Oligofructose is a subgroup of the fiber known as Inulin. It is also known as fructooligosaccharide. Oligofructose is a soluble fiber that is not digested in the upper gastrointestinal tract thus no calories are derived from it. Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) are composed of short fructose chains. They are a type of carbohydrate called oligosaccharides. FOS occur naturally in many plants, like chicory root and Jerusalem artichoke. FOS can be used in combination with high intensity sweeteners such as stevia and monk fruit as a low-calorie, sweetener system. It is an ingredient in some brands of yogurt, nutrition bars, diet sodas, and other products, such as pet food. Consumers can enjoy products made with FOS instead of those containing sugar, which spike glucose levels in the blood, and cause weight gain. FOS may also be preferable to artificial sweeteners, some of which have been linked to everything from weight gain to diabetes.
