestinal absorption and improving the absorption and utilization rate of minerals such as calcium, magnesium and zinc. Space food-instant prebiotic green tea is developed according to this characteristic of stachyose. Functional oligosaccharides such as immunomodulatory stachyose can rapidly proliferate beneficial bacteria, which can form a biological protective film on gastrointestinal mucosa and form a biological barrier. Secondly, substances that can kill harmful bacteria are produced to form a chemical barrier. Third, repair the damaged gastrointestinal mucosa and strengthen the intestinal immune barrier. Thus, a triple defense system is established in the body, so that harmful substances such as harmful bacteria and toxins cannot invade other circulatory systems of the human body and are quickly excreted, making the human body less likely to get sick. Moreover, stachyose can be decomposed into mannose trisaccharide, raffinose, galactose, melibiose and other immune efficacy factors in the intestine. It has high immune activity, stimulates immune cells in the intestine and improves the immunity of the body. The laxative stachyose raw material can promote human intestinal peristalsis, enhance the ability of intestinal propulsion and expel harmful substances in time. Firstly, that stachyose raw material can be use as an efficient nutrient for beneficial bacteria such as bifidobacteria, so that the beneficial bacteria such as bifidobacteria in the human intestine can proliferate rapidly, the microecological balance of the intestine can be rebuilt and restored, and the intestinal function can be improved; Secondly, Bifidobacterium produces short-chain fatty acids such as acetic acid and lactic acid (pH value is about 5.0) by fermenting stachyose raw materials, which promotes intestinal peristalsis and enhances intestinal propulsion ability; In addition, stachyose has strong water absorption, which can increase the water content in defecation and make metabolic waste easily excreted. Stachyose, a raw material for preventing dental caries, has the characteristics of not being digested and absorbed by human body, low sweetness and low calorie, and is not used by streptococcus in oral cavity or decomposed by oral enzymes, so it also has the function of preventing dental caries. Application of stachyose raw materials ● Dairy companion stachyose can improve the common lactic acid intolerance after people take dairy products by proliferating beneficial bacteria in the body. After it is applied to milk-containing drinks, it is suitable for children and adults who are unwilling to drink milk or have symptoms after drinking milk because of lactose intolerance. Stachyose can avoid getting angry and constipation after taking dairy products by improving gastrointestinal function, and can promote people to absorb protein and minerals in dairy products. Effectively expand the consumption of dairy products and promote the increase of sales. Stachyose, an ideal substitute for breast milk oligosaccharides, selectively proliferates beneficial bacteria such as intestinal Bifidobacterium at an increasing rate of 40 times, inhibits harmful bacteria, regulates microecological balance, improves intestinal function and prevents diarrhea and constipation; Enhance infant immunity; Promote the absorption of minerals such as calcium, magnesium and zinc and the digestion and absorption of protein; It is beneficial for human body to synthesize B vitamins. Can be widely added to infant milk powder, and provides an ideal substitute for breast milk oligosaccharides for artificially feeding infants with recurrent diarrhea, constipation or alternating symptoms of diarrhea and constipation. Stachyose has excellent water solubility in technology, and the prepared infant milk powder particles are relatively complete, with good fluidity, good washing resistance and good instant solubility; Finally, it is not easy to hydrolyze, has good thermal stability, is not easy to decompose during homogenization, sterilization, concentration and spray drying, and is not easy to react with protein in infant milk powder to turn yellow and discolor. Stachyose is a kind of infant food, which is suitable for developing special auxiliary food, biscuits, drinks, sweets and so on. Because of its natural purity, stable nature, low health care dosage, obvious effect and slightly sweet taste, it can prevent dental caries, promote digestion and absorption, improve gastrointestinal function, and is suitable for infants. Manufacturers can also use stachyose to develop children's food, improve malnutrition, enhance immunity and help children learn and grow better. Stachyose, a beauty food for women, can not only effectively relieve menopausal symptoms, but also eliminate toxins in the body, scavenge free radicals, inhibit melanin production and not cause obesity. Can meet the needs of most women for beauty treatment, and can be used to develop beauty beauty food and calcium-supplementing food for women to drink. Stachyose has the characteristics of not being digested and absorbed by human body, low sweetness and calorie, and can promote mineral absorption and vitamin synthesis, so it can develop low-calorie food for women who love beauty. Stachyose, a health food for middle-aged and elderly people, can effectively prevent aging and various diseases (such as osteoporosis, constipation, diabetes, coronary heart disease, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, etc.). ), can develop food with the function of prolonging life. Using stachyose's low energy and difficult to be digested and absorbed by human body, we can also develop food for obese and hyperlipidemia consumers. The research on special food and diet of diabetic patients shows that the intestinal flora of diabetic patients generally deteriorates, the number of beneficial bacteria such as Bifidobacterium is much lower than that of normal people, and the contents of harmful substances such as urea, creatinine and uric acid are much higher than normal levels. Stachyose can not only effectively proliferate Bifidobacterium, remove and reduce harmful substances in the body, but also its metabolic pathway in the body has nothing to do with insulin, does not stimulate insulin secretion, does not raise human blood sugar, and can be developed into special food for diabetic patients, thus expanding the consumption population. ● Used for acidic foods. Stachyose not only has many obvious health care functions, but also has good acid-heat stability, and it is not easy to decompose even under acidic conditions with pH value of 3 and temperature of 140℃, so it can be used in acidic foods such as lactic acid bacteria drinks, yogurt, vinegar and vinegar drinks. Increase the selling point of products. As a healthy food ingredient, stachyose has good physical and chemical properties, health care efficacy and high scientific and technological content, and its status as a "new generation of super bifidus factor" is gradually recognized and determined. The development and consumption upsurge of stachyose-related health food will be higher and higher. Moreover, stachyose-related health foods are based on emerging microecology and modern glycobiology, and have newer scientific theoretical support systems and scientific concepts compared with previous health foods. Developing stachyose-related health food has become the knowledge of many health food developers and manufacturers. Conclusion: Work stress, life stress, diet, diseases, medication, surgery, decreased body function and other factors lead to the decrease or even disappearance of bifidobacteria in the intestine, resulting in a "sub-health" state, aging and illness. A large number of studies have shown that regular intake of bifidus factors can bring people a healthy life. More and more scientific documents show that stachyose plays an important role in human health and disease prevention. People will further study and explore the role of oligosaccharides such as stachyose in sports medicine, enhancing immunity and preventing other chronic diseases. We also need a large number of intervention studies to confirm the efficacy of stachyose. During this period, it is recommended to take at least 0.5 ~3 grams of stachyose every day, which will be beneficial to the balance of microecology in the body. Stachyose has the best curative effect in oligosaccharides, and can be widely used as a functional food ingredient in high-end food fields such as dairy products, baby food, beverages, alcohol, candy and cakes. At the same time, stachyose has unique physiological activity, which can be used as a health food ingredient and has broad development prospects in the field of health food. 1. stachyose granules are health food approved by the US Food and Drug Administration.
