Inulin

fructan (β(2,1)-linked fructose polymer) from chicory root · Modernist additive

Inulin is a soluble dietary fibre extracted from chicory root — a chain of fructose sugars the body cannot digest. Mildly sweet at best and flavourless at high purity, it dissolves into a smooth, fat-like creaminess that lets cooks cut fat and sugar while adding gut-friendly fibre. It is the workhorse "prebiotic fibre" behind many reduced-fat and high-fibre foods.

Good to know
Inulin is a fructan — a chain of fructose units linked by β(2,1) bonds with a terminal glucose — that human enzymes cannot digest, so it acts as a soluble dietary fibre.
