GOS is a mixture of oligosaccharides with lactose as raw material and by the action of beta-galactosidase. It is an oligosaccharide which links the galactose molecule with beta(1-4), beta(1-6), beta(1-3) bonds on the galactose group in the molecule of lactose. The molecular formula is(Galactose)n-Glucose. The main components are galactosyl transfer oligosaccharides (TOS) and galactosyl transfer disaccharides (TD).
