Description
Stachyose is a naturally occurring tetrasaccharide found in plants, particularly abundant in legumes such as soybeans and broad beans. Since stachyose is not digested by enzymes in the human small intestine, it passes through the stomach and small intestine and directly enters the large intestine, where it is fermented and utilized by beneficial bacteria such as bifidobacteria and lactobacilli. Therefore, stachyose is often used in the production of prebiotic supplements, helping to improve digestive health and enhance the immune system. Stachyose can also promote the absorption of minerals like calcium and magnesium, increasing the overall nutritional utilization in the human body.
