CAS 470-55-3: Stachyose
Description:Stachyose is a tetrasaccharide composed of two galactose units, one glucose unit, and one fructose unit, making it a member of the oligosaccharide family. It is commonly found in various legumes, such as soybeans and peas, and is known for its role as a carbohydrate source in plants. Stachyose is not easily digestible by humans due to the lack of specific enzymes to break it down, which can lead to fermentation in the gut and result in gas production. This characteristic is often associated with the consumption of legumes. Stachyose has a sweet taste and is sometimes used as a food additive or sweetener. In terms of its physical properties, it is typically a white, crystalline powder that is soluble in water. Additionally, stachyose has potential health benefits, including prebiotic effects that may promote gut health by supporting beneficial bacteria. Its CAS number, 470-55-3, is a unique identifier used to specify this compound in chemical databases.
