THE EVALUATION AND APPLICATION OF A GLUCOSE OLIGOSACCHARIDE

A glucose oligosaccharide, composed chiefly of maltose to maltoheptose, was prepared. The pH value and osmotic pressure of 25% solution were 6.5 and 275 mOsm/kg H2O respectively. It could be administered orally in large amount without any untoward reaction. Food hygenic, toxicological, and nutritional studies showed that it was safe and nontoxic. Nine volunteers taking this as the chief energy source (62.5% of total energy) for six days could keep their body weight and physical work capacity. The absorption of vitamins B2 and C was not influenced as shown in 4-hour urine load test. It was an excellent carbohydrate source in enteral nutritional preparations, could also be applied in instantaneous food. It was beneficial to babies, children and old ages.
