Fructooligosaccharides are functional oligosaccharides with fructose groups linked by β-bonds and a degree of polymerization of ≤9. Fructooligosaccharide is a kind of water-soluble dietary fiber, which has the functions of proliferating Bifidobacterium, promoting intestinal peristalsis, preventing constipation and diarrhea, and promoting mineral absorption.
100g dry weight Jerusalem artichoke contains about 60-70g inulin. Inulin is a kind of fructan linked by linear β-2, 1- glycoside chain, and its end is a sucrose group. Therefore, Jerusalem artichoke powder was hydrolyzed and refined by endoinulinase to obtain fructooligosaccharide syrup.
Fructooligosaccharide was first produced by Meiji Fruit Co., Ltd. in Japan, which was sucrose fructooligosaccharide. Later, Fructooligosaccharide was produced in Europe, and then Fructooligosaccharide was produced in rice. Globally, only Fanmi can produce two kinds of fructooligosaccharides at the same time: chicory fructooligosaccharides and Jerusalem artichoke fructooligosaccharides, among which chicory fructooligosaccharides are the fourth in the world.
Jerusalem artichoke fructooligosaccharides are exclusively produced in the world, and other fructooligosaccharides manufacturers can only produce one kind of fructooligosaccharides: chicory fructooligosaccharides or sucrose fructooligosaccharides. After years of scientific research, the quality of secret fructooligosaccharides has reached the level of Japan and Europe, and some indicators have exceeded.
Fructooligosaccharides with chicory and Jerusalem artichoke as raw materials are collectively called natural fructooligosaccharides. Natural fructooligosaccharides are not necessarily organic fructooligosaccharides, but organic fructooligosaccharides must be natural fructooligosaccharides.

Effects of fructooligosaccharides:
1. has a low calorific value, because fructooligosaccharides can not be directly digested and absorbed by human body, but can only be absorbed and utilized by intestinal bacteria, so its calorific value is low, which will not lead to obesity, and indirectly has the effect of losing weight.
2. Because it can't be used by oral bacteria (referring to the mutant Streptococcus nigricans), it has the function of preventing dental caries.
3. Proliferation of intestinal beneficial bacteria. Fructooligosaccharides can selectively proliferate beneficial bacteria such as Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus in the intestine, make beneficial bacteria dominant in the intestine, inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria and reduce the formation of toxic substances (such as endotoxin and ammonia). ), and protect intestinal mucosal cells and liver, thereby preventing the occurrence of pathological intestinal cancer and enhancing the body's immunity.
4. It can reduce the content of cholesterol and triglyceride in serum.
5. Promote the absorption of nutrients, especially calcium. Intake of fructooligosaccharides can improve the body's absorption of calcium ions, which has attracted more and more attention, and some human clinical experiments have been carried out one after another. For teenagers, inulin rich in fructooligosaccharides has been proved to have a positive effect on bone health, which can strengthen calcium absorption and increase bone density.
For postmenopausal women, inulin rich in fructooligosaccharides has been proved to increase mineral absorption and improve bone health. Another clinical study shows that supplementing inulin rich in fructooligosaccharides can improve the mineral absorption of menopausal women and affect their bone renewal markers.
6. Prevention and treatment of diarrhea and constipation.
