Recent Advances in Quantitative Analysis of Fructooligosaccharide
Fructooligosaccharide(FOS)has a variety of physiological functions,such as regulating intestinal flora and lowering blood glucose level.As a kind of functional oligosaccharide,FOS is widely used in fields of food and nutrition,which is often added to infant formula food and cereal-based complementary food for infants and young children.In recent years,the techniques for the separation and analysis of FOS in plants and food have been developed,however,the diversity of FOS structure and composition poses challenges for its accurate quantitative analysis.The establishment of accurate quantitative methods for FOS is particularly necessary for its quality enhancement,efficacy research and quality regulation of related food.In this review,the research advances and current issues in quantitative analysis of FOS were summarized,and the challenges and future perspectives were also discussed.
