Description
Oligosaccharide is a saccharide polymer containing a small number of monosaccharides. Oligosaccharides are formed when two or more monosaccharides join together by O-glycosidic bonds. Examples include sucrose, lactose and maltose. Most oligosaccharides have a mildly sweet taste. Other characteristics, such as the mouthfeel they lend to food, have drawn the interest of the food industry. The most common oligosaccharide food additives are inulin and oligofructose.
