Inulin (INL) is produced by several different plants. Inulins are polysaccharides and are of interest for the development of healthy products because they simultaneously respond to a variety of consumer demands. It is fibre-enriched, prebiotic, low in fat and low in sugar. This book discusses the food sources, the biochemistry and health implications of inulin. (Imprint: Nova)
