Bioactivity | Stachyose tetrahydrate, a functional oligosaccharide, acts as a prebiotic. Stachyose tetrahydrate can prevent indirectly colon cancer cell growth by promoting the proliferation of probiotics or producing beneficial materials in the intestine[1][2]. |
Invitro | Stachyose tetrahydrate inhibits Caco-2 cell proliferation and induces apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner[1].Stachyose highly promotes proliferation of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) by inducing LAB to produce more α-galactosidase to hydrolyze stachyose[2]. |
