Inulin, Orafti GR is a high purity inulin derived mainly from the chicory plant.
Orafti GR is a fine granular powder.
Inulin: Inulin is a mixture of oligosaccharides and polysaccharides, it is made of fructose units linked by beta (2,1) bonds, almost every molecule terminates in a glucose unit, inulin has a number of fructose or glucose units (degree DP value) between 2 and 60.
Composition specifications are expressed as dry matter. See technical manual for analytical methods.

Inulin, a functional oligosaccharide, is also a soluble dietary fiber. Inulin can increase the viscosity, improve the water binding ability of food, improve the organizational structure of food, and make the structure compact; Improves the taste and taste of food, and has durability, so it can be replaced with fat and sugar in food and beverages. Inulin is one of the most soluble dietary fibers found at present, with excellent solubility, with a solubility of 60g/L in 10 water and 330g/L in 90 water, and is especially easy to disperse in beverages, milk, yogurt and dairy products. Low-fat foods with inulin added have the same taste as full-fat products.
