Physiological Functions As a prebiotic, it can be fermented by beneficial bacteria in the colon such as Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus. However, due to its high degree of polymerization, the fermentation speed is slower than that of standard inulin products. In the food industry, it can be used as dietary fiber, sugar and fat substitutes, thickeners, emulsifiers, gelling agents, etc. High-degree-of-polymerization inulin can improve the texture of products such as low-fat dairy products, candies and sausages.
Intestinal Microbiota Regulation unknown
