Inulin

Nutri Partners is a premier European supplier of Inulin Powder wholesale. Sourced primarily from Chicory Root (Cichorium intybus), this soluble dietary fiber is a versatile functional ingredient. It serves a dual purpose in modern food formulation: acting as a proven prebiotic to support gut health and as a texturizer that allows for sugar and fat reduction without compromising mouthfeel. It is the perfect clean-label solution for health-conscious brands.

Key Features

• Origin: Native Inulin derived from non-GMO Chicory Root (standard industry source) or Agave.
• Sweetness Profile: Provides approximately 10-30% of the sweetness of sucrose, acting as a natural bulking agent.
• Functionality: Excellent fat mimetic properties (creates a creamy, gel-like texture) and sugar replacer.
• Health Benefits: High in dietary fiber (>90%), low caloric value, and clinically proven prebiotic effects (stimulates Bifidobacteria).
• Dietary Status: 100% Vegan, Gluten-Free, and suitable for Keto/Low-Carb diets.

Applications

Inulin is a cornerstone ingredient for reformulation and fiber enrichment:

• Bakery & Bars: Increases fiber content in breads and cereals. In protein bars, it acts as a binder and humectant, keeping the product soft over time.
• Dairy: Used as a fat replacer in low-fat yogurts, ice creams, and cheeses to provide a rich, creamy mouthfeel.
• Beverages: Soluble fiber enrichment for smoothies, juices, and instant drinks.
• Confectionery: Allows for “Reduced Sugar” claims in chocolates and gummies while maintaining bulk.
• Supplements: Sold as a standalone prebiotic powder or in symbiotic blends (probiotics + prebiotics).

Technical Description: Inulin Powder Wholesale

Chemically, Inulin is a polydisperse mixture of fructose chains (fructans). When sourcing Inulin Powder wholesale, it is important to distinguish between Native Inulin and Long-Chain Inulin (High Performance).

• Native Inulin: Contains shorter chains and simple sugars. It is more soluble and slightly sweeter, ideal for sugar replacement.
• Long-Chain Inulin: Has had the sugars and short chains removed. It has lower solubility but superior gelling properties and heat stability, making it ideal as a fat replacer.

Our product creates a particle gel network when sheared in water, mimicking the texture of fat. It is stable at low pH (down to 4.0), though prolonged exposure to high heat and acid can cause hydrolysis (breakdown into fructose).
