  • Applications

    Stachyose (CAS 470-55-3) is a raffinose-family oligosaccharide primarily used as a dietary fiber and functional ingredient in food processing, contributing bulk and texture without strong sweetness. It is commonly evaluated as a potential prebiotic component and as a fermentable carbohydrate in specialty nutrition formulations. In agriculture and animal nutrition, it serves as a carbohydrate source in feeds and may influence gut microflora. In industrial biotechnology, stachyose can serve as a carbon source for microbial fermentation to produce enzymes or other bioproducts. In research and analytics, it is used as a reference material or standard for carbohydrate analysis and oligosaccharide characterization.
