Pure Inulin Powder

What is Pure Inulin Powder?

Pure Inulin Powder, also known as Synanthrin, as a natural dietary fiber, has many outstanding physiological functions, including promoting the proliferation of probiotics, inhibiting the growth of intestinal spoilage bacteria, improving the intestinal microenvironment, and regulating blood sugar levels. 

At the same time, inulin also exhibits excellent food processing properties, such as white powder appearance, no bad odor, easily soluble in water, slightly sweet, and can form a smooth and delicate gel.

Properties of Pure Inulin Powder:

1. Dissolution properties

The difference in Pure Inulin Powder solubility is related to its degree of polymerization and ambient temperature. Short-chain inulin is more soluble in water than long-chain inulin, and the solubility of inulin increases significantly with increasing temperature. The solubility of natural inulin and long-chain inulin in water at room temperature is 4. 92 g and 0. 92 g; when the temperature rises to 80 °C, its values increase to 31. 16 g and 22. 71 g.

2. pH of the solution

Inulin belongs to a kind of neutral polysaccharide. In theory, its water solubility is neutral, but due to the difference in the actual production process, the aqueous solution of inulin with different degrees of polymerization will show different acidity and alkalinity. The natural inulin aqueous solution is weakly acidic at room temperature, and its acidity increases with the increase of the mass fraction. The pH of the 2% and 20% natural inulin aqueous solution is 6. 97 and 6. 35; The aqueous solution of long-chain inulin is weakly alkaline, and the pH of 2% and 20% aqueous solution of long-chain inulin is 7. 04 and 8. 32.

3. Water holding capacity

Pure Inulin Powder has a strong water holding capacity, which can reduce the water activity in food, delay the evaporation of water, and prolong the shelf life of the product. Both temperature and degree of polymerization can affect the water-holding capacity of inulin. With the increase in temperature, the water-holding capacity of natural inulin and long-chain inulin both increased first and then decreased. The water-holding capacity of natural inulin reaches the maximum value (2.85 g/g water) at 40 ℃. In comparison, the water-holding capacity of long-chain inulin reaches the maximum value (2.92 g/g water) at 70 ℃.

How is Pure Inulin Powder produced?

The production process of inulin is similar to the preparation of sucrose. Usually, fresh chicory or Jerusalem artichoke is washed and shredded and then extracted with hot water. The extract is subjected to decolorization, neutralization, impurity removal, and other processes to remove protein, colloid, crude fiber, and pigment, and then undergo ion exchange. The membrane removes salt components, uses nanofiltration technology to concentrate and purify the solution, and finally through falling film evaporation and concentration and spray drying to obtain higher purity inulin.

Pure Inulin Powder Benefits:

1. Promote the proliferation of intestinal probiotics and improve the intestinal microecology

Although inulin cannot be digested and absorbed in the human small intestine, it can be fermented and utilized by various probiotics in the large intestine, reducing the pH value in the intestine, thereby inhibiting the proliferation of various spoilage bacteria, and indirectly reducing the production of intestinal endotoxins. Effectively improve intestinal health.

2. Regulate blood sugar levels

Inulin cannot be hydrolyzed into monosaccharides in the small intestine, and will not cause a significant increase in blood sugar levels in the body. It can also promote the body's absorption of Mg2 + and stabilize blood sugar. The European Food Safety Authority pointed out that fructooligosaccharides play a crucial role in glycemic control, and there is a significant correlation between it and the improvement of glycemic response after ingestion.

3. Lose weight

Pure Inulin Powder can increase the viscosity of stomach contents, slow the speed of food entering the small intestine from the stomach, reduce hunger, and reduce food intake. Inulin is not absorbed in the digestive system but is fermented in the colon, resulting in low heat energy, with a calorific value of about 4. 2 to 6. 3 kJ/g, equivalent to 26% to 39% and 11% to 16% of the caloric value of glucose and fat.

4. Improve constipation

Inulin can effectively increase the frequency of defecation and improve the quality of defecation, promote intestinal peristalsis, shorten the residence time of stool in the colon, and increase the quality and excretion of stool.

5. Promotes the absorption of minerals

Inulin can promote selective fermentation of colonic microorganisms, increasing the concentration of short-chain fatty acids and a decrease in the pH value in the intestine, resulting in the breakdown of mineral complexes, thereby promoting the release, dissolution, and absorption of mineral elements.

6 Lower blood lipids

Inulin can accelerate the decomposition of lipids and the production of cytoplasmic gene peptides, promote the proliferation of bifidobacteria, the production of short-chain fatty acids, and the elimination of bile salts and cholesterol in feces.

7. Reduce cancer risk and boost immunity

Inulin can specifically bind to the lectins of pathogenic bacteria, making it unable to adhere to the intestinal wall. Inulin can also stimulate the immune system, activate phagocytes, produce antibiotics, reduce the production of toxic substances, and balance the intestinal flora by promoting the growth and proliferation of bifidobacteria. The lactic acid and short-chain fatty acids produced by the fermentation of inulin in the large intestine reduce the activity of β-glucosidase, which is conducive to the emission of carcinogens such as nitrosamine and indole in the intestine.
