Autoignition =Stachyose is an
tetrasaccharide consisting of two Dα-galactose units, one Dα-glucose unit, and one Dβ-fructose unit sequentially linked. Stachyose is naturally found in numerousvegetable s (e.g.green bean s,soybean s and other beans) and plants.Stachyose is less sweet than
sucrose , at about 28% on a weight basis. It is mainly used as a bulk sweetener or for its functional oligosaccharide property. Stachyose is not completely digestible by humans and delivers 1.5 to 2.4 kcal/g (6 to 10 kJ/g).References
