Mannan oligosaccharides (MOS) are indigestible low carbohydrates obtained by partial fermentation of manna and can generally be divided into two categories: α-mannan oligosaccharides and β-mannan oligosaccharides. α-mannan oligosaccharides are obtained through α-(1-6) linkages through the yeast cell wall mannose scaffold, while β-mannan oligosaccharides are usually obtained through mitochondria.
Mannan oligosaccharides have attracted great interest as a prebiotic substance. According to Gibson et al., the concept of prebiotics has expanded due to advances in microbiome research tools, leading to a new definition of prebiotics as “selectively exploited by host microorganisms to confer health benefits.” matrix". According to this new definition, mannan oligosaccharides (MOS), fructooligosaccharides (FOS), galactooligosaccharides (GOS), xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS) and inulin are classified as prebiotics rather than other non- carbohydrate.
The mannan oligosaccharides produced by Nanjing Tessin Biotechnology Co., Ltd. are α-mannan oligosaccharides, which are derived from the cell wall of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
1. Prebiotics: Mannan oligosaccharide is widely used as a prebiotic to promote the growth and activity of probiotics (beneficial intestinal flora), thereby maintaining the balance of intestinal flora. This helps support gut health and prevents the growth of harmful bacteria.
2. Food additives: Since mannan oligosaccharide is beneficial to the human body and animal intestines, it is used as a food additive to enhance the nutritional value of food. It can be added to a variety of foods such as yogurt, cereal, cereal bars, energy bars, etc.
3. Health products and nutritional supplements: Mannan oligosaccharide is made into health products and nutritional supplements for human or animal consumption to provide prebiotic benefits, support the immune system, and improve intestinal health.
4. Agriculture and animal husbandry: In agriculture and animal husbandry, mannan can be used as a feed additive to improve the growth performance, immune function and nutrient absorption of animals.
Mannan oligosaccharides are widely used in the animal industry as prebiotics. Their purpose is to selectively stimulate the growth or metabolic activity of a limited number of microorganisms in the body, inhibit intestinal pathogens, and improve the integrity of the intestinal mucosa.
Manno-oligosaccharides in dog food are usually a nutritional additive whose purpose is to provide for the intestinal health and nutritional needs of dogs.
One of the main reasons for adding manno-oligosaccharides to dog food is to help promote a balanced intestinal flora in dogs and support a healthy digestive system. It is thought to enhance the growth of good bacteria, thereby helping to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria.
In addition, mannan oligosaccharides can also simulate some components in dog breast milk to provide puppies with more comprehensive nutrition. This is very important for your puppy’s immune system development and overall health.
Mannan oligosaccharides can absorb pathogenic bacteria, protect the intestinal mucosa, and reduce intestinal diseases; they can increase the value of intestinal probiotics, prevent or relieve diarrhea, and maintain the balance of intestinal microecology.
Note: Mannan oligosaccharides can effectively absorb mycotoxins such as aflatoxin, fumonisin, zearalenone, DON, and T2.
In general, mannan, as a prebiotic, is widely used in the food industry, health products, agriculture and animal husbandry and other fields.
