- Product Highlights
- Inulin Hydrolysates are natural ingredients and forms of dietary fibers found commonly in a number of popular vegetables and fruits that are part of our daily diet. They are not hydrolyzed or absorbed by the human digestive system
- Inulin and Inulin Hydrolysates consist of fructosyl units that are linked together by ß(2-1) bonds, which are resistant to hydrolysis by the human intestinal enzymes

Technical Details & Test Data
- Production Process Information
On an industrial scale, inulin is extracted from the chicory root (Cichorium intybus). The extracted native inulin is purified into a white powder. Inulin Hydrolysates are obtained by partial hydrolysis.
