The xylo-oligosaccharides industry is entering a milestone transformation. On May 1, 2026, the national standard for xylo-oligosaccharides will officially be upgraded from GB/T 35545-2017 to GB/T 23528.3-2025. This revision marks the industry's transition from “scale expansion” to “quality-driven development.” It also reflects the country’s strong support for the standardization and quality enhancement of the XOS industry, signaling a comprehensive increase in industry entry standards and a new round of product quality upgrading.   I. Main Technical Changes Compared with GB/T 35545-2017   This document replaces GB/T 35545-2017 “Xylo-oligosaccharides.” In addition to structural and editorial adjustments, the major technical changes include:   Revised scope of application (see Chapter 1; Chapter 1 of the 2017 version) Removed the classification and requirements for XOS-20 grade (see Sections 6.2 and 7.3 of the 2017 version) Added requirements for maltodextrin as an auxiliary ingredient (see 7.1) Revised color requirements for syrup and powder products, as well as appearance requirements for powder products (see 7.2; 7.2 of the 2017 version) Removed hygiene requirements and corresponding test methods (see 7.4 and 8.9 of the 2017 version) Updated requirements for sensory evaluation (see 8.2; 8.1 of the 2017 version) Revised test methods for dry matter, transmittance, and pH (see 8.3, 8.6, and 8.7; 8.2, 8.5, and 8.6 of the 2017 version) Revised test methods for XOS content (see 8.8, Annex A, and Annex B; 8.7, Annex A, and Annex B of the 2017 version) Updated inspection rules (see Chapter 9; Chapter 9 of the 2017 version) Revised requirements for labeling, packaging, transportation, and storage (see Chapter 10; Chapter 10 of the 2017 version) II. Revision History   The release history of this document and its predecessor is as follows:   First released in 2017 as GB/T 35545-2017 This is the first revision III. Additional Notes (Compiled by This Website, Not Part of the Official Standard) Breakthrough Advantages in Testing Technology Compared with the previous standard, the new testing method improves anti-interference capability by 40%, enabling accurate differentiation between xylo-oligosaccharides and coexisting sugars such as glucose and arabinose. This ensures product purity of ≥95% for XOS-95 grade, meeting the stringent requirements of high-end health food applications. Full-Chain Control of Raw Materials and Production Process The new national standard clearly specifies that raw materials must be derived from corn cobs or corn stalks, rather than chemically synthesized sources. Optimized Enzymatic Hydrolysis Technology The enzymatic hydrolysis process adopts endo-type xylanase combined with an intelligent temperature control system to ensure that xylobiose to xylotetraose (XOS2-4) accounts for ≥70% of the product. These components are the core active ingredients for bifidobacteria proliferation, offering up to twice the efficacy of ordinary products. Refined Product Classification The new standard classifies xylo-oligosaccharides into XOS-95, XOS-70, and XOS-35 grades according to functional ingredient content, while eliminating the XOS-20 specification.

Core Identity: The Battle of Science   While both are leading sugar substitutes, they offer different value propositions: Erythritol: Considered the "Safe Card" of zero-sugar options, famous for its natural zero-calorie label. Allulose: A rising star characterized by low glycemic response and the ability to undergo the Maillard reaction. It is noted for superior tolerance and functional benefits for blood sugar management.   Application Scenarios: Where They Win   1. The Baking Track Erythritol’s Weakness: It cannot participate in the Maillard reaction, often resulting in baked goods with dull color and a dry texture. Allulose’s "Maillard Magic": It produces a caramel color and crispy texture similar to sucrose. It also helps extend shelf life due to low hygroscopicity.Example: Morinaga Milk's Allulose brownies saw a 23% higher repurchase rate than traditional formulas.   2. The Beverage Market Erythritol’s "Cooling Trap": Its heat-absorbing dissolution creates a cooling sensation, making it ideal for sparkling waters. Allulose’s Breakthrough: It lacks the cooling sensation, making it better for tea, coffee, and dairy. It can also mask the bitter aftertaste of other artificial sweeteners. Example: CJ Group’s Allulose milk tea offers a richer flavor profile.   3. Healthy Snacks Erythritol's Limitation: It provides sweetness but lacks additional health functionality. Allulose’s "Functional Synergy": It can be paired with dietary fiber for "sugar control + satiety" snacks. Animal studies even suggest it may inhibit fat cell differentiation. Example: Quest protein bars saw a 40% sales increase after adding an Allulose version.   Consumer Decision Guide Choose Erythritol when: Making beverages that require a cooling effect (e.g., sparkling water). Managing short-term sugar control (e.g., fitness enthusiasts). Budget is a priority; it costs only about 60% as much as Allulose.   Choose Allulose when: Seeking an authentic sugar taste and texture in baking or dairy .Developing functional foods with weight loss or antioxidant claims. Targeting the high-end market with premium products.   Conclusion: A Future of ComplementarityThe future of sweeteners is not about choosing one over the other, but using them as complementary tools. Brands are encouraged to use Erythritol for sparkling water and energy bars to reduce costs, while using Allulose as the core of baking and functional snacks to create product differentiation.

Functional upgrade: From "sugar-free" to "function +", demand continues to expand The domestic beverage healthization upgrade has entered a new stage: Previously, sugar-free beverages mainly focused on "0 sugar 0 calories" and achieved the goal of sugar control by relying on sugar substitutes; this new product of Coca-Cola, on the basis of sugar-free, adds prebiotics (resistant dextrin ≥ 5000mg/bottle), which means that the health demands of the consumer end have further upgraded, extending from simple sugar control to "sugar-free low calories + health benefits" in a diversified direction. This trend will directly drive the continuous expansion of the market space for sugar substitutes, prebiotics and other functional health raw materials. Products List: --Prebiotics: FOS / GOS / XOS / IMO  --Soluble fiber: Resistant dextrin, polydextrose --Sweetener: Isomalt, Allulose, Fructose,Isomaltulose

A naturally occurring carbohydrate, Xylooligosaccharide (XOS), is rapidly transitioning from a niche scientific subject to a sought-after ingredient in the global functional food and health market. Derived primarily from plant materials like corn cobs and bamboo, XOS is a prebiotic—a non-digestible fiber that selectively stimulates the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, particularly Bifidobacteria. Recent clinical studies are fueling this interest. Research published in the *Journal of Nutritional Science* demonstrates that daily supplementation with XOS significantly improves gut microbiota composition and enhances digestive comfort. Unlike some prebiotics, XOS is effective at low doses, stable under various pH and temperature conditions, and has a mildly sweet taste, making it exceptionally easy to incorporate into products.   "XOS represents a significant advancement in prebiotic science," said Dr. Anna Reed, a microbiologist. "Its high selectivity and efficiency support gut health, which is increasingly linked to overall immune function and metabolic wellness."   Capitalizing on these benefits, major food and beverage companies are innovating at speed. New product launches featuring XOS are appearing across categories, from fortified cereals and health drinks to sugar-reduced snacks and dietary supplements. Market analysts project the global XOS market to experience robust double-digit growth over the next five years, driven by rising consumer demand for natural, science-backed health ingredients.   As research continues to uncover wider potential benefits, including mineral absorption and blood sugar management support, Xylooligosaccharide is poised to become a cornerstone of preventative health nutrition worldwide.

Andrew N. Reynolds's review article "Dietary fiber as an essential nutrient," published in Nature, is highly influential. The core argument of this article is that dietary fiber should not be considered merely an "optional" nutrient, but rather should be established as an essential nutrient for the human body.   （Core Insights）： 1. Reclassification as an Essential Nutrient The central argument is that dietary fibre meets the criteria for an "essential nutrient." Reynolds argues that a lack of fibre leads to physiological dysfunction and chronic disease, similar to vitamin or mineral deficiencies.   2. Dose-Response Relationship The research highlights a clear dose-response relationship between fibre intake and health outcomes. The "Sweet Spot": Health benefits (reduction in chronic diseases) become most significant when daily intake reaches 25g to 29g. Greater is Better: Intakes beyond 30g daily provide even more substantial protection against non-communicable diseases (NCDs).   3. Broad-Spectrum Disease Prevention Reynolds synthesizes data showing that high fibre intake is strongly associated with a lower risk of: Cardiovascular Diseases: Reduction in heart disease and stroke. Type 2 Diabetes: Improved glycemic control and insulin sensitivity. Colorectal Cancer: Significant protective effects on gut health. All-Cause Mortality: People with high-fibre diets simply live longer.   4. Mechanisms of Action The paper explains why fibre is so effective, focusing on two main pathways: The Microbiome: Fibre acts as a prebiotic, fueling the gut microbiota to produce Short-Chain Fatty Acids (SCFAs) like butyrate, which have systemic anti-inflammatory effects. Physical Properties: It slows gastric emptying, improves satiety (weight management), and modulates blood glucose and cholesterol absorption.   5. The "Fibre Gap" Crisis A critical point of the paper is the global "fibre gap." Most populations consume significantly less than the recommended levels. Reynolds calls for urgent public health interventions and food policy changes to shift dietary patterns back toward whole, fiber-rich foods.   Article  from: Dietary fibre as an essential nutrient Andrew N.

As the global food industry accelerates toward “less sugar without sacrificing sweetness,” Isomalt is rapidly emerging as a next-generation sweetening solution. Combining excellent processing stability with proven health benefits, Isomalt is enabling innovation across a wide range of food applications—from confectionery and baked goods to sports nutrition and functional beverages. With its low caloric value, low glycemic response, tooth-friendly profile, and gut health potential, Isomalt is no longer just a sugar substitute—it is becoming a core functional ingredient in modern health-oriented formulations. What Is Isomalt? Isomalt—also known as Palatinose alcohol or Benefitol—is a low-calorie sugar alcohol derived from sucrose through enzymatic rearrangement followed by hydrogenation. It consists of an equimolar mixture of glucosyl-sorbitol (GPS) and glucosyl-mannitol (GPM), giving it a highly stable molecular structure. Key Physical & Functional Properties White, odorless crystalline powder Sweetness at 45–65% of sucrose, delivering clean and mild sweetness Caloric value approximately 50% lower than sucrose Lower solubility at room temperature, with sucrose-like solubility at elevated temperatures Insoluble in ethanol Unlike many traditional sugars, Isomalt remains exceptionally stable under heat, acidic, and alkaline conditions, showing minimal browning or degradation during processing. Its resistance to caramelization and microbial breakdown makes it ideal for long shelf-life products and demanding manufacturing processes. Global Market Outlook According to QYResearch, the global Isomalt market reached approximately USD 162 million in 2023 and is expected to grow to USD 489 million by 2030, achieving a strong CAGR of 17.19% (2024–2030).
