Description
Products Description
Xylooligosaccharides (XOS) are short-chain carbohydrates composed of xylose units, produced by enzymatic hydrolysis of xylan-rich plant material such as corn cob, sugarcane bagasse, or wheat bran. What distinguishes XOS from broader-spectrum prebiotic fibers like FOS or inulin is its selectivity: its beta-1,4 xylose backbone is efficiently metabolized by bifidobacteria specifically, rather than feeding a wide range of gut bacteria indiscriminately - a structural property that makes it effective at meaningfully lower daily doses than many other prebiotic fibers.
Sheerherb's XOS Powder is produced through enzymatic hydrolysis for higher purity and consistency compared to acid-hydrolysis methods, with total XOS content verified on every batch. We supply supplement manufacturers, functional food and beverage producers, and infant/clinical nutrition formulators sourcing XOS raw material across a range of purity grades.

Product Benefits
XOS Powder is valued mainly for its selective prebiotic activity, which underpins most of its functional positioning:
1. Prebiotic & Gut Health Formulations
Its selective fermentation by bifidobacteria makes it a core ingredient in gut-health supplements, positioned around a more targeted mechanism than broad-spectrum fibers.
2. Low-Dose Efficacy Positioning
Because XOS is metabolized so efficiently by target gut bacteria, effective doses are meaningfully smaller than many other prebiotic fibers - a formulation advantage for capsule and low-volume delivery formats.
3. Functional Food & Beverage Processing Advantage
Its stability across a wide pH range and resistance to heat make it compatible with acidic beverages, baked goods, and thermally processed foods where other prebiotic fibers may degrade.
4. Infant & Clinical Nutrition Applications
Higher-purity grades (95%+) support use in infant formula and medical nutrition products requiring precise, well-characterized prebiotic fiber content.
Products Application
Dietary Supplements & Synbiotic Formulas
High-purity powder grades support capsule, tablet, and dry-mix sachet formulations targeting gut-health and synbiotic (prebiotic + probiotic) claims.
Functional Beverages & Fermented Products
Its pH stability supports inclusion in acidic beverages, kombucha, yogurt, and fruit juice applications without degradation.
Infant Formula & Medical Nutrition
95%+ purity grades meet the standardization requirements for infant nutrition and clinical formula applications.
FAQ
Q: What purity grades and formats do you offer for bulk orders?
A: 35%, 70%, or 95% total XOS, available in powder or syrup format, plus feed-grade options. Specs can be adjusted to your application, with COA, MSDS, and microbiological reports provided per batch.
Q: What is your MOQ for wholesale orders?
A: MOQ typically starts from 25kg, with standard packing in 25kg fiber drums. Flexible terms available for long-term partnerships and container-load orders.
Q: How do you ensure quality and stability during shipping?
A: Enzymatic hydrolysis process for consistent purity, packed in moisture-resistant, food-grade drums. Recommend storing in a cool, dry place away from odor-emitting materials.
Q: How do you ensure batch-to-batch consistency?
A: Every batch is tested for total XOS content and oligomer profile by HPLC, along with moisture and microbial limits, with full documentation provided for traceability.
Q: Do you support OEM/private label projects?
A: Yes - including custom blends with probiotics, inulin, or FOS for synbiotic and fiber-blend formulas. Our team can advise on purity grade selection and compatibility for qualifying volumes.
