1. Digestibility and absorption of fructooligosaccharides:

Traditional sweeteners ingested by humans, such as sucrose, are first decomposed by saliva and gastric juice, and then decomposed into monosaccharides by disaccharide hydrolase in the small intestine, and then absorbed and utilized by the body. Fructooligosaccharides are not easily broken down by saliva and gastric juice, so it is difficult to be absorbed and utilized in the small intestine. Experiments have shown that after normal people ingest oligofructose, their blood sugar level has hardly risen.

2. Fructooligosaccharide's activation and proliferation of beneficial bacteria in the intestine:

Modern microecology studies have shown that the human body itself carries a large number of microorganisms, and more than 100 species of symbiotic bacteria weighing 1kg live in the human intestine alone. Humans have formed a wonderful and harmonious balance with these symbiotic bacteria during the long-term evolution. According to their impact on the human body, human symbiotic bacteria can be divided into three categories: beneficial bacteria, harmful bacteria, and intermediate bacteria in between. Bifidobacterium (Bifidobacterium) is a representative beneficial bacteria, and breast-fed infants contain more intestines. With the increase of age, the number of bifidobacteria in the human body gradually decreases, and the harmful bacteria-Clostridium perfringocin (C1 Perfringocin) gradually increases. The number of bifidobacteria in the intestines of healthy people is about 1010-1011. The number of bifidobacteria in the elderly or patients will drop to 106-108. At the same time, 109-1010 E. coli and enterococci are formed, and these are harmful. The function of the flora produces spoilage and harmful substances in the intestines. After they are absorbed by the host, they will gradually accelerate the aging of the host. Therefore, it can be said that Bifidobacterium is a sign of youth and health. Bifidobacterium in the human body, acetic acid and lactic acid produced through fermentation can stimulate the intestinal wall and promote intestinal peristalsis, which is beneficial to improve constipation and diarrhea. The intestinal regulation effect of bifidobacteria is also manifested in: increasing vitamin synthesis, reducing blood cholesterol content, and improving immune performance.

The fermentation effect of bifidobacteria in the intestine greatly inhibits abnormal fermentation in the intestine and prevents the formation of spoilage and harmful substances in the intestine. There are two ways to increase the number of bifidobacteria: one is to take live bacteria products directly. In the 1990s, various live bacteria preparations of bifidobacteria appeared one after another in China, such as Ongli No. 1, saline bottles and so on. But the shortcomings of live bacteria preparations have also been exposed. In addition to these live bacteria preparations containing miscellaneous and dead bacteria, the bifidobacteria or lactic acid bacteria taken by the human body must enter the human large intestine safely and intactly to survive. It must "pass five barriers and cut six generals", like the high acid environment of the stomach and the small intestine. Fast peristalsis, mucin secreted in the intestines, etc. will eliminate a large number of these beneficial bacteria, so that only one-third of the bifidobacteria can survive in the body, and a small number of them can be colonized in the intestine. At the same time, the undomesticated live bacteria preparations (or "prebiotics") sold on the market, the strains carry drug resistance factors, as the human body takes live bacteria preparations, the drug resistance factors will be transmitted to each other in the human body. However, the spread of antibiotics makes antibiotics powerless to patients with this type of flora. Not only does it fail to achieve the original health purpose, but it also brings irreversible consequences to humans. The second is to ingest foods that can only allow bifidobacteria to multiply and not be used by other harmful bacteria. Professor Mitsuoka Zhizu from the University of Tokyo in Japan found that oligofructose has a good effect on promoting the proliferation of bifidobacteria. Twenty-three people were selected from the age group of 64 to 82 and asked them to consume 8g of fructooligosaccharide food every day for two consecutive weeks. The composition of the intestinal flora immediately changed, and the number of bifidobacteria in almost everyone increased significantly, on average per gram there are 109 to 1010 feces. In Bama County, Guangxi, my country, recognized by the United Nations as the "Hometown of Longevity in the World", the feces of 41 longevity stars over the age of 100 found that the content of bifidobacteria was as high as that of adolescents, while other harmful bacteria were lower than the average elderly people. Hidaka Xiuchang also tested in the middle-aged women population to prove that it can restore their original bifidobacteria content (5%) to the level of young people (25%), and still maintain it on the 8th day after stopping the administration. At the level of adolescents, it can be seen that oligofructose is a strong bifidus proliferation factor.

3. Fructooligosaccharide detoxification:

Harmful substances in the human body mainly include: ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, amines, phenols, indole, pyrrole and other pollutants and "stool", as well as beta-glucosidase, glycocholic acid and hydroxylase, etc. Carcinogen. These endotoxins not only cause bad mouth odor, ulcers of the lips and tongue, lack of elasticity, dry hair, facial acne and black halo, constipation, diarrhea, dizziness, frailty and other symptoms, but also may suffer from organic diseases and even cancer. Taking oligofructose can eliminate harmful substances in the body and reduce the burden on organs such as liver and kidney. The mechanism of oligofructose to remove harmful substances is: oligofructose can rapidly multiply bifidobacteria and form a bacterial membrane on the intestinal mucosa, making it difficult for pathogenic bacteria to colonize. Bifidobacteria are being cultivated and a large amount of fructooligosaccharides are fermented at the same time. , Thereby producing acetic acid, propionic acid, folic acid and lactic acid, changing the pH value of the intestinal lumen, degrading carcinogens, directly inhibiting the growth of pathogens, and accelerating the advancement of the intestinal cavity. In addition, oligofructose is an excellent water-soluble dietary fiber, soluble in water, easy to eat, and not absorbed by the human body and harmful bacteria. Fructooligosaccharides cooperate with bifidobacteria to form rectal defecation reflex and play a detoxification effect. The detoxification method of this micro-ecological technology is very safe and effective, without any toxic side effects. And some laxatives, such as the rhubarb of Chinese medicine, the fruit guide of western medicine, etc., detoxification is the bowel reflex formed at the cost of intestinal mucosal tissue dehydration, and sometimes even peels off the cells of the intestinal mucosal tissue. New symptoms of constipation appear. 114 Fructooligosaccharides can enhance human immunity. In 1997, the Food Supervision and Inspection Institute of the Ministry of Health of China proved: Fructooligosaccharides can significantly increase the number of antibody-forming cells and NK cell activity, and enhance immune function. Its mechanism of action is: Fructooligosaccharides can produce a large amount of immune substances through the proliferation of bifidobacteria, such as S-TGA immunoglobulin. Its ability to prevent bacteria from attaching to the intestinal mucosal tissue is 7-10 times that of other immunoglobulins; The bifidobacteria can also stimulate the intestinal immune cells strongly, increase the number of antibody cells, activate the activity of macrophages, and strengthen the human immune system.
