Technological functionality of inulin and oligofructose
Abstract
Inulin and oligofructose are functional food ingredients which offer a unique combination of nutritional properties and important technological benefits. They are found in many vegetables and fruits and can be industrially obtained from chicory roots. In food formulations, inulin and oligofructose may significantly improve organoleptic characteristics. Their incorporation allows upgrading of both taste and mouthfeel in a wide range of food applications. Oligofructose is highly soluble and possesses technological properties that are closely related to those of sugar and glucose syrups. It is often used in combination with high intensity sweeteners. Inulin has a much lower solubility, improves the stability of foams and emulsions and shows exceptional fat-like characteristics when used under the form of a gel in water. Fat and carbohydrate replacement with chicory inulin and oligofructose offers the advantage of not compromising on taste and texture, while delivering nutritionally enhanced products.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
