A food product comprises an oligosaccharide composition that is digestion
resistant or slowly digestible. The oligosaccharide composition can be
produced by a process that comprises producing an aqueous composition
that comprises at least one oligosaccharide and at least one
monosaccharide by saccharification of starch, membrane filtering the
aqueous composition to form a monosaccharide-rich stream and an
oligosaccharide-rich stream, and recovering the oligosaccharide-rich
stream. Alternatively, the oligosaccharide composition can be produced by
a process that comprises heating an aqueous feed composition that
comprises at least one monosaccharide or linear saccharide oligomer, and
that has a solids concentration of at least about 70% by weight, to a
temperature of at least about 40.degree. C., and contacting the feed
composition with at least one catalyst that accelerates the rate of
cleavage or formation of glucosyl bonds for a time sufficient to cause
formation of non-linear saccharide oligomers, wherein a product
composition is produced that contains a higher concentration of
non-linear saccharide oligomers than linear saccharide oligomers.
