Overview
Description

Inulin molecule is a linear linear polysaccharide composed of D-fructofuranose molecules connected by β (2→1) bonds, and glucose molecules are often located at the end of each fructose chain. Inulin has a degree of polymerization (DP) of 2-60. The degree of polymerization and the presence of branching are important attributes affecting the functionality of inulin, including solubility, thermostability, sweetness, and probiotic activity. Due to the existence of β(2→1) bonds in the fructose monomer, inulin polysaccharides can resist the hydrolysis of digestive enzymes in the human digestive tract and will not be digested like typical carbohydrates.
