Products Description Raffinose is one of the most well-known trisaccharides in nature. It is composed of galactose, fructose and glucose. It is also called melitriose and melitriose. A functional oligosaccharide with strong proliferation of bifidobacteria. One of the main functional components in the well-known functional oligosaccharide-soybean oligosaccharide is raffinose. Raffinose is a pure natural functional oligosaccharide extracted from plants (beet molasses or cottonseed) by physical extraction.

It is a functional sweetener for acidic foods, beverages and baked goods (such as bread); it is not easy to absorb moisture and has good fluidity. It can be mixed with other powder ingredients to make powder, granules, flakes, capsules and other functional food. Applied in feed additives, it can mprove animal gastrointestinal flora, promote the growth of beneficial bacteria such as bifidobacteria, promote the synthesis of vitamins and other nutrients. Applied in cosmetics: to enhance the smoothness and freshness of the skin. It is non-irritating to the skin. It can be used in cosmetics and skin cleansers to improve the roughness of the skin and make the skin smooth and refreshing.
