Molecular Structure:
Property:
Inulin is a natural food ingreadient that is found in more than 36,000 plants including Leeks, Onions, Jerusalem Artichoke, Chicory, Garlic and Wheat.
Inulin is mainly comprised of Fructose units and typically has a terminal Glucose. The Fructose units in
Inulins are joined by a Beta-(2-1) Glycosidic Link Plant
Inulin, which generally contains between 2 to 60 Fructose units. Our
Inulin is extracted from our local Jerusalem Artichike.

Usage:
Processed foods
Inulin is increasingly used in processed foods because
Inulin has unusually adaptable characteristics. The flavour ranges of
Inulin are from bland to subtly sweet (approx. 10% sweetness of sugar/sucrose).
Inulin can be used to replace sugar, fat, and flour. This is particularly advantageous because
Inulin contains a quarter to a third of the food energy of sugar or other carbohydrates and a ninth to a sixth of the food energy of fat. While
Inulin is a versatile ingredient. Inulin also has health benefits.
Inulin increases Calcium absorption and possibly Magnesium absorption, while promoting the growth of intestinal bacteria. Nutritionally.
Inulin is considered a form of soluble fiber and is sometimes categorized as a prebiotic. Due to the limited ability of the body to process polysaccharides,
Inulin has minimal increasing impact on blood sugar, and—unlike Fructose—is not Insulemic and does not raise Triglycerides, making it generally considered suitable for diabetics and potentially helpful in managing blood sugar-related illnesses. The consumption of large quantities (particularly by sensitive or unaccustomed individuals) can lead to gas and bloating, and products which contain
Inulin will sometimes include a warning to add it gradually to one's diet.
Industrial use
Nonhydrolyzed Inulin can also be directly converted to Ethanol in a simultaneous saccharification and fermentation process which may have great potential for converting crops high in
Inulin into Ethanol for fuel.
Medical
Inulin is used to help measure kidney function by determining the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). GFR is the volume of fluid filtered from the renal (kidney) glomerular capillaries into the Bowman's capsule per unit time.
Package and Storage:
Inulin is packed in 25kg pp bag, and stored in cool and air place.
