Stachyose hydrate（Cat No.:R023540）is a naturally occurring tetrasaccharide composed of two galactose units, one glucose, and one fructose, typically derived from legumes such as soybeans. It functions as a prebiotic, promoting beneficial gut microbiota, and is studied for its role in digestive health, immune modulation, and glycemic control. In biochemical research, stachyose is used to investigate carbohydrate metabolism, transport mechanisms, and enzyme activity. The hydrate form enhances its solubility and stability in aqueous solutions. Supplied at high purity, stachyose hydrate is intended for nutritional, microbiological, and physiological studies in research applications.
