Technical & procurement detail
Functional role of fructooligosaccharides (fos)+
FOS consists of short fructose chains attached to a terminal glucose unit. Its short chain length makes it highly soluble and mildly sweet, so it can add prebiotic fibre to beverages and dairy without the viscosity contribution of longer-chain fructans.
Powder or syrup is a process decision+
Syrup is convenient in liquid manufacturing but changes water balance and freight economics; powder suits dry blending and long storage. Both are quoted against their own supplier documentation, since the dry-matter basis for dosage is different.
Sweetness has to be accounted for+
Unlike long-chain fibres, FOS contributes noticeable sweetness, which usually means the sugar or sweetener system needs rebalancing when it is introduced. Describe your target sweetness and fibre level so the supplier can propose a suitable purity grade.
Documentation and specification+
Functional values differ between producers and grades. Allzone confirms the applicable grade with the supplier before quoting and shares the technical data sheet and safety data sheet for the exact material offered, so the values you evaluate are the values you receive.
Frequently asked questions
Do you supply FOS as syrup?+
Both powder and syrup forms are available from suppliers. State which your process requires and the matching documentation will be requested.
How does FOS compare to inulin?+
FOS has shorter chains, is more soluble and sweeter; inulin builds more viscosity. Both are listed and can be quoted together.
What packaging is available?+
Packaging is confirmed with the supplier at quotation for the grade and quantity discussed.
Can I request a technical data sheet?+
Yes — the supplier technical data sheet and safety data sheet are shared for the exact grade quoted.
Can you deliver to Ontario and Quebec food plants?+
Yes. LTL and FTL freight is arranged across Ontario, Quebec and Western Canada, with container-direct supply for repeat volumes.
