What is Organic Mannan Oligosaccharide Powder?
Organic Mannan Oligosaccharide Powder is a bioactive prebiotic fiber extracted from the cell walls of certified organic Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast. This high-purity MOS powder (≥90% mannan oligosaccharides) selectively binds pathogenic bacteria (e.g., E. coli, Salmonella), preventing gut colonization while promoting beneficial microbiota growth. Ideal for animal feed, pet nutrition, and human dietary supplements.

FAQs
Q: What is Mannan Oligosaccharide (MOS) and how does it benefit gut health?
A: Mannan Oligosaccharide (MOS) is a type of prebiotic fiber derived from yeast cell walls. It functions by selectively feeding beneficial bacteria in the gut, promoting their growth and activity. This helps improve gut microbiome balance, supports digestive function, and contributes to a stronger immune system by inhibiting the adhesion of harmful bacteria.
Q: Is Organic Mannan Oligosaccharide Powder considered an allergen?
A: While derived from yeast, Organic Mannan Oligosaccharide Powder is generally considered non-allergenic and is distinct from common allergens like gluten, dairy, soy, and nuts. However, specific allergen declarations should always be confirmed based on your regional regulations and product formulation.
Q: What is the typical shelf life and recommended storage for bulk quantities?
A: Our Organic Mannan Oligosaccharide Powder typically has a shelf life of 24-36 months from the manufacturing date when stored in a cool, dry place (below 75°F/24°C), away from direct sunlight and moisture, in its original sealed, airtight packaging.
Q: Can Organic MOS Powder be used in both food and beverage applications?
A: Yes, its neutral taste and good solubility make Organic MOS Powder highly versatile for use in a wide range of applications, including solid foods (e.g., bars, cereals), powdered mixes (e.g., supplements, protein powders), and various beverages.
Q: How does Organic Mannan Oligosaccharide Powder compare to other prebiotics like FOS or GOS?
A: While FOS (Fructooligosaccharides) and GOS (Galactooligosaccharides) are also well-known prebiotics, MOS offers unique benefits, particularly its ability to selectively bind to pathogens and modulate the immune system more directly, in addition to its prebiotic effects. The choice depends on the specific functional benefits targeted in the final product.
