Market Overview:
Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) are short-chain fructose molecules naturally present in various plants, including chicory root, Jerusalem artichoke, and bananas. Recognized for their prebiotic properties, FOS promote the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, enhancing digestive health. Their low-calorie content and slight sweetness make them popular as natural sweeteners and dietary fibers in the food and beverage industry.
