What is the function of apple fructooligosaccharides? Evaluate five important functions.
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. It is also a good sweetener for diabetics.

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.
