Coffee oligosaccharides (COS) are novel sources of prebiotics comprising manno-oligosaccharides, galacto-oligosaccharides, arabinoxylan-oligosaccharides, and cello-oligosaccharides. These oligosaccharides function as prebiotics, antioxidant-dietary fiber owing to important physicochemical and physiological properties, adjuvants, pharma, nutraceutical food, gut health, immune system boosting, cancer treatment, and many more. Research suggests COS performs prebiotic action, as it enhances gut health by promoting beneficial bacteria in the colon and releasing functional metabolites such as SCFAs. However, research on COS concerning other metabolic illnesses is still lacking. Among various production strategies, pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis are preferred for the production of COS. Functional oligosaccharides can add value to coffee waste and reduce the environmental impact of coffee manufacturing, besides providing more options for healthy and active ingredients. This review updates COS, production, bio-activity, their role as a functional food, food supplements/natural food additives, prebiotics and many applications of health sectors. Research is desirable to extend information on COS and their bio-activity, besides in vivo and clinical trials, to assess their effects in prior human formulations into the food and therapeutic arena.
咖啡低聚糖（COS）是一种新型的益生元来源，包括甘露低聚糖、半乳低聚糖、阿拉伯木聚糖低聚糖和纤维二糖低聚糖。这些低聚糖具有益生元、抗氧化膳食纤维的功能，具有重要的物理化学和生理特性、佐剂、制药、营养食品、肠道健康、免疫系统增强、癌症治疗等多种功能。研究表明，COS 具有益生元作用，因为它可以通过促进结肠中的有益细菌和释放功能性代谢物（如 SCFAs）来促进肠道健康。然而，关于 COS 对其他代谢疾病的研究仍然缺乏。在各种生产策略中，预处理和酶解是生产 COS 的首选方法。功能性低聚糖可以为咖啡废料增加价值，减少咖啡生产对环境的影响，同时为健康和活性成分提供更多选择。本综述更新了 COS 的生产、生物活性、作为功能性食品、食品补充剂/天然食品添加剂、益生元以及在健康领域的应用。需要进一步的研究来扩展有关 COS 及其生物活性的信息，包括在体和临床试验，以评估其在以前的人体配方中对食品和治疗领域的影响。
