Technological functionality of inulin and oligofructose

Abstract: Inulin and oligofructose are functional food ingredients which offer a unique combination of nutritional properties and important technological benefits. They are found in many vegetables and fruits and can be industrially obtained from chicory roots. In food formulations, inulin and oligofructose may significantly improve organoleptic characteristics. Their incorporation allows upgrading of both taste and mouthfeel in a wide range of food applications. Oligofructose is highly soluble and possesses technologic… Show more

“…Inulin has been used a successful fat substitute and as a dietary fibre in breakfast cereals, yoghurts, cheeses, and even chocolate (Farzanmehr & Abbasi, 2009;Franck, 2002;Karimi, Azizi, Ghasemlou, & Vaziri, 2015). The polysaccharide has also been applied as a fat substitute in sausages, whereby it reduced fat content while providing prebiotic benefits with few impacts on texture (Keenan, Resconi, Kerry, & Hamill, 2014;Selgas et al, 2005).…”

“…Inulin in baked goods can also improve moisture retention and thus enable cakes and breads to remain fresh for longer periods (Franck, 2002). Typically, inulin to be used in baked goods is dissolved into a solution and stirred thoroughly for several hours until it obtains a creamy texture (Stevens et al, 2001).…”

“…Actually, Mexican regulation clearly differentiates Agave inulin from Agave FOS in terms of size. Actually, FOS with a degree of polymerization between three and 10 are also alternative sweeteners for diabetic patients (Franck et al, 2002).

“…In these products, inulin reduces their energy value and allows an increased intake of soluble fiber for consumers. T he average addition of inulin to foodstuffs is within the range of 5 to 10 % (Konečný, 1997;Franck, 2002). T he measured values of farinographic characteristics are shown in T ab 1.…”
