What Is Inulin?
Inulin is widely distributed in nature. Some fungi and bacteria also contain inulin, but its main source is plants.
Inulin is a colloidal form contained in the protoplasm of cells, different from starch, it is easily soluble in hot water, ethanol will be precipitated from the water, and iodine does not react. Moreover, inulin is readily hydrolyzed into fructose in dilute acid, a characteristic of all fructans. It can also be hydrolyzed to fructose by inulase. Enzymes that break down inulin are lacking in both humans and animals.
Inulin is another form of plant energy storage besides starch. It is an ideal functional food ingredient and a good raw material for the production of oligosaccharides, polyfructose, high fruit syrup and crystalline fructose.
How Inulin Works
Inulin is a naturally water-soluble dietary fiber that is almost impossible to hydrolyze and digest by stomach acid and is only used by beneficial microbes in the colon to improve the intestinal environment. Studies have shown that the degree of bifidobacteria proliferation depends on the initial number of bifidobacteria in human colon. When the initial number of bifidobacteria decreases, the proliferation effect is obvious after using inulin; when the initial number of bifidobacteria increases, the effect is not obvious after using inulin. Secondly, inulin can enhance gastrointestinal peristalsis, improve gastrointestinal function, increase digestion and appetite, and improve body immunity.
Food reaches the colon, after digestion and absorption in the gut saprophytic bacteria (escherichia coli, bacteroides, etc.), can produce many toxic metabolites (such as ammonia, nitrosamines secondary bile acid, phenol and methyl phenol, etc.), and inulin was fermented in colon of short chain fatty acids can lower colonic pH, restrain the growth of the saprophytic bacteria, reduce the generation of toxic products, Reduces irritation to the intestinal wall.
Chemical Make-Up
Elevated Efficiency The main component of inulin is a linear chain of fructose molecules. It is a polydisperse carbohydrate with a high degree of polymerization (DP) and a beta-2,1 glycosidic bond. The following is the usual chemical structure of inulin:
Formula for Chemicals: C6H10O5.n Polymerization Degree (DP): 2–60

Product Function
High performance inulin offers a range of functional benefits. It is known to promote digestive health by serving as a prebiotic, which helps beneficial bacteria thrive in the gut. This can lead to improved digestion and absorption of nutrients. Inulin also has a low glycemic index, making it suitable for individuals with diabetes or those looking to manage their blood sugar levels. Additionally, inulin acts as a natural sweetener and can be used in various food and beverage applications.
Applications
It has a wide range of applications in the food, pharmaceutical, and dietary supplement industries. It can be used as a natural ingredient in products such as functional foods, beverages, dietary supplements, and more. Inulin can enhance texture, provide a creamy mouthfeel, improve stability, and replace fat or sugar in various formulations. It is versatile and can be incorporated into a variety of products to enhance their nutritional profile.
