Abstract
A food product comprising digestion resistant or slowly digestible oligosaccharide composition. The oligosaccharide composition can be produced by a process comprising producing an aqueous composition comprising at least one oligosaccharide and at least one monosaccharide by saccharification of starch, membrane filtering the aqueous composition to form a monosaccharide-rich stream and an oligosaccharide-rich stream, and recovering the oligosaccharide-rich stream. Alternatively, the oligosaccharide composition can be produced by a process comprising heating an aqueous feed composition with a solids concentration of at least about 70% by weight, comprising at least one monosaccharide or linear saccharide oligomer, to a temperature of at least about 40° C., and contacting the composition with at least one catalyst that accelerates the rate of cleavage or formation of glucosyl bonds for a time sufficient to cause formation of non-linear saccharide oligomers, wherein the product contains a higher concentration of non-linear saccharide oligomers than linear saccharide oligomers.
