At present, raffinose is produced commercially by purification from sugar beet at the factory of Nippon Beet Sugar Mfg. Co., Ltd., but its production is affected by the availability of sugar beet (Sayama et al. 1992).
The digestive enzymes in the gastrointestinal tract can have trouble breaking this complex sugar apart into simple sugars for absorption. As a result, in the lower intestine raffinose is metabolized by bacteria, and forms carbon dioxide, hydrogen and methane; this can cause abdominal bloating and gas.
