High-Purity Xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS) Powder - Premium Prebiotic Ingredient for B2B

As your trusted supply chain partner for functional food ingredients, we provide premium-grade Xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS) Powder in bulk quantities. Our XOS is characterized by its exceptional purity and superior stability, making it the ideal high-efficiency prebiotic for demanding food, beverage, and supplement formulations targeting gut health innovation.

What Is Xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS) Powder?

Xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS) Powder is a highly potent prebiotic fiber derived from renewable plant materials such as corn cobs, bamboo, or sugarcane bagasse through advanced enzymatic hydrolysis. It consists of short-chain polymers of xylose molecules, typically with a degree of polymerization between 2 and 7, which are resistant to digestion in the upper gastrointestinal tract.

This advanced prebiotic is renowned in the industry for its remarkably low effective dosage and outstanding technological properties. XOS maintains exceptional stability across a wide pH range (2.5-8) and at high temperatures (up to 160°C), making it uniquely suitable for challenging applications including acidic beverages, baked goods, and heat-processed foods without degradation of its prebiotic efficacy.

The Efficacy of XOS Powder

Highly Potent Bifidogenic Effect: XOS demonstrates exceptional selectivity in stimulating the growth and activity of beneficial Bifidobacteria in the colon, with clinical studies showing effectiveness at doses as low as 1-3 grams per day. This makes it one of the most efficient prebiotics available for significantly improving the gut microbiota composition and supporting overall digestive wellness.
Enhanced Metabolic Health Support: Regular consumption of XOS has been shown to positively influence metabolic parameters, including supporting healthy blood sugar levels and lipid metabolism. Its low glycemic index and minimal caloric contribution (approximately 1.5-2.0 kcal/g) make it particularly valuable for functional foods targeting metabolic syndrome management and diabetic-friendly formulations.
Superior Technological Performance in Formulations: The exceptional acid and heat stability of XOS ensures complete retention of prebiotic functionality through various food processing conditions, including UHT treatment, pasteurization, and baking. Its high solubility, low viscosity, and minimal impact on taste and texture allow for seamless incorporation into diverse product matrices without compromising sensory qualities.
Bone Health and Mineral Absorption Enhancement: Emerging research indicates that XOS consumption can significantly enhance the absorption of essential minerals, particularly calcium and magnesium, in the colon. This unique property positions XOS as a valuable ingredient for developing functional products aimed at supporting bone density and preventing osteoporosis, especially in specific demographic segments.

How We Ensure Premium Quality

Our quality assurance system implements rigorous controls throughout our supply chain, from raw material selection to final packaging. We partner with GMP and ISO 22000 certified manufacturing facilities that utilize state-of-the-art enzymatic production and purification technologies. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing using validated methods including HPLC for purity assessment and ICP-MS for heavy metal screening, ensuring consistent compliance with our strict quality standards.

Sources of Our XOS

We utilize sustainably sourced non-GMO raw materials, primarily corn cobs from selected suppliers, for our Xylo-oligosaccharides production. This carefully managed sourcing strategy guarantees both consistent quality and reliable supply scalability, while supporting circular economy principles through the valorization of agricultural by-products for high-value ingredient manufacturing.

Safety and Compliance

Our Xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS) Powder is manufactured in facilities certified to GMP, ISO 22000, and FSSC 22000 standards. It complies with global food safety regulations and holds GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) status for use in food and beverage products. We provide complete documentation support including batch-specific Certificates of Analysis (COA) that verify purity, safety parameters, and regulatory compliance for your quality systems.

FAQs

What is the recommended dosage of XOS Powder for prebiotic effects?

Clinical studies demonstrate that XOS exerts significant bifidogenic effects at low daily dosages of just 1-3 grams, making it one of the most potent prebiotics available. This low effective dose simplifies formulation challenges and reduces ingredient costs in final products.

How does XOS compare to FOS in terms of efficacy and stability?

XOS demonstrates superior selectivity for Bifidobacteria compared to FOS and exhibits exceptional acid and heat stability for prebiotics, maintaining functionality in harsh processing conditions where FOS might degrade. This makes XOS particularly suitable for acidic beverages and heat-processed foods.

Can XOS be used in diabetic-friendly products?

Yes, XOS is an excellent low glycemic prebiotic fiber with minimal impact on blood glucose levels. Its low digestibility and caloric value (1.5-2.0 kcal/g) make it ideally suited for diabetic-friendly formulations and low-carb product development.

Do you offer XOS for private label supplement manufacturing?本

We provide comprehensive support for private label XOS powder manufacturing with flexible solutions from bulk supply to finished product packaging. Our technical team can assist with formulation optimization, dosage recommendations, and regulatory support. Contact us to discuss your specific requirements.

What is the difference between 95% purity and lower purity XOS products?

Our high-purity XOS powder (95%) contains significantly higher concentrations of the active xylo-oligosaccharides with correspondingly lower amounts of xylose and other sugars. This higher purity translates to better prebiotic efficacy per gram, improved stability, and reduced potential for Maillard reactions in sensitive applications.
