Difructose Anhydride III (DFA III)(CAT: M001402) is a non-reducing disaccharide composed of two fructose units linked through an anhydride bond. It is typically produced through the enzymatic conversion of inulin and is used as a functional sweetener in food products. DFA III has garnered interest for its prebiotic effects, promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, such as Bifidobacteria, which supports digestive health. It is also recognized for its role in improving calcium absorption, making it valuable in food formulations aimed at enhancing bone health. In addition to its health benefits, DFA III is stable under heat and acidic conditions, making it versatile in food processing and formulation.
