01 What are the effects of raffinose?

Shuisulin is a four sugar substance that already exists in nature, and is a functional oligosaccharide that can significantly promote the proliferation of beneficial bacteria such as bifidobacteria.
The vegetables we often consume and the traditional Chinese medicine used to treat diseases all contain stachyose.
It is widely found in plants of families and genera such as Leguminosae, Lamiaceae, and Scrophulariaceae, with cordyceps having the highest content and the longest history of consumption; The industrialized raffinose mainly comes from the plants of the family Lamiaceae, such as the grass stone silkworm and silver bar.
Shusu sugar has the effects of regulating gut microbiota balance, improving constipation, preventing and treating diarrhea, enhancing immunity, and lowering blood lipids and blood sugar. It is a high-quality new functional food ingredient.
This is mainly due to the health benefits of raffinose, which has a significant proliferative effect on beneficial bacteria such as bifidobacteria and lactobacilli in the human gastrointestinal tract. It can quickly improve the environment of the human digestive tract, regulate the microecological balance, control the production of spoilage bacteria such as Clostridium perfringens and acid producing bacteria, decompose and derive multiple immune functional factors, and has the effect of "preventing diseases".

At the same time, for young children with anorexia, picky eating, malnutrition, delayed intellectual and physical development, and low hematopoietic function; Adults with gastrointestinal disorders, indigestion, bad breath, constipation, bloating, hemorrhoids and colon cancer, reduced disease prevention and resistance, liver dysfunction, skin sores, yellowing and lack of luster have significant effects. Especially for constipation caused by imbalanced microbiota, the effect is far superior to current constipation medications and products such as regular moisturizing tea and weight loss tea.

02What are the application areas of water-soluble sugar in ?

China will continue to include the SuSu Sugar Project in the "Eighth Five Year Plan, Ninth Five Year Plan, Fifteenth Five Year Plan, and Eleventh Five Year Plan" for major scientific and technological breakthroughs. Shuisutang has been designated by the China Aerospace Food Research Institute as a special food for the astronauts of Shenzhou-3, Shenzhou-4, and Shenzhou-5, and is also known as the "best health product of the 21st century" by the World Health Organization.
According to the physicochemical and biological characteristics of stachyose, it is widely used in fields such as food, medicine, cosmetics, feed, brewing, and industrial additives. Specifically, the main application scope is as follows:
1. It can be added to liquid foods, such as lactic acid drinks, vinegar drinks, beer and other beverages, to develop new functional foods. The addition amount is small, the effect is significant, and it will not destroy the flavor of the original food.
2. There are active factors that can adsorb toxic substances and pathogens in the gastrointestinal tract, improve the body's disease resistance, enhance immune function, and therefore can be widely used in medicine.
3. Adding it to baked goods can retain moisture and alter the rheological properties of the dough.
4. Stachyose is not hydrolyzed by digestive enzymes, and its metabolism does not depend on insulin, which can meet the needs of special populations with diabetes, obesity, hyperlipidemia and other diseases.

5. Shusu sugar can promote the absorption of calcium and magnesium in the human body, making it an ideal raw material for developing food for pregnant women and the elderly.

03What is the prospect of the market for water sugar in ?

In recent years, the application of stachyose in the fields of food and nutrition has been increasingly sought after by enterprises and consumers. According to data, the output value of terminal functional products and nutritional health foods using raffinose as raw material has exceeded 5 billion yuan, and the output value of products using high-purity raffinose as an ingredient has exceeded 100 million yuan and is still growing.
According to the Research Report on Deep Analysis and Investment Feasibility Development Strategy of China's Stachyose Industry from 2021-2025 released by the New ThinkWorld Industry Research Center, the research and application of stachyose in the United States, Japan, Taiwan, China and other regions in the world are at the global leading level.
In 2019, the global production of raffinose industry approached 3300 tons, and the demand for raffinose in China's market reached 950 tons; As of the end of 2016, there were a total of 39 types of health foods in China that used stachyose as a functional ingredient, 66 types of ordinary foods that used stachyose as an ingredient, and a total of 1427 related invention patents involving stachyose.
From the perspective of production capacity distribution, the production capacity of China's stachyose industry is mainly concentrated in the central and western regions, with Shaanxi being the largest stachyose production area in China; From the perspective of demand distribution, influenced by factors such as consumption ability and consumption concept, the demand market for raffinose in China is mainly concentrated in economically developed regions such as Shanghai, Guangdong, Shenzhen, and Beijing. Overall, China's water sugar industry presents a market pattern of production in the central and western regions and consumption in the eastern region.

Therefore, many countries around the world consider stachyose as a basic health food, and its market prospects are broad; And there are no pollution sources generated during its production process, making it an environmentally friendly sunrise industry.
