Stachyose Tetrahydrate is a white crystalline powder with significant biological activity and wide application potential. As a natural oligosaccharide, stachyose has a very obvious proliferation effect on the probiotics in the human gastrointestinal tract, and can quickly improve the environment of the digestive tract, thereby regulating the balance of the microecological flora. This regulatory effect can not only promote the dominant position of beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract, but also effectively inhibit the growth of spoilage bacteria such as Clostridium perfringens. The mechanism of action of stachyose includes promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria and inhibiting the reproduction of pathogenic bacteria and spoilage bacteria. This process is accompanied by the production of a large number of physiologically active substances, regulating the pH value of the intestine, effectively killing pathogenic bacteria and inhibiting the formation of spoilage products.

In addition, stachyose also has the effect of inhibiting the production and absorption of endogenous carcinogens, which has potential benefits for the prevention of intestinal cancer. It can decompose and derive a variety of factors with immunomodulatory functions, thereby enhancing the body's immune function. Due to these significant health benefits, stachyose is widely used in food, medicine, health products and nutritional supplements to improve the functionality and health value of products. In the food industry, stachyose is often used to improve the fiber content of food and promote intestinal health; in the field of medicine and health products, it is used to support the health of the digestive system and enhance the function of the immune system. These applications reflect the broad potential and practical value of stachyose as a functional ingredient.
