📝 Product Description
XYLO-OLIGOSACCHARIDE POWDER (XOS)
XOS is a functional polysaccharide formed by connecting 2-7 xylose molecules with β-1, 4 glucosidic bond, acting as a superior prebiotic. It is produced by enzymatic hydrolysis from high-quality corncob raw materials.
Short name: XOS | Molecular formula: C5nH8n+2O4n+1 | MV Range: 282-942
🚀 Application Fields
1. Medicines & Health
Gastrointestinal dysfunction, diabetes, hypertension, obesity, arteriosclerosis, dental caries.
2. Dairy & Drinks
Milk powder, liquid milk, yoghourt, sour milk beverage, sodas.
3. Food & Feed
Baked goods, condiments, desserts, candies. Also used as a feed additive to reduce antibiotic use.
⭐ XOS Advantages
Most Efficient Bifidus Factor: Proliferation effect is 10-20 times higher than other oligosaccharides.
Low Calorie: Degradation rate by human enzymes is below 0.4%; safe for diabetics and obesity management.
Acid Stability: Maintains integrity at PH 2.5-8.0 even when heated.
Heat Stability: Excellent resistance to high temperatures under acidic conditions.
No Compatibility Taboo: Does not affect other active substances or nutrition in food formulations.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the primary source of your XOS?
Our Xylo-oligosaccharide is produced through the enzymatic hydrolysis of high-quality, natural corncobs.
Q2: Why is XOS considered more efficient than other prebiotics?
XOS proliferation of bifidobacteria is 10-20 times more effective than other oligosaccharides, meaning it can be used in much smaller doses.
Q3: Is XOS safe for people with diabetes?
Yes, XOS has a very low decomposition rate in the human body (below 0.4%), making it suitable for those with diabetes or obesity.
Q4: How does XOS perform in acidic beverages?
It shows excellent acid stability. Even at a pH of 2.5 and high temperatures, it remains basically undecomposed.
Q5: What is the standard packaging for bulk orders?
The standard packaging is a 25kg fiber drum, with a 20'GP container accommodating approximately 6.75mt.
Q6: What certifications does the production facility follow?
Our production workshops are built and operated in strict accordance with GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) standards.
