D-(+)-Raffinose Pentahydrate is the an oligosaccharide composed of galactose, fructose and glucose, widely distributed in most plants.

It is also known as melitose, melitriose and gossypose. Raffinose can pass undigested through the stomach and the intestine in human body, it could be used in Low-Calorie food. Raffinose is the excellent nutrition source and generation factor of Bacillus bifidus and other beneficial bacteris. It can improve the defecation function and digestion function and promote the body absorption of calcium, thereby enhance the human immunity and take effect on disease precaution and anti-aging. Raffinose can be untilized to provide hupertonicity for cell desiccation prior to freezing in the process of cryopreservation. Raffinose is also the key component of the conservation transportation, and the synergist of prolonging the survival time of viable organism. Raffinose can also used for skin moisturing.
