Application / Intended Use
Fructo-oligosaccharides are a prebiotic fibre that selectively feeds bifidobacteria. Infant formula, yoghurt and functional beverages include them at roughly 2-8 g per serving; bakery uses them for sugar reduction and moisture retention; animal nutrition uses them as a gut-health additive in place of growth-promoting antibiotics.
