Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) are short and medium chain sugar molecules that your body cannot digest. FOS passes through your stomach and into your intestines where beneficial bacteria (also known as probiotics) and yeast feed on them.There, they help you digest food, cleanse your system, and enhance your immunity.ructooligosaccharides (FOS) are short and medium chain sugar molecules that your body cannot digest.

The oligosaccharides are the main components of this group of prebiotics. Components such as inulin and fructooligosaccharides (FOS) form substrates of good bacteria. Inulin and oligofructose consist of linear chains of fructose-molecules with a glucose-molecule as the ending element. Inulin has longer chains than FOS, and is therefore less soluble in cold water than oligofructose, whereby in humid environments it will form a gel. Inulin is also used as a replacement to fat, to avoid overweight and gives no change in taste and texture.
