mannanoligosaccharides

iMOS®（mannan oligosaccharide）

iMOS® is a mannan oligosaccharide obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis of a konjac glucomannan (KGM). It is a unique prebiotic with a degree of polymerization between 2 and 10. The distinctive feature of enzymatic cleavage is that it specifically exposes the mannose residues. Therefore, the non-reducing ends of iMOS® mannan oligosaccharide are mannoses.


Konjac is a natural plant grown in southwest of China including Sichuan Province. It has long been used in Chinese medicine for the treatment of asthma, cough, and skin disorder etc. 


iMOS® mannan oligosaccharide is approved by CFDA (China Food and Drug Administration) as a new and safe food material (Figure 1) and we are the only company that has successfully manufactured mannan oligosaccharide in industrial scale. Product specification of iMOS® mannan oligosaccharide is set as the national standard.

iMOS® mannan oligosaccharide is a premium quality prebiotic with a slight sweet taste. 100% water solubility and excellent stability allows it to be widely used in many forms of products for both the food and dietary supplement markets. It is ideal for yogurt, milk powder, beverages, etc. iMOS® mannan oligosaccharide is in the form of powder, and it can also be customized into different sizes according to customer requirements.
