Inulin powder is contained in the protoplasm of cells in a colloidal form. Unlike starch, it is easily soluble in hot water and precipitates from the water when ethanol is added. It does not react with iodine. Moreover, inulin is easily hydrolyzed to fructose under dilute acid, which is a characteristic of all fructans. It can also be hydrolyzed to fructose by inulase. Both humans and animals lack the enzymes that break down inulin.
Inulin powder is another form of energy storage in plants besides starch. It is an ideal functional food ingredient and a good raw material for the production of fructooligosaccharides, polyfructose, high fructose syrup, crystallized fructose and other products.

Application in food
1. Processed low-fat foods (such as butter, spreads). Inulin is an excellent fat substitute. When completely mixed with water, it will form a creamy structure, which makes it easy to replace fat in foods and Provides a smooth mouthfeel, good balance and rounded flavor. It can replace fat into fiber, increase the tightness and taste of the product, and stably improve the dispersion of emulsification. It can replace 30~60% of fat in cream and spread food processing.
2. Configure a high-fiber diet
3. It can be used as a bifidobacteria proliferation factor and is a prebiotic food ingredient.
4. Used in milk drinks, kefir, and liquid milk. Add 2~5% inulin to milk drinks, kefir, and liquid milk, so that the product not only has the functions of dietary fiber and oligosaccharides, but also can increase the consistency and give The product has a thicker, creamier mouthfeel, a better balanced structure and a fuller flavor.
5. Used in baked products
6. Used in fruit juice drinks, functional water drinks, sports drinks, fruit juices, and jelly. Adding 0.8~3% inulin to fruit juice drinks, functional water drinks, sports drinks, fruit juices, and jelly can make The drink has a stronger flavor and better texture.
7. Used in milk powder, fresh milk dried slices, cheese, and frozen desserts. Adding 8~10% inulin to milk powder, fresh milk dried slices, cheese, and frozen desserts can make the product more functional and more flavorful. Thick and better texture.
