SICAGOS: concentrate of galactooligosaccharides (GOS) with valuable nutritional benefits
EUROSERUM is marketing SICAGOS, a galactooligosaccharide concentrate in liquid form with high dry matter content. Galactooligosaccharides (GOS) are made of fibre from milk and act as prebiotics.
As prebiotics have proven beneficial effects on gut health and immunity* and thanks to its dairy origin and properties, SICAGOS is suitable for food and nutritional applications to which it can provide valuable benefits such as:
- Supporting a nutritional positioning strategy that meets consumer requests to easily consume fibre through daily food
- Contributing to a reduced-sugar objective as it can partially replace glucose and/or saccharose, and as fibre allows a lower calorie intake.
Boosting functionalities in food applications
SICAGOS’ properties facilitate its incorporation into food recipes and enhance functionalities in everyday food applications thanks to its ability to hold water and its good solubility.
Finished products that include SICAGOS benefit from a creamy mouthfeel and a slightly sweetened taste. It is also especially popular in:
- Bakery products where it maintains their smooth appearance
- In dairy drinks and fresh dairy for a raw material consistent approach
