Galacto-oligosaccharide (GOS): Sweetener for Confectionary and Therapeutic for Gut

Galacto-oligosaccharides, also known as oligogalactose or oligolactose, typically comprise of plant sugars linked in a chain-like structure. Galacto-oligosaccharide (GOS) are naturally found in dairy products, certain root vegetables, and beans. Galacto-oligosaccharides are also known as bifidogenic prebiotics and are generally used for treating stomach disorders such as constipation as it stimulates the growth and activity of beneficial bacteria in the gut. Moreover, galacto-oligosaccharides are used as a primary ingredient in the infant’s milk or formula to replicate the human breast milk as galacto-oligosaccharides is one of the most prominent components of human breast milk.

Galacto-oligosaccharide (GOS) Market

The market for galacto-oligosaccharides is anticipated to show substantial growth in the coming years owing to rapid advancements in the food and beverage sector. The increasing consumer awareness about healthy eating habits, coupled with the plethora of benefits galacto-oligosaccharides offer, is propelling the growth of the market.

Frozen Food Market Size, Trend And Growth (2019 – 2026)


According to the current analysis of Reports and Data, the global Frozen Food market was valued at USD 260.8 Billion in 2018 and is expected to reach USD 366.3 Billion by year 2026, at a CAGR of 3.2%. They are preserved by a process of freezing and storing before cooking. It has a large market due to increased demand from the consumers. The freezing process helps to maintain the food in its original state till it is consumed. In this industry it involves two procedures for freezing, one is mechanical and the other one is cryogenic. The freezing process is required to safeguard the quality and its outer surface. The fast freezing helps to maintain the original cell structure of the food. Cryogenic freezing is one of the fastest process because it maintains the low fluid nitrogen temperature of around -196 degree Celsius.

The widespread adoption of frozen food amongst the consumers is its nutritious attribute. This items does not require any additional additives since microorganisms don’t develop when the temperature is beneath −9.5 °C (15 °F), which is adequate in anticipating the decay. There are few misconceptions about frozen food when compared with the packed foodstuff. The preservatives are present in packed items instead of frozen foods which are harmful to health. There are also misconceptions that freezing washes away the nutrients which is also another modern day myth. The freezing helps to cover the outer structure of the food which ultimately helps to preserve its nutrients. The rising preference for fresh and natural products is a restraining factor for this industry.
