Mannan-oligosaccharides (MOS)

Description

Mannan oligosaccharides (MOS) refer to oligosaccharides derived from partial hydrolysis of mannans, rendering them indigestible. Generally, MOS can be categorized into two types: α-mannose oligosaccharides and β-mannose oligosaccharides. α-Mannose oligosaccharides are obtained through the breakdown of α-(1-6) bonds found in yeast cell wall mannans, whereas β-mannose oligosaccharides are typically sourced from mannan-rich oligosaccharides by cleaving β-(1-4)-glycosidic bonds or derived from plants. Regarded as a premium prebiotic, MOS is often referred to as the "intestinal soft gold."
