Leucosaccharide is an exopolysaccharide produced by Leuconostoc mesenteries , one microorganism from Noster’s library, and is a special indigestible dietary fiber derived from gut microorganisms produced by assimilating sucrose.
So far, it has been confirmed that it promotes the secretion of IgA antibodies that enhance the immunity of the intestinal mucosa and reduces symptoms of chronic skin disease known as “psoriasis”. In addition, compared to other dietary fibers, it has the function of producing large amounts of short-chain fatty acids in the intestine, and has also been found to suppress increases in weight. Furthermore, to enhance immunity, leucosaccharides may lead to the prevention of diseases associated with lifestyle-related diseases such as obesity, and we are pursuing research and development on their use as new functional materials.
