Oligosaccharides are short-chain carbohydrates composed of a small number of monosaccharide units, typically ranging from 2 to 10 sugar molecules. These sugar molecules are linked together by glycosidic bonds, and depending on the specific configuration, oligosaccharides can play a variety of roles in both biological and industrial contexts. Oligosaccharides are found naturally in foods like fruits, vegetables, and grains and also play crucial roles in human health.
One of the most notable functions of oligosaccharides in the human body is their role in promoting gut health. Many oligosaccharides, such as fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and galactooligosaccharides (GOS), are considered prebiotics. Prebiotics are non-digestible food components that stimulate the growth and activity of beneficial gut bacteria, contributing to a healthier digestive system. These oligosaccharides help improve the balance of gut microbiota, enhance digestion, and boost the immune system.
Oligosaccharides also have important applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries. In the food industry, they are often used as low-calorie sweeteners, as they are less digestible than regular sugars and can provide a sweet taste without contributing to a high glycemic index. In pharmaceuticals, certain oligosaccharides are used in drug formulations for their ability to enhance the solubility and absorption of active ingredients, and they can also act as stabilizers or carriers for certain biologically active compounds. Their versatility makes oligosaccharides valuable in a range of applications related to health, nutrition, and manufacturing.
