The intestine is often called the "second brain". There are trillions of microorganisms living inside it. The health of these microorganisms has a direct impact on our immunity, emotions and thinking patterns. To maintain intestinal health, we need a sufficient number of active microorganisms, namely "probiotics".

Manno-oligosaccharides are widely found in konjac flour, guar gum, sesbania gum and various microbial cell walls (glucomannan oligosaccharides). At present, the commercially available manno-oligosaccharides are mainly produced by enzymatic hydrolysis. They are a glucomannan complex extracted from yeast cell walls rich in poultry metal oxide enzymes by fermentation.

Mannos-oligosaccharides, as a kind of microbal ecological additive ,has become the focus the discussion in animal nutrition.This paper reviews the source of MOS ,physical and chemical characteristics,functional mechanism,applying effects and effected facts.Functional mechanism, Applying effects, Effected factors facts.

Oligosaccharides are polymers composed of 2-10 monosaccharide molecules through glycosidic bonds, and have different names depending on the glycosidic bonds. Different functional oligosaccharides commonly seen on the market include: isomalt oligosaccharides (IMO),fructooligosaccharides (FOS), galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS), xylooligosaccharides (XOS), lactofructooligosaccharides (LACT), soy oligosaccharides (SOS), inulin, etc.,

The World Health Organization and the nutritional community of various countries have given unified recommendations on dietary fiber intake, that is, the daily intake per person is between 25g and 35g. Because consuming more than 25 grams of fiber per day is very beneficial to health and helps prevent cardiovascular disease, diabetes and a series of other health problems, but the daily intake of Chinese residents is far from meeting this requirement.

Erythritol is white crystal, slightly sweet, with a relative sweetness of 0.65 , a cooling sensation, and low caloric value, about one-tenth of the caloric value of sucrose. Due to low solubility, it is easy to crystallize. Used in organic synthesis and biochemical research.

Polydextrose is a water-soluble dietary fiber in the form of white or off-white solid particles. It is easily soluble in water with a solubility of 70%. The pH value of 10% aqueous solution is 2.5-7.0. It has no special smell and is a health-care functional product. The food component can supplement the water-soluble dietary fiber needed by the human body.

In recent years, sugar control, fat reduction, and healthy living have become important ingredient trends in baked pastries. Sucrose-free and natural sweeteners are gaining increasing attention, as consumers pursue healthier sweetness.
