Stachyose is a natural functional tetrasaccharide consisting of galactose, glucose, and fructose. It acts as a powerful prebiotic and soluble dietary fiber that is not digested by the human upper gastrointestinal tract.
How does Stachyose benefit digestive health?
It promotes the growth of beneficial Bifidobacteria in the gut, which helps balance intestinal flora, relieves constipation by enhancing bowel function, and can also help prevent diarrhea.
Is Stachyose safe for diabetic individuals?
Yes, research suggests that Stachyose can actually help regulate blood glucose and lipid metabolism, potentially reducing fasting blood glucose levels.
Can Stachyose be used in animal feed?
Absolutely. It is commonly added to poultry, pig, and aquaculture feed at concentrations ranging from 0.5% to 1.25% to improve animal gut health and immunity.
What are the physical properties of Stachyose powder?
It is a white, fresh-tasting powder that is highly soluble in water. It has about 22% of the sweetness of sucrose and is stable under normal storage conditions.
Does Stachyose help with heavy metal detoxification?
Yes, it has been shown to promote the removal of lead from the body by reducing the time food residues stay in the intestine and inhibiting lead absorption.
