Xylooligosaccharides and yoghurt

Xylooligosaccharide is a kind of functional sweetener with low calorie, and its caloric value is almost zero. It does not affect blood glucose concentration, increase insulin level in blood glucose, nor form fat deposition, so it can play a role in low-energy food, and meet the requirements of those who love sweets and are worried about diabetes and obesity. Therefore, diabetes and obesity patients can eat at ease.
Xylooligosaccharide has very good acid thermal stability. Even in the acidic condition (pH = 2.5-8.0), heating to 100 ℃ does not decompose. Therefore, xylooligosaccharide will not decompose the effective components in the process of processing or storage, which is very convenient to use and can be used in various food processing.
Xylooligosaccharides are difficult to be broken down by human digestive enzyme system. The digestion tests with saliva, gastric juice, pancreatic juice and small intestine juice are shown in the table: almost all kinds of digestive liquids can not decompose xylo oligosaccharide, so that xylo oligosaccharide can directly reach the human large intestine, which is preferentially used by bifidobacteria, which can promote the proliferation of bifidobacteria and inhibit the growth of other harmful bacteria. The effective intake is 0.7-1.4g/d, which is the proliferation effect of other oligosaccharides 10-20 times. The effective intakes of other functional oligosaccharides were: 5.0-20.0g/d of Fructooligosaccharide, 8.0-10.0g/d of galactooligosaccharide, 3.0-5.0g/d of lactulose, 3.0-10.0g/d of soybean oligosaccharide, 15.0-20.0g/d of Isomaltooligosaccharide, 5.0-10.0g/d of cottonseed sugar, 3.0-6.0g/d of lactulooligosaccharide.
In addition, xylo oligosaccharide also has the functions of moistening intestines, defecating, lowering serum cholesterol, lowering blood pressure, promoting the absorption of cations such as calcium, magnesium, iron, etc., not causing the disorder of insulin secretion, and benefiting the generation of B vitamins and folate in human body.  Therefore, it is widely used in low-energy nutrition food.
Plant protein beverage is a kind of beverage which is made of plant material with high protein content. There are bean milk, peanut milk and germ beverage. Soybean is a traditional food raw material in China, which contains 38% protein, 20% fat, 20% carbohydrate, 5% crude fiber and 5% mineral. The proportion of amino acids in the protein is close to the amino acid pattern of animal protein, and it is a safe protein. Soybean does not contain cholesterol, so it has the effect of reducing blood fat. The quantity of calories in soybean milk is only 175.8/kj • (100ml) - 1, but it contains no vitamins Organic salt and other nutrients make soybean have the effect of treating diabetes, iron deficiency anemia, preventing arteriosclerosis and preventing tumor. It is a green and healthy food that consumers are pursuing in recent years.
The combination of xylooligosaccharide and soymilk will produce a kind of healthy food suitable for people with high blood sugar, high blood pressure and high blood fat. It is in line with the development trend of low energy and high protein nutrition. I believe that the beverage will be highly recognized by consumers.
