HA10552 Organic Chicory Inulin Powder

Organic Chicory Inulin Powder Description

Organic Chicory Inulin Powder is a naturally derived extract obtained from chicory roots, primarily composed of inulin, a type of fructan. Its extraction process minimises the presence of impurities and moisture, which is essential for maintaining its prebiotic properties in complex formulations. The powder's fine particle size facilitates uniform dispersion in liquid and solid matrices, contributing to consistent performance in food technology and nutritional supplement manufacturing.
