Xylooligosaccharides are primarily composed of xylose units. They are often derived from plant sources, particularly fibrous materials like hemicellulose found in various plants.
It is a type of oligosaccharide, which is a carbohydrate composed of a small number of sugar molecules linked together. XOS consists of a short chain of xylose units, which are simple sugars. It is a concentrated form of XOS that is commonly used as a prebiotic and dietary supplement.

Product Use |
Xylooligosaccharides (XOS) are a type of oligosaccharide made up of short chains of xylose molecules. These molecules are naturally found in various fruits, vegetables, and grains. However, they can also be produced through industrial processes from the polysaccharide xylan found in corn cobs, rice straw, and oat husks.
Xylooligosaccharides are produced through hydrolyzing xylan from plant sources using enzymes or acids. The process can be performed using different methods such as steam explosion, microwave radiation, and ultrasonic treatment. XOS can also be produced through the fermentation of xylose using specific strains of bacteria or yeast. These production methods can vary in terms of purity, yield, and cost.
Xylooligosaccharides can be sourced from different types of raw materials, such as corn cobs, rice straw, and oat husks. These sources are widely available and can be sustainably produced, making XOS a renewable and environmentally friendly ingredient.
