Oligosaccharides are carbohydrates which have 3-10 simple sugars linked together. They are found naturally, at least in small amounts, in many plants. Plants with large amounts of oligosaccharides include chicory root, from which most commercial inulin is extracted, and so-called Jerusalem artichokes (the root of a member of the sunflower family). They are also found in onions (and the rest of the "onion family", including leeks and garlic), legumes, wheat, asparagus, jicama, and other plant foods. It is estimated that North Americans get about 1-3 grams naturally in their diets each day, while Europeans get 3-10 grams.
Most oligosaccarides have a mildly sweet taste, and have certain other characteristics, such as the mouthfeel they lend to food, that has drawn the interest of the food industry as a partial substitute for fats and sugars in some foods as well as improved texture. Because of this, more and more of the oligosaccharides in food are synthetically produced.
Recent interest has also been drawn to oligosaccarides from the nutritional community because of an important characteristic: the human digestive system has a hard time breaking down many of these carbohydrates. Almost 90% escapes digestion in the small intestine and reaches the colon where it performs a different function: that of a prebiotic.
What is a Prebiotic?
Prebiotic is a kind of an odd term, fairly recently coined to refer to food components that support the growth of certain kinds of bacteria in the colon (large intestine). At first it was thought that oligosaccharides were the main prebiotics, but it turns out that resistant starch and fermentable fiber also feeds these bacteria. We’re learning now that a whole other digestive system is happening in the colon, with important influences on the rest of the body.
What Are The Health Benefits of Prebiotics?
The bacteria that feed on fermentable carbohydrate produce many beneficial substances, including short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and certain B-vitamins. Additionally, there is some evidence that they may promote further absorption of some minerals that have escaped the small intestine, including calcium and magnesium.
The SCFAs probably provide many benefits, both locally in the colon, and in the rest of the body, although the research in this area is quite new. In particular, butyrate has received attention as possibly being protective of colon tissues from damage, including colon cancer and ulcerative colitis. Other possible benefits include:
lower cholesterol
lower triglycerides
improved insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism
improved immune system function
Interestingly, different oligosaccharides tend to produce different SCFAs – more reinforcement for eating a variety of foods.
Are Oligosaccharides Fiber?
Although oligosaccharides are fiber in most senses of the word (in particular, they would fall under the categories of both soluble fiber and fermentable fiber), they are mostly not labeled as fiber on food labels in the US at this time. Inulin from chicory root may be the only exception.
