Efficacy and function of inulin
Inulin is a common soluble fiber that belongs to a class of carbohydrates called fructans,
which are made up of fructose molecules that specifically join together to prevent digestion in the small intestine.
Health benefits
1. Improve blood sugar control
Inulin can help improve blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes or pre-diabetes.
This is because inulin can help improve our sensitivity to the insulin hormone by reducing the amount of fat stored in the liver.
Insulin is a key hormone in controlling blood sugar levels because it helps remove glucose from the blood so
that it does not enter the liver or muscles where energy can be stored.
2. Weight control
Studies have shown that inulin can help regulate appetite and reduce hunger,
which can help achieve weight loss goals. Inulin works by altering specific hormones that control appetite levels,
and experimental results have shown that adding inulin powder to the diet can lead to a loss of 1-6 kg in 12-18 weeks.
In addition, inulin can not only help with weight loss, but also reduce the storage of ectopic fat,
which is strongly linked to the development of type 2 diabetes.
3. Digestive health
The large intestine contains more than 400 types of bacteria,inulin plays an important role in controlling this balance,
helping to feed and increase the number of beneficial bacteria. Therefore, inulin's role in digestive health is very important.
Application field
1. Food industry
In recent years, the development and utilization of inulin has been highly valued by the international food industry,
and has been widely used in dairy products, beverages, flour products, meat products and other foods.
For example, inulin is an excellent fat substitute that gives skim milk a smooth taste; In flour products,
inulin can improve the processing property, product quality and nutritional value of dough. In meat products,
inulin can be used to replace oil or starch substances to reduce product energy,
increase dietary fiber content and improve the nutritional function of the product.
2. Health care
Inulin, as a natural prebiotic, can promote the growth of probiotics in the gut, thereby improving the balance of intestinal flora.
This has a positive effect on treating constipation, improving intestinal function and enhancing immunity.
At the same time, because inulin is not broken down or absorbed by the digestive system,
it provides very low calories and is suitable for people who control their weight and blood sugar.
