Question
What are the typical components of the remaining 65% in a Xylooligosaccharide (XOS) product that has a stated XOS content of 35%?
Answer
For a Xylooligosaccharide (XOS) product with 35% XOS content, the remaining 65% typically consists of other carbohydrates, such as xylose (the monomer of xylan), other types of oligosaccharides, and potentially some residual polysaccharides from the source material. There will also be a certain percentage of moisture. The exact composition of the remaining 65% can vary depending on the source material used for production (e.g., corn cob, wheat bran) and the specific manufacturing and purification process.
