FOSLIFE®

FOSLIFE®

FOSLIFE® is a natural sugar substitute made from cane sugar by an unique proprietary enzyme process to enable the conversion of sucrose. It consists of short-chain fructo-oligo-saccharides (sc-FOS) naturally found in vegetables like onions, asparagus, tomatoes, other fruits, wheat and grains. Technically fructo-oligo-saccharide (FOS) is a natural form of sucrose molecules to which one, two or three additional fructose units are added by β-2,1-glycosidic linkages to the fructose unit of sucrose. FOSLIFE® is the future of sweeteners with low calories and low glycemic index yet with great taste.
