Rice husks are rich in xylan, which can be hydrolyzed by xylanase to form xylooligosaccharides (XOS). XOS are a functional oligosaccharide such as improving gut microbiota and antioxidant properties. In this study, the structure and functional characteristics of XOS were studied.

- Xylooligosaccharides (XOS) are prebiotic oligosaccharides derived from lignocellulosic biomass, gaining popularity in research due to their health benefits.
- This paper reviews production strategies for XOS, highlighting the two-stage method of alkaline pre-treatment followed by enzymatic hydrolysis, along with advanced purification techniques like membrane filtration.
- XOS are known for their physiological benefits, including blood glucose regulation, lipid reduction, and enhancement of gut microbiota diversity.
Most of the functional substances in food are absorbed in the small intestine, but before entering the small intestine, the strong acid and enzymes in the stomach limit the amount that can reach the small intestine. Therefore, in this paper, to develop a delivery system for functional food ingredients, maintain the biological activity of the ingredients, and deliver them to the target digestive organs, preparation of starch-based functional food nano-microcapsule delivery system and its controlled release characteristics were reviewed. Embedding unstable food active ingredients in starch-based nano-microcapsules can give the core material excellent stability and certain functional effects.
