Inulin is a polysaccharide consisting of a linear fructose unit containing β - 2 1 linkages, and a sucrose unit at the nonreducing. End. It is a reserved carbohydrate source in many commercial plant such as chicory garlic bananas and,,, onions. This polysaccharide. Is known to have a wide range of both nutritional and technological applications. Nutritionally inulin acts, as, a prebiotic. Where it is a dietary soluble fiber which promotes the growth of intestinal bacteria. Unlike most of the sugar such as fructose. Or sucrose it is, a nondigestible (noninsulemic), carbohydrate which makes it suitable for.Diabetic patients as it poses a minimal impact on blood sugar. It also has approximately 10% of the sweetness of, sucrose. In industrial applications inulin is, used as fat and sugar replacer low caloric, bulking agent texturizing and water-binding,,, Agent. Another important property of this saccharide is their ability to stabilize proteins during freeze-drying or freezing. Process. Inulin is also certified as GRAS by FDA. Inulin has been shown to be more effective than trehalose.In protecting bovine plasma protein and therapeutic proteins during freeze-drying process and subsequent storage.(Hinrichs et al. 2001).
