Chemical structure and properties:

 

Inulin is a heterogeneous collection of fructose polymers. It consists of glucosyl moiety and fructosyl moiety, which are linked by β(2,1) bonds. The degree of polymerization (DP) of standard inulin ranges from 2 to 60. After removing the fractions with DP lower than 10 during manufacturing process, the remaining product is high performance inulin.Some articles considered the fractions with DP lower than 10 as short-chained fructooligosaccharides, and only called the longer-chained molecules inulin.

 

Because of the β(2,1) linkages, inulin is not digested by enzymes in the human alimentary system, contributing to its functional properties: reduced calorie value, dietary fiber and prebiotic effects. Without color and odor, Inulin has little impact on sensory characteristics of food products. Oligofructose has 35% of the sweetness of sucrose, and its sweetening profile is similar to sugar. Standard inulin is slightly sweet, while high performance inulin is not. Its solubility is higher than the classical fibers. When thoroughly mixed with liquid, inulin forms a gel and a white creamy structure, which is similar to fat. Tri-dimensional gel network, consisting of insoluble sub-micron crystalline inulin particles, immobilizes large amount of water, assuring its physical stability.It can also improve the stability of foams and emulsions.

 

Introduction:

 

Inulins are a group of naturally occurring polysaccharides produced by many types of plants,industrially most often extracted from chicory.The inulins belong to a class of dietary fibers known as fructans. Inulin is used by some plants as a means of storing energy and is typically found in roots or rhizomes. Most plants that synthesize and store inulin do not store other forms of carbohydrate such as starch.

 

Inulin, also known as a polysaccharide, is a soluble fibre classed as a fructan. Fructans are chains of fructose indigestible by our body, but loved by the good bacteria in our gut flora. Since our body cannot digest the fructans, inulin has very little impact on blood sugar and unlike other sugars is not insulemic.

A daily dose of the recommended intake of inulin promotes immune system function, supports the cardiovascular system, and enhances the absorption of minerals in the body. Furthermore inulin can be vital for weight loss or calorie reduced diets, works as a digestive aid, and can be invaluable for diabetics.

Inulin health benefits:

 

1.Digestive health: inulin is a prebiotic that helps promote digestive health by stimulating the normal, beneficial bacteria in the colon. Both inulin and oligofructose are effective prebiotics and bifidogenic at a daily consumption of 5g/day.

 

2.Bone health: inulin may boost calcium absorption, which is important to building and maintaining strong bones. A positive effect on calcium absorption has been demonstrated in teens and postmenopausal women.

 

3.Weight management: Diets rich in fiber, such as inulin, may help maintain a feeling of fullness for longer periods after eating. inulin products also improve the nutritional value of food products by increasing the dietary fiber content and potentially reducing the caloric content while maintaining the properties that make food enjoyable to eat.

 

4.Negligible impact on glycemic response: Inulin is suitable for use in a low glycemic diet. Inulin, as a food ingredient, does not significantly impact blood sugar levels.

 

5.Fiber enrichment: A diet rich in soluble fiber, such as inulin, helps to maintain a healthy digestive tract and may help promote regularity
