Product Description:Galacto-oligosaccharides
(GOS), also known as oligogalactosyllactose, oligogalactose,
oligolactose or transgalactooligosacchariden (TOS), belong, because
of their indigestible nature, to the group of prebiotics.
Prebiotics are defined as non-digestible food ingredients that
beneficially affect the host by stimulating the growth and/or
activity of beneficial bacteria in the colon. GOS naturally occurs
in human milk, and commercial available products are broadly used
in food for both infants and adult, ranging from infant formula to
biscuits to food for the critical ill. They are widely recognized
as the non-digestible carbohydrates that occur naturally in human
milk. Moreover they can be manufactured from lactose through
enzymatic conversion
