Food Grade Seaweed Oligosaccharides Regulating Intestinal Health

【NUGLY LB/166R Material Information】

【NUGLY LB/166R Product Application】
1. Probiotic function: regulating the balance of gut microbiota
Seaweed Oligosaccharides cannot be directly broken down by human digestive enzymes, but can be selectively utilized by beneficial bacteria in the intestine (such as bifidobacteria and lactobacilli) to promote their proliferation, while inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria such as Escherichia coli and improving the intestinal microbiota environment.
Mechanism of action: By providing beneficial bacterial metabolic substrates, reducing intestinal pH, inhibiting pathogen adhesion, and enhancing intestinal barrier function.
Application scenarios: dairy products (yogurt, probiotic drinks), functional drinks, meal replacement foods, etc., especially functional foods suitable for intestinal health needs.

2. Antioxidant function: Delaying oxidation and extending shelf life
Seaweed Oligosaccharides contain a large number of active groups such as hydroxyl and carboxyl groups, which can scavenge free radicals (such as hydroxyl radicals · OH, superoxide anions O ₂⁻ ·), inhibit lipid oxidation and protein denaturation, thereby delaying food oxidation and spoilage.
Mechanism of action: By providing electrons or protons, the free radical chain reaction is terminated, reducing oxidative stress damage.
Application scenario: oil food (nuts, fried food), meat products (sausages, Rice-meat dumplings), fruit and vegetable juice, etc. can reduce the use of preservatives and improve the natural fresh-keeping ability of food.

3. Enhance immune activity: improve the body's resistance
Seaweed Oligosaccharides can enhance the non-specific immune function of the body by regulating the activity of immune cells such as macrophages and T lymphocytes, promoting the secretion of cytokines such as interleukin and tumor necrosis factor.
Mechanism of action: It binds to surface receptors of immune cells, activates signaling pathways, and promotes the expression of immune factors.
Application scenarios: Infant formula food, elderly nutrition food, sports nutrition food, etc., used as functional ingredients to enhance immune function.

4. Improving food texture: optimizing taste and stability
Seaweed Oligosaccharides have certain viscosity and water holding capacity, and can be used as thickeners, stabilizers, or texture improvers to improve the taste, water holding capacity, and stability of food.
Mechanism of action: Through intermolecular hydrogen bonding, it binds with water, proteins, or starch in food, enhancing the viscosity and water holding capacity of the system.
Application scenario: Improving water holding capacity and softness in baked goods (bread, cake); Jelly and pudding can enhance the strength of gel; Preventing whey precipitation in dairy products.

5. Low calorie and dietary fiber supplementation: adapted to meet the needs of a healthy diet
Seaweed Oligosaccharides have low calorie content (about 1-2 kcal/g) and belong to water-soluble dietary fiber. They can increase food satiety, reduce calorie intake, promote intestinal peristalsis, and prevent constipation.
Application scenarios: Low fat food, weight loss meal replacement food, high fiber biscuits, etc., to meet consumers' health needs of "low calorie, high fiber".
