Product name:Inulin from chicory root
Introduction:
The major component of chicory root is inulin, which is a polymer of fructose with -(2-1) glycosidic linkages. Inulin belongs to the fructan family; naturally occurring fructans are important storage carbohydrates, widely found in various flowering plants. Fructans are present in noticeable amounts in chicory, Jerusalem artichokes (up to 20%), salsify, asparagus and onions . Because inulin is soluble in water and not hydrolyzed by human digestive enzymes, it is expected to behave like a soluble fiber and to have a hypolipidemic effect. Both the fermentability and the bifidogenic effect of chicory fructooligosaccharides have been confirmed in in vivo human studies that were performed by feeding human volunteers a standard diet containing chicory fructooligosaccharides (15 g/d for 15 d). A significant increase in the bifidobacteria population and a profound modification of the composition of the fecal flora were observed .In human nutrition, inulin could constitute a promising source of soluble fiber either when present naturally in the food or when added to the diet . Inulin is easily extracted from plants such as chicory or Jerusalem artichokes.
