Speciality product

FOSSENCE<sup>&reg;</sup>

FOSSENCE® (Short chain fructo-oligosaccharide) by Tata NQ is a 100% water soluble, prebiotic dietary fibre, manufactured by fermentation of cane sugar. It improves the growth of the gut microbiome and improves digestive and immune health.

  • Good humectant

    Traps moisture well and keeps the internal matrix soft and chewy, especially in cookies, bars, and cakes.

  • Easy to use

    100% water soluble and readily dispersible.

  • Great binding agent

    Acts as a good binder to improve firmness.

  • Sweetness enhancer

    Enhances the sweetness of existing fruit sugars in the product.

  • Sensorial enhancer

    Helps in masking off-taste and bitter notes.

  • Mouthfeel enricher

    Enhances texture and works synergistically with gums to improve viscosity.

FOSSENCE® by Tata NQ is a scientifically developed prebiotic with robust research demonstrating its potential health benefits. Studies show that FOSSENCE® consumption positively impacts Vitamin D3 biosynthesis by increasing metabolic flux, indicating its role in improving vitamin levels. Research on gut microbiome modulation revealed that FOSSENCE® enhances the abundance and diversity of beneficial bacteria such as Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus. Regular intake of FOSSENCE® significantly improved gut microbiota composition, while its withdrawal reduced bacterial diversity, showcasing its essential role in maintaining gut health.

Further clinical trials explored FOSSENCE®’s glycemic and insulinemic responses. Conducted with a randomised, controlled design among 25 healthy participants, the study found that FOSSENCE® does not elevate postprandial glucose or insulin levels, affirming its suitability for glycemic control. Research conducted using rodent models showed that FOSSENCE® improves skeletal parameters, increases serum butyrate levels, and mitigates bone loss caused by estrogen deficiency, suggesting its effectiveness in enhancing peak bone mass (PBM) and promoting new bone development.

Complementary studies underline FOSSENCE®s broader prebiotic impact. An interventional study with Yale University confirmed its ability to modulate gut bacterial taxa by boosting beneficial strains like Bifidobacterium and Blautia while suppressing harmful ones like Sutterella. In vitro studies further validated FOSSENCE®’s prebiotic properties under simulated conditions, highlighting its comprehensive health benefits and versatility as a dietary supplement.
