Galacto-oligosaccharide/GOS CAS:6587-31-1 Manufacturer Supplier

GOS are composed of galactose molecules with one glucose on the end, altogether containing 3-8 simple sugars. GOS cannot be digested in the human small intestine, so it travels unchanged into the large intestine, where beneficial colonic bacteria break them down into gases and short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which can be absorbed and used by the body.GOS is galacto-oligosaccharides with great similarities to the composition of human milk, and is highly promoted for use in the infant  formula and healthfoods because of its combination of benefits and safety.Galactooligosaccharide (GOS) is a non-artificial oligosaccharide derived from animal milk. In nature, there is a small amount of galacto-oligosaccharide in animal milk, while human breast milk contains more. It has the general characteristics of oligosaccharides and has good bifidobacteria proliferation activity. It is a high-quality prebiotic. Galactooligosaccharides (GOS) is a kind of functional oligosaccharides with natural properties. Its molecular structure is generally connected with 1-7 galactose groups on galactose or glucose molecules. In nature, there is a trace amount of GOS in animal milk, while human breast milk contains a large amount. The establishment of the bifidobacteria flora in infants largely depends on the GOS components in breast milk.
