Inulin CAS:9005-80-5 Manufacturer Supplier

Inulin is a nondigestible oligosaccharide containing fructose which provides texture, rheology, dietary fiber properties, and selective fer- mentation by colon bacteria. commercially obtained from chicory root; common sources include onion, garlic, leek, asparagus, and jerusalem artichoke. it is a hygroscopic powder with solubility in water dependent on water temperature. with increasing concentra- tion, viscosity gradually increases, and at about 30% concentration, it can form discrete particle gels which are characterized as creamy and fat-like. it is not hydrolyzed by the digestive system. it func- tions as a prebiotic, passing into the colon where it is preferentially fermented by healthy bacteria such as bifidobacteria and lactobacilli to increase their proliferation and inhibit unwanted bacteria. it is used in ice cream products to replace fat and sugar, and in baked goods.

Application and Effect

Inulin has many potential uses in pharmaceutical applications, as a filler–binder in tablet formulations; to stabilize therapeutic proteins; or to enhance the dissolution of lipophilic drugs. Methacrylated inulin hydrogels have been investigated for the development of colon-specific drug delivery systems.Inulin is used as a diagnostic agent to measure the glomerular filtration rate. It is used in the food industry as a sweetener and stabilizer; and also as a prebiotic, where it has been shown to provide protection against inflammatory and malignant colonic diseases in animals. It is also used as a noncaloric dietary fiber supplement.Mixture of fructose polymers that serves as carbohydrate storage in plantsInulin is used in the treatment of high blood fats, cholesterol and triglycerides. It is also used for weight loss, constipation and also serves as a food additive to improve taste and as a vaccine adjuvant. Further, it is utilized to replace sugar, fat and flour. It is also used to measure kidney function by determining the glomerular filtration rate (GFR).
