Wholesale Natural Sweetener Food Grade Chicory Root Extract Inulin Powder 90% Inulin Extract 

Inulin is a natural, plant-derived polysaccharide—a type of soluble dietary fiber—found in over 30,000 plants, including chicory, Jerusalem artichoke, dandelion, and dahlia . It is a white to off-white, odorless, crystalline powder with a neutral, slightly sweet taste . Because of its unique chemical structure, inulin is not digested by human enzymes but is selectively fermented by beneficial gut bacteria, classifying it as a prebiotic.

Commercially, inulin is most commonly produced from chicory root . The production process involves hot water extraction from the plant material, followed by purification steps like centrifugation, deionization, and decolorization, and finally evaporation and spray drying to produce a concentrated powder. Jerusalem artichoke tubers are another significant source for inulin production.
