Inulin (CAS NO : 9005-80-5)

Inulin is a soluble dietary fiber belonging to the fructan group. Characterized by its unique B (2, 1) linkages, it remains undigested in the upper gastrointestinal tract, reaching the colon where it undergoes selective fermentation. We utilize world-class manufacturing infrastructure-including specialized hot-water extraction and membrane filtration-to deliver Inulin with varying degrees of polymerization (DP). From Long-Chain Inulin for structural gelation to Instant/Soluble Inulin for beverage fortification, our portfolio is optimized for high dispersibility and neutral flavor profiles. We are an established Inulin supplier providing 90%+ fiber content across diverse grades, ensuring optimized solubility and caloric reduction (approx. 1.5 kcal/g). We provide a comprehensive range of Chicory-derived fructans with full analytical (HPLC for DP distribution) and supporting quality assurance documentation (COA/TDS/SDS), detailed sugar-profile analysis, and region-specific regulatory support (EFSA/FDA). We ensure reliable lead times from pilot-scale R&D to commercial-scale industrial procurement, enabling partners to meet the surging global demand for prebiotic and sugar-reduction solutions.

Chemical Properties & Specifications

Applications of Inulin

Digestive Health & Prebiotics

Gold standard for stimulating the growth of beneficial Bifidobacteria. Used in supplements and functional foods to improve gut microbiome diversity and mineral absorption (especially Calcium)

Dairy & Plant-Based Alternatives

Acts as a superior Fat Mimetic. Aability to form a creamy, gel-like structure allows manufacturers to reduce fat content in yogurts, ice creams, and vegan milks without compromising mouthfeel

Bakery & Sugar Reduction

"Double-duty" benefit by acting as a low-calorie bulking agent for sugar replacement while simultaneously enhancing fiber content and moisture retention in bread and biscuits

Nutraceuticals & Synbiotics

Co-formulated with probiotics to create synbiotic "Gut-Brain Axis" supplements targeting immune support and metabolic wellness

Infant Nutrition

Highly purified grades are utilised in infant formulas to mimic the prebiotic effect of human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs)

DP is the scientific key to functionality. Long-Chain Inulin (DP $\ge 23$) is optimized for fat replacement; it creates a micro-crystalline structure that mimics the sensory properties of fat. Short-Chain FOS is optimized for sweetness and solubility. By choosing the correct grade, procurement teams reduce the need for secondary stabilizers and emulsifiers, directly lowering the raw material cost per batch while maintaining a "Clean Label" status.

While both are fibers, Inulin is a Validated Prebiotic. It has a specific B (2, 1) bond that is selectively fermented by Bifidobacteria, whereas corn fibers may have more generalized fermentation profiles. For B2B partners, this allows for specific label claims such as "Supports Digestive Health" and "Prebiotic Fiber," which carry significant market authority and consumer trust.

Inulin is naturally hygroscopic. Our Instant/Granulated grades are engineered with a specific particle size distribution to ensure superior flowability. This prevents "bridging" in hoppers and "clumping" during sachet filling. For procurement, this technical superiority results in faster line speeds and lower "Weight Variation" rejects, improving overall plant efficiency.

We bridge the gap between formulation and compliance. We provide batch-specific COA/TDS and detailed Sugar Profiling (Glucose/Fructose/Sucrose content). This data is critical for Sourcing Managers who need to calculate final calorie counts and sugar-labeling requirements for "No Added Sugar" or "Reduced Calorie" products in the EU and North American markets.

Timeline: We maintain a reliable lead time of 7–8 Weeks for commercial volumes up to 5MT, aligned with global crop harvest and processing cycles. Packaging: Supplied in 25 Kg moisture-barrier kraft bags or 500 Kg - 1000 Kg Jumbo bags for industrial-scale mixing. Logistics: Offered Ex-Works or CIF, supported by full traceability from chicory field to final extract.
