Stachyose is a naturally occurring tetrasaccharide with the molecular formula C24H42O21 and a relative molecular weight of 666.59. Its structure consists of two galactose units, one glucose unit, and one fructose unit. It is a non-reducing functional oligosaccharide. Stachyose is not decomposed by human gastrointestinal digestive juice and belongs to the category of soluble dietary fiber.
| Intestinal Flora Balance | 0.5 ~ 3 g per day for 15-30 days |
| Constipation Relief (Adults) | 5 ~ 10 g per day for 1-7 days |
| Constipation Relief (Children) | 1 ~ 3 g per day for 1-7 days |
| Poultry Feed | Add 0.5% ~ 1.0% in the ration |
| Pig Feed | Add 0.8% ~ 1.0% in the ration |
| Aquaculture | Add 0.8% ~ 1.25% into the feed |
Stachyose is a natural tetrasaccharide (a type of prebiotic) extracted from plants. It consists of galactose, glucose, and fructose and functions as a high-quality soluble dietary fiber that supports gut health.
Yes. Research indicates that Stachyose can actually help improve glucose and lipid metabolism in type 2 diabetic models and does not cause the rapid blood sugar spikes associated with regular sugar.
It works as a prebiotic that increases the count of beneficial bifidobacteria. These bacteria produce organic acids that stimulate intestinal peristalsis and help retain moisture in the stool, making it easier to pass.
Stachyose has a very mild sweetness, approximately 22% of the sweetness of sucrose (table sugar). It provides a fresh taste without any peculiar odors, making it ideal for functional food additives.
Absolutely. It is widely used in poultry, pig, and aquaculture feed at concentrations ranging from 0.5% to 1.25% to improve animal gut health and immunity.
Stachyose has a shelf life of over 12 months. It should be stored in normal, dry conditions. Its hygroscopicity is relatively low compared to high fructose syrups, ensuring stability during storage.
