Galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS)
Product Definition
Galaco-oligosaccharides (GOSGalacto-oligosaccharides More) are non-digestible oligosaccharidesComplex carbohydrates that limit the attachment of microorganisms to the intestine. More consisting of 1 to 9 galactose units linked via glycosidic bonds to either terminal glucose or galactose. They are obtained by subjecting a concentrated lactose solution to the action of a β-galactosidase enzymeMolecule that accelerates reactions. Enzymes typically are proteins that act as a biological catalyst. Catalysts are not altered in the reaction. The molecule that the enzyme reacts with is known as the substrate. More to produce galacto-oligosaccharides and then further terminating the reaction. The galacto-oligosaccharides may be purified by ultrafiltration, chromatography, ion exchange, electrodialysis, activated carbon filtration or any other safe and suitable process in which all or part of the galacto-oligosaccharides, mineralsGenerally refers to elements other than carbon (C), hydrogen (H), oxygen (O) and nitrogen (N) that are found in dairy products. The term often is used interchangeably with salts and ash. More, other sugars are concentrated into a viscous syrup or a powder. GOSGalacto-oligosaccharides More for human consumption complies with all provisions of the U.S. Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.

Permissable Additives
Galaco-oligosaccharides (GOS) may be pHA measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a material. The pH scale ranges from 0 (acid) to 14 (alkaline) with 7 considered neutral. pH is a measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions and is defined as the negative log of the hydrogen ion concentration. More adjusted with appropriate mineral or organicRegulations that refers to the way agricultural products are grown and processed. Regulations vary from country to country but in the U.S., organic crops must be grown without the use of synthetic herbicides, pesticides and fertilizers or bioengineered genes. More acid or base. Any pHA measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a material. The pH scale ranges from 0 (acid) to 14 (alkaline) with 7 considered neutral. pH is a measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions and is defined as the negative log of the hydrogen ion concentration. More adjustment agent used for this purpose shall be food grade and shall be used in accordance with U.S. current Good Manufacturing Practices and in accordance with its GRASGenerally recognized as safe More status, where applicable.
Nutritional Attributes
Galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS)Comprised of galactose molecules chained together. GOS are naturally occuring in milk and yogurt and function as prebiotics. More provide a prebiotic fiber source that is beneficial to gut bacteria, especially Bifidobacteria. GOSGalacto-oligosaccharides More is known for improving digestive health, supporting immune function, and contributing to overall microbiome balance. Fermentation of GOS in the colon produces short chain fatty acids which increases acidity and improves mineral solubilityAbility of a liquid to dissolve another material. Examples: Lactose dissolving in water, alcohol dissolving in water. More, allowing better absorption of calcium.
Functionality and Applications
HIgh Performance:
SolubilityAbility of a liquid to dissolve another material. Examples: Lactose dissolving in water, alcohol dissolving in water. More
Heat Stability
Galacto-oligosaccharides are typically used in infant formulas; in conventional foods like soups, bakery products, cereals, jellies, jams, fruit and vegetable juices; in nutritional and dietary supplements; medical and specialized nutrition; and pharmaceutical applications.
An untapped potential for GOS use is in ready-to-drink (RTD) and ready-to-mix (RTM) beverages. Especially when combined with dairy proteins, it provides important nutrients for weight loss with a high protein/high fiber profile, while helping to support a healthy gut.

Baluoshi Prebiotic Grapefruit Fiber Fruit Drink: GOS provides prebiotic fiber in this grapefruit drink to help support existing beneficial gut bacteria as well as the probioticsLive microorganisms, which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host (FAO/WHO definition). Lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria are the most common probiotics. More provided in this drink. Good solubilityAbility of a liquid to dissolve another material. Examples: Lactose dissolving in water, alcohol dissolving in water. More characteristics in high acid beverages make GOSGalacto-oligosaccharides More a good choice for this application.
