Xylotriose

47592-59-6

Xylotriose is a trisaccharide consisting of three xylose units linked by β-(1,4)-glycosidic bonds. It is a member of the Xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS) family, which are derived from the breakdown of xylan, a major component of hemicellulose in plant cell walls. As a non-digestible oligosaccharide, xylotriose is a potent prebiotic that promotes the growth of beneficial gut bacteria and is a subject of research for its potential health benefits.
