What Are Mannan Oligosaccharides?
Mannan oligosaccharides consist of long chains of D-mannose units linked by α-(1-6) bonds, with shorter α-(1-2) and α-(1-3) side chains. These functional oligosaccharides are extracted from the cell walls of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, commonly known as baker’s yeast. MOS selectively promote the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, such as bifidobacteria and lactobacilli, thereby supporting a balanced intestinal microbiome. Additionally, they function as high-quality soluble dietary fiber prebiotics.
