Inulin: Structural Features, Physicochemical Properties, Application Development, and Research Progress in Experimental Settings

Inulin is a naturally occurring reserve fructan and is classified as a soluble dietary fiber and a prototypical prebiotic substrate. It consists predominantly of a linear backbone of D-fructosyl residues linked by β(2→1) glycosidic bonds, typically terminated by a single glucosyl residue; its ...
