Function
As a dedicated nutrient source for Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus,
Inulin can significantly proliferate beneficial bacteria and suppress the growth of harmful bacteria;
Restoring gut microbiota balance.Its prebiotic activity is comparable to fructooligosaccharides (FOS).
Fermented by beneficial bacteria to produce short‑chain fatty acids (SCFAs);
Inulin lowers intestinal PH, stimulates proliferation of intestinal mucosal epithelial cells;
Repairs damaged intestinal mucosa, strengthens gut‑barrier function;
Reduces endotoxin translocation into the bloodstream.
Short‑chain fatty acids boost intestinal peristalsis and raise faecal water content to relieve functional constipation.
Meanwhile, it modulates intestinal osmotic pressure to alleviate diarrhoea;
Provides auxiliary conditioning effects for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
By lowering intestinal PH, it facilitates the dissolution of calcium, magnesium and iron ions;
Increasing calcium absorption rate by 15%‑25% and lowering osteoporosis risk.
Inulin is especially suitable for middle‑aged and elderly populations.
Not absorbed in the upper gastrointestinal tract;
It features an extremely low glycaemic index (GI) and will not raise blood glucose;
Making it suitable for people with diabetes.
It also reduces serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels to assist blood‑lipid regulation.
Inulin increases food bulk, prolongs gastric emptying time, enhances satiety and cuts calorie intake.
In addition, it inhibits fat synthesis to support weight control.
Application
Yogurt & dairy products (texture improvement, thickening), functional beverages;
Baked foods (taste optimization, shelf‑life extension), meal‑replacement powders;
Ice cream, chocolate (anti‑crystallization)
Gut‑regulating probiotic preparations, constipation‑relief products;
Calcium‑absorption supplements, weight‑management products;
Special‑purpose foods for diabetic populations
Feed additives for livestock, poultry and aquaculture;
Improves intestinal health, enhances feed conversion ratio, reduces diarrhoea incidence
Auxiliary conditioning for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS),
Prevention of antibiotic‑associated diarrhoea;
Nutritional support for post‑surgical intestinal repair
