Organic Xylooligosaccharides

What are organic Xylooligosaccharides?

Organic Xylooligosaccharides (XOS) are meticulously produced through a proprietary enzymatic hydrolysis process from 100% pure, organically certified plant sources, typically non-GMO corn cobs, birch, or other suitable plant fibers. This precise process breaks down xylans into short-chain xylooligosaccharides. The resulting product is then carefully purified and either dried into a fine powder or concentrated into a viscous syrup. The organic certification guarantees that the raw materials are cultivated and processed without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, GMOs, or artificial additives, aligning with strict clean-label and natural ingredient standards.

Organic XOS stands out among prebiotics due to its high efficiency at very low dosages (often effective at 1-2 grams per day). It acts as a highly selective fuel source, bypassing digestion in the upper gastrointestinal tract and reaching the large intestine intact, where it is preferentially fermented by beneficial Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli.

• Organic XOS Powder: The purified liquid is gently dried into a fine, free-flowing powder, ideal for supplements, dry mixes, and functional foods.
• Organic XOS Syrup: The concentrated liquid remains in its viscous syrup form, offering excellent solubility and moisture-retention properties, perfect for beverages, bars, and certain confectionery items.

Both forms of Organic XOS offer a mild, slightly sweet taste and excellent stability across various processing conditions, making them versatile for integrating into a wide array of functional products without impacting sensory profiles. Our Organic XOS is the ideal choice for manufacturers seeking to deliver targeted digestive health, immune support, and enhance overall product quality with a clean and transparent ingredient.

Key Features

• Highly Effective Low-Dose Prebiotic: XOS is effective at much lower daily dosages (typically 1-2 grams) compared to other prebiotics like FOS or GOS, making it cost-effective and easier to incorporate without causing digestive discomfort.
• Precision Gut Microbiome Modulation: Selectively stimulates the growth of beneficial Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli in the colon, leading to a balanced and diverse gut flora crucial for overall health.
• Enhanced Immune Function: A healthy gut microbiome supported by XOS contributes significantly to a robust immune system, influencing the body’s natural defenses.
• Improved Nutrient Absorption: By promoting a healthy gut environment, XOS can indirectly support better absorption of essential nutrients.
• Mild Sweetness & Low Calorie: Offers a subtle, natural sweetness (about 30% of sucrose) with a lower caloric value, allowing for sugar reduction in formulations.
• Excellent Stability: Maintains its prebiotic efficacy across a wide range of pH levels and processing temperatures, ensuring functional benefits in diverse product matrices.
• High Solubility: The syrup form offers exceptional solubility, ideal for clear beverages, while the powder dissolves well for dry applications.
• Organic & Clean Label: Certified organic and non-GMO, free from synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and artificial additives, aligning with strict consumer demands for pure and transparent ingredients.
• Allergen-Friendly: Naturally free from common allergens such as gluten, dairy, soy, and nuts, making it a highly inclusive ingredient.
