Product Details
1. Introduction
Jerusalem Artichoke Extract 90% Inulin Powder is extracted from Jerusalem artichoke, Helianthus tuberosus L. In China, Jerusalem artichoke is wildly planted and its tuber is the main raw material for commercialized inulin production. We use water to extract the inulin, no additives and carriers used during the whole production, water is the only solvent. Inulin is a kind of natural prebiotic and soluble dietary fiber. It helps maintain healthy intestine functions. It is widely used in food and beverage industries.
2. The physical and chemical properties of inulin
Inulin is contained in the protoplasm of the cell in the form of a colloid. It is precipitated from the water after adding edible ethanol. Both humans and animals lack the enzymes that decompose inulin. Inulin is the highest quality, natural and soluble fructan mixture ever discovered by mankind.
Inulin is another form of energy storage for plants in addition to starch. Plant nutrients are first produced by photosynthesis and then converted into another form to be stored in plants. Jerusalem artichoke stores inulin as a kind of energy in seeds. The spring of the second year is used to provide energy supply for an important part of the plant growth process. Inulin is like the essence of the Jerusalem artichoke plant. This essence is purified through physical separation and used in our daily food as food, food ingredients, and other more valuable products. The recommended consumption of inulin is 10-40 g/day, and it can be applied to all kinds of foods except infant food. However, China has not yet promulgated specific quality standards related to inulin.
1) Water soluble. The solubility of ordinary inulin at 10°C is about 6%, The solubility at 90℃ is about 33%. The short-chain inulin solubility at 90 degrees Celsius is as high as 50%.
2) Sweetness. The sweetness is about 30%~50% of sucrose, and the sweetness is pure, even more delicious than the sucrose we often eat freshen up.
3) Viscosity. Different concentrations of inulin solution have different viscosity. The viscosity of inulin solution increases with its content increasing
4) Stability.Inulin has strong thermal stability
5) Moisture retention. Inulin has strong hygroscopicity and the ability to bind free water, which can reduce water activity. Use its hygroscopicity in food Product processing can effectively delay the evaporation of water, prevent the product sour, prolong the shelf life of food.
6) Security. Inulin as a functional food ingredient has been widely used in western countries according to what has been done to inulin in animal and human studies, no significant side effects have been reported
4. Inulin Used in Food
The production and application of inulin in European countries began in the 1980s, and it has been used in food, health products, medicine, feed, etc., in various fields. Its functions can be summarized as: it can be processed into low-fat, low-sugar and high-fiber foods, functional foods with improved intestinal function, health products with disease prevention, medicines and food supplements.
1) As an ingredient in processed low-fat foods.
Because inulin has gel properties, it will form a creamy structure after being completely mixed with water, which tastes like fat, which makes it easy to replace fat in food. With this advantage, people apply inulin as an excellent fat substitute, using water-soluble inulin to replace fat in food, and replace fat in food with dietary fiber, which does not affect food taste and can stably improve emulsification The dispersion. It not only reduces the fat content in the food, but also allows the body to take in an appropriate amount of inulin to ensure the intake of dietary fiber and prebiotics.
2) High-fiber diet can be configured
Inulin itself is a kind of dietary fiber. Compared with other dietary fibers such as cereal products, inulin has good solubility in water, has no peculiar smell, and does not change the taste of food itself. Therefore, it is very convenient to use inulin as a dietary fiber ingredient. , They can ensure the daily dietary fiber intake of the human body during the daily drinking and eating process, and help the human body obtain a more balanced diet
3) Foods that improve intestinal health
Inulin is also an important prebiotic food in the human intestine. It can stimulate the proliferation of intestinal bifidobacteria and other beneficial bacteria. The proliferation number can reach 5-10 times, increase the vitality of bifidobacteria, inhibit the growth and reproduction of pathogenic bacteria, and maintain the intestines. The tract flora is balanced to ensure that the intestines can be active. Now inulin has been listed as an important bifidobacteria proliferation factor.
4) Functional drink
Adding 2% to 5% of inulin in yogurt, milk beverages, and liquid milk can not only ensure the stability of the product while ensuring the taste of the product, but also make the product have health care functions. Because inulin has dietary fiber and prebiotics The dual function of the intestinal disorders can improve the intestinal function of people with intestinal disorders.
5) For bakery products
Adding inulin to bakery products can increase the toughness of bread and increase the water retention rate due to its water retention properties. At the same time, due to the synergistic effect of inulin and sugar, it can achieve the effect of reducing blood sugar, which can be used to develop new concept breads. Such as prebiotic low-sugar bread, multi-dietary fiber low-sugar bread and so on.
