Product Introduction
Inulin is a naturally occurring storage polysaccharide found in plants, with over 36,000 identified species spanning families such as Asteraceae, Campanulaceae, and Gentianaceae (dicotyledons), as well as Liliaceae and grasses (monocotyledons). It is abundant in sources like Jerusalem artichoke tubers, chicory roots, peony tubers, and thistle roots. As a functional food ingredient, inulin serves as a key raw material for producing oligofructose, polyfructose, high-fructose syrup, crystalline fructose, and other derivatives.
A fermentable fiber classified as a prebiotic, inulin supports gastrointestinal health and may enhance calcium absorption. It naturally occurs in foods such as whole wheat, onions, garlic, and artichokes. While traditionally extracted from chicory roots, Jerusalem artichoke is now a common alternative, with raw material selection often influenced by regional preferences. As a dietary fiber, inulin promotes intestinal health, increases satiety, aids weight management, and improves heart health by lowering cholesterol. It also supports immune function. No dextrin is added during production.
