Discussion on the application of food grade mannan oligosaccharides

1. What is food grade mannan oligosaccharides?

Mannan oligosaccharides (MOS) are indigestible oligosaccharides obtained by partial hydrolysis of mannan, which can generally be divided into two categories: α- Mannan oligosaccharides and β- Mannan oligosaccharides. α-  Mannose oligosaccharides are cleaved by yeast cell wall mannan α- Obtained by the (1-6) key, while β-  Mannan oligosaccharides are usually broken down β- The (1-4) - glycosidic bond is obtained from plants rich in mannan. Mannan oligosaccharides, as prebiotics, can selectively stimulate the growth or metabolic activity of a limited number of microorganisms in the body, inhibit intestinal pathogens, and improve the integrity of intestinal mucosa.


The difference between food grade mannan oligosaccharides and feed grade mannan oligosaccharides lies in their production process and quality standards. Food grade mannan oligosaccharides typically use higher purity raw materials, with stricter production processes to ensure that the product meets food safety standards and is suitable for human consumption. Feed grade mannan oligosaccharides are mainly used for animal feed additives, and their purity requirements are relatively low.


The content of mannan oligosaccharides produced by Nanjing Tessin Biotechnology Co.,Ltd. varies depending on the product, and the specific content can generally be determined based on the label or instruction manual on the product packaging. The company's mannan oligosaccharide products usually comply with relevant national standards and regulations, with reliable quality.

2. In what fields can food grade mannan oligosaccharides be applied?

Food grade mannan oligosaccharides can be widely used in various fields, mainly including the following aspects:

Food industry: As a food additive, it is used to manufacture various functional foods, such as probiotic beverages, dairy products, cereal products, nutrition bars, etc., to enhance their nutritional value and functionality.


Healthcare: As a prebiotic ingredient in medicine and health products, it helps promote intestinal health and enhance immunity. It is commonly used in the manufacturing of probiotic products, nutritional supplements, etc.


Animal nutrition: used as an animal feed additive to improve animal digestion and absorption function, promote growth and development, and enhance breeding efficiency.

Food grade mannan oligosaccharides can be used as raw material components in the production and manufacturing of prebiotics and probiotics.


Food grade mannan oligosaccharides, as prebiotics, can provide a nutritional substrate for the growth of probiotics, helping them to reproduce and grow in the intestine. Therefore, in the production and manufacturing of prebiotics and probiotics, food grade mannan oligosaccharides are often used as raw material components, combined with probiotics to produce products with probiotic functions.
