Galacto-Oligosaccharides (GOS) are one of the most studied type of prebiotic fibers. Naturally present in breast milk, they promote the growth of beneficial bacteria such as Bifidobacteria and of some Lactobacilli.
So long, the only GOS available on the market were beta-GOS, synthetized from lactose using enzymatic hydrolysis.
Galacto-oligosaccharides are also naturally present, in their fructosylated form (Raffinose Family Oligosaccharides RFOs), in legumes.
Olygose has developed a unique, patented solvent-free process that allows to purify these plant-based alpha-GOS. The raw material used is a by-product of the pea and soy industry which was not valorized before.
