China Nutrition Grade Inulin Powder Inulin 86% 90% 95%

INULIN (powder) (P95)
Description Inulin is consisting of oligo- and polysaccharides which are based on fructose units linked together by ß(21)linkages. Almost every molecule is terminated by a glucose unit. The total number of fructose or glucose units
(= Degree of Polymerisation or DP) of inulin ranges mainly between 2 and 60.
Inulin can be used as raw material or additives to food, dietary supplements or cosmetics.

Raw material
Jerusalem artichoke tuber or chicory root.
