Feature

Inulin powder is a reserve polysaccharide in plants, a natural fructan and oligofructose. It is mainly derived from the tubers of chicory. The degree of polymerization (DP) of inulin in natural plants is usually 2-60. According to the degree of polymerization, there are different types including short chain, medium chain, long chain, etc. It is a water-soluble dietary fiber.

Application

1. Inulin is an ideal functional food ingredient.
2. It is also a good raw material for producing oligofructose, polyfructose and high fructose syrup.
3. As a fat substitute, inulin has a creamy texture due to its chemical structure.
4. Inulin has a low sweetness, about 20% of sucrose. It does not decompose in the mouth, stomach and small intestine, only produces a small amount of calories, and does not affect blood sugar levels. Therefore, it can be used as a functional food additive for diabetics.

Function

1. Inulin powder is used by beneficial microorganisms in the colon, thereby improving the intestinal environment and regulating intestinal flora.
   Inulin and oligofructose can promote the proliferation of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli in the intestine.
2. Inulin can promote gastrointestinal motility and effectively relieve constipation. It also helps digestion and increases appetite.
3. Maintain lipid metabolism balance and improve the bioavailability of mineral elements.
4. Regulate blood sugar levels. Inulin reduces triglycerides in serum and liver and increases the ratio of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) to low-density lipoprotein (LDL) by activating AMPK and PI3-K/Akt pathways.
