BRIEF INTRODUCTION:
Inulin is consisting of oligo- and polysaccharides which are based on fructose units linked together by ß(2-1) linkages. Almost every molecule is terminated by a glucose unit. The total number of fructose or glucose
units (= Degree of Polymerisation or DP) of inulin ranges mainly between 2 and 60. Inulin can be used as raw material or additives to food, dietary supplements or cosmetics.
APPLICATION:
Our inulin powder is extracted from Jerusalem Artichoke Tuber by a natural process. It is a short-chain inulin, the average DP (degree of polymerization) is 6-7. It can offer great prebiotic effects, improved solubility, and lower viscosity. It can be used in dietary supplements goods, beverage, dairy, bakery, cereals, confectionary, etc.
