Basic Info
Fructooligosaccharides (CAS 9013-95-0): Premium Soluble Prebiotic Fiber for Modern Food & Nutritional Formulations
Fructooligosaccharides (FOS), identified under CAS 9013-95-0, are naturally derived oligosaccharides composed of fructose units linked by beta-(2,1) glycosidic bonds, typically terminated by a glucose unit. Produced via controlled enzymatic conversion or extraction from plant sources, FOS serves as a versatile soluble dietary fiber and low-calorie sweetening agent.
Because human digestive enzymes in the upper gastrointestinal tract cannot hydrolyze these beta-linkages, FOS passes largely intact into the colon. There, it functions as a selective substrate for beneficial gut microorganisms, such as Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli. Featuring approximately 30% to 50% the sweetness of sucrose alongside clean taste dynamics, FOS is widely utilized to optimize fiber content, reduce caloric density, and balance flavor profiles in diverse food and beverage applications.

To meet rigorous global food safety standards and support hassle-free regulatory clearing for international importers, our Fructooligosaccharides are manufactured under audited, certified facilities:
FSSC 22000 / ISO 22000: Comprehensive food safety management system governing the entire production workflow from raw material receiving to packaging.
HACCP Certification: Systematic preventative approach identifying chemical, physical, and biological hazards in food processing.
Halal & Kosher Certified: Fully compliant with religious dietary requirements for global market distribution.
GRAS Status & EU Novel Food Compliance: Recognized as safe for food inclusion across major regulatory jurisdictions including US FDA and European authorities.
Documentation Suite: Full technical support provided with every shipment, including Certificate of Analysis (COA), Safety Data Sheet (SDS), Allergen Statements, Non-GMO Declarations, and Heavy Metal/Pesticide Screening Reports.
Product Packaging
Every production lot of CAS 9013-95-0 undergoes stringent analytical verification within our accredited quality control testing center prior to batch release:
Purity & Oligomer Composition (HPLC): Quantitative analysis performed via High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) to verify the precise ratio of GF2 (Kestose), GF3 (Nystose), and GF4 (Fructofuranosylnystose).
Dry Matter & Moisture Content: Moisture levels in powder forms are strictly limited (typically ≤ 5.0%) using Karl Fischer titration/loss on drying to prevent caking and microbial growth.
Physicochemical Testing: Verification of pH range (4.0–7.0 in aqueous solution), clarity, and ash content (≤ 0.5%) to ensure consistent performance in acidic or thermal food processing.
Microbiological Screening: Total Plate Count (TPC), Yeast & Mold, E. coli, and Salmonella are routinely screened in accordance with international food safety limits.
Heavy Metals & Contaminants: Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) testing ensures Lead, Arsenic, Cadmium, and Mercury remain far below statutory limits.
Fructooligosaccharides provide both functional health attributes and physical texturizing benefits across multiple food manufacturing sectors:
Dairy & Dairy Alternatives: Enhances creaminess and mouthfeel in low-fat yogurts, fermented milk drinks, and plant-based protein beverages while serving as a prebiotic fiber source.
Dietary Supplements & Functional Powders: Ideal active ingredient for digestive health stick-packs, gut health blends, and meal replacement powders due to its excellent dispersibility.
Bakery & Cereal Products: Acts as a partial sugar replacer and humectant in nutritional bars, high-fiber biscuits, and breakfast cereals, retaining moisture and extending shelf-life.
Confectionery & Beverages: Synergizes with intense sweeteners (e.g., Stevia, Sucralose) in low-sugar gummies and functional beverages to mask lingering aftertastes and provide natural bulk.
Recommended Processing Notes:
Thermal Stability: FOS displays good heat stability under neutral or slightly acidic conditions (pH > 4.5) up to standard pasteurization temperatures.
Acidic Environments: In highly acidic systems (pH < 3.5) under prolonged high heat, partial hydrolysis into monomeric fructose and glucose may occur; tests under specific processing conditions are recommended.
FAQ
A: While both are fructans with prebiotic properties, FOS has a lower degree of polymerization (DP 2–8) compared to standard inulin (DP 2–60). Consequently, FOS dissolves faster in cold liquid, exhibits lower viscosity, and provides a sweeter, cleaner taste profile without clouding transparent beverages.
A: Yes. FOS is widely used as a bulking agent alongside high-intensity sweeteners like stevia, monk fruit, or sucralose. It replaces the physical volume lost when sugar is removed while rounding out the flavor profile and improving mouthfeel.
A: FOS powder is hygroscopic and should be packed in multi-layer craft paper bags or fiber drums with food-grade polyethylene inner liners (typically 20 kg or 25 kg per unit). Store in a cool, dry warehouse below 25°C and 60% relative humidity, kept away from direct sunlight and strong odors.
