Polvo puro de inulina al 90%

¿Qué es polvo puro de inulina?

La inulina es una fibra dietsoluble y un polisacárido que se encuentra naturalmente en las plantas. Se encuentra en grandes cantidades en las raíces de achicoria e inulina, que son miembros de la familia Asteraceae. La inulina es un polvo blanco que se obtiene a partir de la masa radicular de estas plantas por secado por pulveridespués de eliminar las proteínas y minerales. Al igual que otras fibras dietéticas, la inulina ejerce beneficios potenciales para la salud al regular la flora intestinal y sus metaboli, como mejorar la laxitud, la función de barrera intestinal y la homeostasis de la glucosa.

La tecnología de primavera verde suministra polvo puro de inulina, que se obtiene de la raíz de la achicoria a través de secado por pulverización y otros procesos. Tiene dulzura pura sin sabor amargo ni regusto, buena solubilidad en agua y fuerte absorción de humedad. Los productos suministrados por Green Spring Technology cumplen con la farmacopea europea, la farmacopea americana y la farmacopea japonesa.

Benefits:

Control of Blood Lipids

Inulin powder intake can effectively lower serum total cholesterol (TC) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), increase HDL/LDL ratio and improve lipid profile.Hidaka et al. reported that in elderly patients aged 50-90 years old, who ingested 8g of short-chained dietary fibre per day for a fortnight, the levels of triglycerides and total cholesterol in the blood decreased. Yamashita et al. gave 8g of inulin to 18 diabetic patients for a fortnight and the total cholesterol was reduced by 7.9%, but HDL-cholesterol remained unchanged. In contrast, the above parameters did not change in a control group consuming food grains.Brighenti et al. observed an 8.2 per cent reduction in total cholesterol and a significant 26.5 per cent reduction in triglycerides in 12 healthy young men who consumed 9 g of inulin in their daily cereal breakfast for four weeks.

Many dietary fibers lower blood lipid levels by absorbing fat from the intestine and forming a fat-fiber complex that is excreted in the feces. Moreover, inulin ferments itself into short-chain fatty acids and lactates before it reaches the end of the intestinal tract, and lactates are regulators of liver metabolism. Short-chain fatty acids (acetate and propionate) are used as fuel in the blood, and propionate inhibits cholesterol synthesis.

Lowering Blood Sugar

For diabetic patients, rational arrangement of diet is the main method of treatment. Inulin has a slightly sweet flavor and is a fructose polymer, which is not decomposed or absorbed during the process of passing through the human oral cavity, stomach, and small intestine. Therefore, inulin will not affect the blood glucose level after being ingested through the oral cavity, and it can be used as food for diabetic patients.

Research on the mechanism of inulin in lowering blood sugar levels has attracted more and more scientists' attention. Some scholars believe that the high viscosity of inulin leads to an increase in the thickness of the intestinal mucosa, which reduces the absorption of glucose; some scholars believe that, on the one hand, the short-chain fatty acids produced by the fermentation of inulin promotes the synthesis of hepatic glucose, while oligofructose promotes the body's absorption of Mg2+, which reduces the risk of developing diabetes mellitus.

Improve Gut Function

Improvement of intestinal function Inulin is prebiotic, which is a non-digestible food ingredient that selectively stimulates and promotes the growth and vitality of one or several microorganisms in the colon that are beneficial to the health of the host, promoting host health. Inulin can ferment in the human colon and proliferate bifidobacteria by 5-10 times, while at the same time inhibiting the growth of potentially harmful bacteria, which can significantly improve constipation and diarrhea caused by the abuse of antibiotics.

Fermentation of inulin in the colon improves the microflora and gas volume, thus promoting intestinal peristalsis, shortening the residence time of feces in the colon, making movement faster, reducing water absorption time, increasing the weight of feces, and effectively preventing constipation. At the same time also increases the excretion of feces, so that the carcinogenic substances in the intestinal tract are also diluted, therefore, the carcinogenic substances on the intestinal bi-cells to reduce the stimulation, are conducive to the prevention of colon cancer.

Promotes Mineral Absorption

Dietary fibre in the daily diet can reduce the intestinal absorption of certain minerals. However, ingestion of inulin as a soluble dietary fibre does not inhibit the absorption of minerals but instead promotes the absorption of minerals such as Ca2+, Mg2+, Zn2+, Cu2+ and Fe2+. Any inulin mineral complexes are degraded during fermentation by intestinal flora, releasing the minerals and making them more favourable for intestinal absorption. In addition, the acid produced by fermentation lowers the colonic pH by 1-2 units, making many minerals more soluble and bioavailable. Moreover, short-chain fatty acids, especially butyric acid, stimulate the growth of colonic mucosal cells and improve the absorption capacity of the intestinal mucosa.

Applications:

Inulin Powder Application In the Food Field:

1. Processing Low-Fat Foods

Inulin is an excellent fat substitute, when mixed completely with water it forms a creamy structure, which makes it easy to replace fat in food products and provides a smooth texture, good balance, and complete flavor. It can replace fat with fiber, increase the compactness and texture of the product steadily improve the dispersibility of the emulsion, and replace 30-60% of fat in the processing of creams and spreads.

2. For High Fiber Diet

Inulin has good solubility in water, which allows it to combine with water-based systems. It is rich in water-soluble dietary fiber, unlike other fibers that cause sedimentation problems. Using pure  inulin powder as a fiber ingredient is very convenient and can improve sensory properties. They can help the body achieve a more balanced diet, making it a high fiber food ingredient.

3. Probiotics Food Ingredients

Inulin can be used by beneficial bacteria in the human intestinal tract, especially in bifidobacteria proliferation 5~10 times. At the same time, harmful bacteria will be significantly reduced, improve the distribution of human body flora, and promote health, inulin has been listed as an important bifidobacteria proliferation factor.

4. For Milk Beverages, Sour Milk, Liquid Milk

Add inulin 2~5% in dairy drinks, sour milk, and liquid milk, so that the product has the function of dietary fiber and oligosaccharides in addition to increasing the consistency, giving the product a thicker creamy texture, better balance of the structure and fuller flavor.

5. For Bakery Products

The inclusion of inulin in bakery products is used to develop new concepts of bread, such as probiotic bread, multi-fiber white bread, and even multi-fiber gluten-free bread. Inulin can increase the stability of the dough, adjust the absorption of water, increase the volume of bread, improve the uniformity of the bread flesh, and the ability to form slices.

6.For Fruit Juice Drinks and Functional Water Drinks

Add pure inulin power 0.8~3% in fruit juice drinks, functional water drinks, sports drinks, fruit dew, and jelly, which can make the drink flavor more intense, and better texture.

7. For Milk Powder, Cheese, Frozen Desserts

Adding 8~10% of inulin to milk powder, fresh milk dried food slices, cheese, and frozen desserts can make the products more functional, and have more intense flavor and better texture.

8. For Health Food

At present, inulin has been approved by more than 40 countries in the world as a nutritional supplement for food. Pure inulin powder is used as the raw material and carrier of various health foods to prevent and control constipation, diabetes, obesity, and so on. For regulating intestinal flora, regulating blood lipids, promoting calcium or mineral absorption and other health foods or functional foods (diet foods), inulin is one of the best ingredients or functional components.
