    In recent years, inulin has been widely used in dairy products, beverages, flour products, meat products and other foods


    Dairy Inulin is an excellent fat substitute, and when fully mixed with water, forms a creamy structure that imparts a smooth mouthfeel to skim milk


    Flour products The appearance of inulin is similar to that of wheat flour, which is white powder with good hydrophilicity, and can form a delicate and smooth texture after absorbing water


    Meat products In meat products, inulin is often used to replace oils or starches to reduce product energy, increase dietary fiber content and improve product nutritional function


    Beverage Inulin is easily soluble in water, and is relatively stable to heat when the pH value of the solution is greater than 4, so it can be widely used in various beverages


    It should be noted that the degree of polymerization will affect the solubility, water holding capacity, swelling, adsorption, crystallinity, gelation, texture properties and food processing stability of inulin.
