It is an ideal functional food ingredient and it is also a good raw material for the production of fructooligosaccharide, polyfructose, high fructose syrup, crystalline fructose, and other products.
As a natural prebiotic, inulin could promote the growth of beneficial bacterias in the human gut, especially for bifidobacterium to balance the gut flora. Inulin has been listed as an important bifidobacterium growth factor. Meanwhile, it can also promote the absorption of calcium, regulate blood lipids, improve immunity, anti-caries, etc.
