Raffinose

Short Description:

Raffinose is one of the best known trisaccharides in nature. It is a combination of galactose, fructose and glucose. It is also known as melitriose and melitriose and is a Strongly proliferating bifidobacteria functional oligosaccharides [1]. Raffinose is widely found in nature, in many vegetables (cabbage, cauliflower, potatoes, beets, onions, etc.), fruits (grapes, bananas, kiwi, etc.), rice (wheat, rice, oats, etc.) Renzhong (soybeans, sunflower seeds, cottonseeds, peanuts, etc.) all contain raffinose in varying amounts; the raffinose content in cottonseed kernels ranges from 4-5%. One of the main functional ingredients in the well-known functional oligosaccharides-soybean oligosaccharides is raffinose
