🌱 SaporePuro Long-Chain Inulin

SaporePuro Long-Chain Inulin is a pure powder made from the European chicory root grown in Belgium, which has always been the main commercial source of inulin thanks to its high fiber content.

This natural ingredient is appreciated not only for its nutritional benefits, but also for its technological functions: it improves the consistency, texture, and flavor of food preparations, making it ideal for both home use and professional production.

⚙️ Characteristics

Long-Chain Inulin is a polydisperse mixture of linear fructose polymers, with a terminal glucose unit, linked by β(2-1) bonds. The degree of polymerization ranges from 2 to 60, providing advanced properties and a creamy, velvety mouthfeel.

🍨 Uses and applications

Inulin is a highly versatile ingredient used in various food sectors:

• In ice cream making, it increases the solids content without lactose, providing greater creaminess to ice creams and sorbets.

• In pastry making, it retains moisture in cookies and cakes, improves dough consistency, and, when dissolved in water and heated, can be transformed into a natural syrup.

• In baked goods, it increases volume, improves texture, and extends freshness.

• In low-calorie beverages and foods, it replaces some of the sugars, helping to reduce the glycemic load.

• In functional and health-focused recipes, it adds prebiotic fiber, improving the nutritional profile without altering the taste.

✨ Nutritional benefits

SaporePuro Long-Chain Inulin is a prebiotic fiber that helps support the intestinal microbiota and improves the feeling of satiety.

It occurs naturally in numerous vegetables such as onions, garlic, leeks, and bananas, but chicory remains the main source for industrial use. Inulin derived from this plant is also often referred to as chicory root fiber or chicory root extract.
