The present invention relates to a non-digestible prebiotic oligosaccharide modified so as to incorporate one or more monosaccharide units thereon and have a higher sweetness value than the unmodified oligosaccharide. Uses and methods of producing the non-digestible prebiotic oligosaccharides are also described.

The present invention relates to methods for improving the gastrointestinal tolerance of food and beverage products comprising sweet, low-digestible carbohydrates, and the use of one or more of D-glucose, fiber and protein for improving the gastrointestinal tolerance of food and beverage products comprising sweet, low-digestible carbohydrates.

The present invention relates to compositions comprising galactooligosaccharides (GOS) and probiotic bacteria obtained by a process comprising the step of growing the bacteria in a medium comprising GOS, such composition having the effect of boosting the synbiotic effect of the probiotic bacteria with the GOS. Health benefits of the probiotic bacteria as obtained by such a fermentation process are also contemplated.
