Abstract

Oligosaccharides have 2nd effects such as improvement of mineral absorption, immune system, atopy, skin health, and others, based on prebiotic effect. Because of outstanding physiological functions of oligosaccharides, the demand of prebiotics is dramatically increased together with probiotics in the world. Because oligosaccharides are distributed not only as general foods but as health functional foods, the demand of oligosaccharides especially in Korea can be expected to increase continuously. However, because each oligosaccharide has different stability in various temperature and pH conditions, it is very important to choose proper oligosaccharide considering heat and pH treatment in the processes, pH in finished products and storage temperatures, and pH condition. Meantime, because daily dosage of each oligosaccharide is different, it’s also important to choose ideal oligosaccharide considering types of foods and intake quantities.
