Stachyose Product Introduction

Stachyose is a naturally occurring tetrasaccharide with the molecular formula C24H42O21, the relative molecular weight is 666.59. Its structure consists of two galactose, one glucose, and one fructose. It is a non-reducing functional oligosaccharide. Stachyose is not decomposed by human gastrointestinal digestive juice and belongs to soluble dietary fiber.

Physicochemical Properties

  • White powder appearance with a fresh taste and no peculiar smell.
  • Sweetness is approximately 22% of sucrose.
  • Highly soluble in water (130g at 20ºC); insoluble in organic solvents like ether/ethanol.
  • Moisture retention is lower than sucrose but higher than high fructose syrup.
  • Melting point of 101ºC (crystalline) and 167ºC~170ºC (anhydrous).

Physiological Benefits

1. Intestinal Health: Proliferates bifidobacteria preferentially to regulate intestinal flora balance.

2. Digestive Support: Acts as a small molecule soluble fiber to relieve constipation and prevent diarrhea by enhancing intestinal function.

3. Liver Protection: Reduces ammonia production in the intestine, helping to prevent ammonia poisoning and supporting liver health.

4. Immunomodulatory: Participates in biological immunity processes, neutralizing toxins and improving human immunity through bifidobacteria action.

5. Lead Removal: Reduces intestinal absorption of lead and promotes its expulsion from the body.

6. Metabolic Regulation: Supports the regulation of blood glucose and lipid metabolism, helpful for managing fasting blood glucose levels.
