Inulin is a naturally occurring polysaccharide primarily found in the roots of various plants like chicory root, Jerusalem artichoke, and agave. This soluble fiber is often used as a prebiotic, promoting gut health by nourishing beneficial bacteria in the digestive system. Inulin is also valued as a sugar substitute and fat replacer in food products. It has a subtly sweet flavor, around 10% of sugar's sweetness and creates a creamy texture, often described as smooth and slightly milky, which contributes to its use in improving mouthfeel and texture in baked goods and other foods. Food manufacturers utilize inulin to boost fiber content, reduce sugar and calorie levels, and enhance the overall texture of processed foods.
