Other than it is an enzyme that digests food, can anyone give more detailed information? What class of enzyme? What is it working with within our digestive tract, etc. Thanks. ps is there anything besides a pill that will work only just as good as beano, such as any generous of food?

Answers:    Beano is an enzyme-based dietary supplement that is alleged by its factory owner to reduce gas surrounded by the digestive tract, thereby preventing flatulence. It contains the enzyme alpha galactosidase that breaks down oligosaccharides such as raffinose, which is claimed that the human digestive tract does not contain. It relieves stomach gas.
Beano is a product containing the enzyme alpha galactosidase, which is derived from the fungus Aspergillus niger. The enzyme works in the digestive tract to break down the complex or branching sugars (polysaccharides and oligosaccharides) within foods such as legumes (beans and peanuts) and cruciferous vegetables (cauliflower, broccoli and brussels sprouts). The enzyme breaks those complex sugars into simple sugars, making these foods somewhat more digestible, and the negative emotional state that arise as a consequences of eating those foods are said to be smaller number pronounced as a result.
The polysaccharides and oligosaccharides found in these foods might otherwise go past through the small intestine unaffected. Once surrounded by the large intestine, those sugars may be worked on by intestinal flora, fermenting to produce the gas that cause discomfort.
Gas X pills work equal for some people. Drinking a great deal of water or non carbonated drink such as rime tea may help also.

It is the enzyme alpha galactosidase. Far more information can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beano_%28di...
