What is Organic FOS Syrup?
Organic FOS Syrup is a concentrated liquid form of fructooligosaccharides derived from organic chicory root or agave. With ≥75% FOS content and 70-75% solids, this viscous syrup offers seamless integration into liquid formulations, combining prebiotic benefits with natural sweetness for beverages, dairy alternatives, and infant nutrition.

FAQs
Q: How does FOS syrup differ from FOS powder?
A: Syrup is pre-dissolved for liquid formulations, saving processing time. Powder is better for dry mixes.
Q: Can it replace corn syrup 1:1?
A: Yes! Use 1:1 for texture; adjust sweetness with stevia or monk fruit.
Q: Safe for infants?
A: Yes! Complies with CODEX standards for infant formula.
Q: MOQ for bulk orders?
A: 200kg (IBC totes) for production; 10kg samples for R&D.
