Where is Stachyose Tetrahydrate?

Stachyose tetrahydrate is a naturally occurring tetrasaccharide, which is widely distributed in legumes and some labiatae plants. For example, stachyose can be extracted and separated from the traditional characteristic vegetable grass silkworm (mannlus). Because it can significantly promote the proliferation of bifidobacteria, in recent years, many functional foods have used stachyose to adjust the intestinal flora. It has good thermal stability, moisture retention and hygroscopicity, is easily soluble in water, and its osmotic pressure is close to that of sucrose, but its effect is completely different from that of sucrose.
 

It is a naturally occurring tetrasaccharide, an oligosaccharide composed of 4 monosaccharides. It can promote the proliferation of beneficial bacteria in the body. Its structure is expressed as: fructose-glucose-galactose-galactose (chemical formula C24H42021, molecular weight 666.59) Its solubility in water is 130 grams (20°C); its melting point is 101°C, it loses water at 115°C in vacuum, and the melting point of anhydrous is 167°C-170°C. Here is the specification for you reference:

What are Benefits of Stachyose Tetrahydrate?

Stachyose tetrahydrate can promote the value-added of beneficial bacteria in the intestinal tract and ensure the superiority of beneficial bacteria in the intestinal tract, thereby inhibiting the production of spoilage bacteria, so as to quickly improve the internal environment of the human digestive tract and adjust the microecological balance. Therefore, Shuitangsu is also commonly called: food for beneficial bacteria.

1. Regulate gastrointestinal function

It will be decomposed and utilized by beneficial bacteria such as bifidobacteria after entering the large intestine to regulate and improve intestinal function;

2. Prevent and improve diarrhea and constipation

It can shorten the residence time of food in the intestinal tract, increase the water content of stool, effectively prevent and relieve infant constipation and diarrhea, and inhibit intestinal diseases.

3. Adjust immunity

After being used by bifidobacteria in the large intestine, stachyose can decompose certain active factors to promote the production of immunoglobulin antibodies, which can enhance the immunity of infants and young children.

4. Promote the absorption of vitamin B

Stachyose tetrahydrate can effectively promote the synthesis and absorption of vitamin B family, and can effectively reduce the intestinal absorption of carcinogens.

5. Lead discharge effect

It has the effect of clearing the intestines, detoxification and lead.

6. Promote calcium absorption

The acidic substance produced by the decomposition of stachyose by bifidobacteria can increase the solubility of calcium, so it can promote calcium absorption.

What is application of Stachyose Tetrahydrate?

1. It can be added to liquid foods, such as lactic acid drinks, vinegar drinks, beer and other beverages, to develop new functional foods, and the addition amount is small, the effect is significant, and the flavor of the original food will not be damaged.

2. It has active factors, which can absorb toxic substances and pathogenic bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract, improve the body's disease resistance and enhance immunity, so it can be widely used in medicine.

3. Adding to baked foods can retain moisture and change the rheological properties of the dough.

4. Stachyose is not hydrolyzed by digestive enzymes, and its metabolism does not depend on insulin, which can meet the needs of special populations such as diabetes, obesity and hyperlipidemia.

5. It can promote the body's absorption of calcium and magnesium, and can be used as an ideal raw material for the development of food for pregnant women and the elderly.
