Excerpts from article: Oligosaccharides in mature soybeans are mainly raffinose (0.1-0.9%) and stachyose (1.4-4.1%) (Hymowitz et al., 1972). Raffinose contains a fructose, a glucose, and a galalctose, while stachyose contains one more galactose. Both have a beta-fructosidic linkage and an alpha-galactosidic linkage. Their presence in soybeans has been linked to flatulence associated with human consumption of soy products and therefore is generally considered undesirable. Yet, according to Tomomatsu (1994), oligosaccharides are a powerful prebiotic and have been successfully commercialized in japan for years. A prebiotic is defined as a nondigestible food ingredient that beneficially affects the host by selectively stimulating the growth and/or activity of one or a limited number of bacteria in the colon. It modifies the composition of the colonic microflora in such a way that a few of the potentially health-promoting bacteria, especially lactobacilli and bifidobacteria, become predominant in numbers (Roberfroid, 1998).
