Inulin and oligofructose can be used to increase the dietary fiber content of a wide variety of food products. Dietary fibers are essential in our daily food but our diets rarely contain enough of them. The average adult should consume about 25-30 grams a day. Few of us actually eat more than 15-20.

Inulin can be added to foods to increase the dietary fiber content. Scientific studies have shown that inulin also stimulate the growth of beneficial bacteria in the large intestine, leading to healthier colonic microbiota.

This so-called prebiotic effect improves the working of the intestine and ultimately the consumer's well-being Applications Inulin is widely used in various types of foods like confectionery, fruit preparations, milk desserts, yogurt and fresh cheese, baked goods, chocolate, ice cream and sauces. Inulin can also be used for the preparation of fructose syrups.
