What is agar oligosaccharide?

Agarose, as a kind of marine polysaccharide, has relatively good water retention and moisture retention. However, due to its high viscosity, large molecular weight and low solubility, it is not easy to be digested and metabolized by human body, which greatly limits its application in many fields such as food and medicine. Therefore, in order to broaden its application fields, agarose can be degraded by physical, chemical and enzymatic methods to produce agarose oligosaccharides with small molecular weight or low polymerization degree. Agarose produced by Fujian Huanhai Bio-organisms is easily soluble in water, which is beneficial to human digestion and metabolism and breaks through the limitation of agarose application. Agar oligosaccharide is a new type of marine functional oligosaccharide with irreplaceable biological activity, so it has good development potential. Agarose is a hot research topic in recent years. Researchers are exploring various degradation methods to prepare Agarose and improve its biological activity, so as to further expand the application of Agarose in various industries. ? Agar oligosaccharides not only contain the properties of ordinary oligosaccharides, but also have unique biological activities that ordinary functional oligosaccharides do not have, and have biological activities and pharmacological effects on the body such as antioxidation, antitumor, anticancer and immune enhancement. The biological activities of microorganisms mainly include bacteriostasis, proliferation of intestinal probiotics, antivirus, etc. At the same time, agar oligosaccharides also have other physiological activities such as anti-starch aging, moisturizing and skin care, makeup and whitening.
