Role in food

Manufacturers use inulin syrup as a low-calorie sweetener and a source of dietary fiber. …

What it is

Inulin syrup is a liquid sweetener made from chicory root. It is produced by hydrolyzing inulin, a type of soluble fiber, into shorter chains of sugars. This process makes it sweeter and more liquid than inulin itself.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use inulin syrup as a low-calorie sweetener and a source of dietary fiber. It can also act as a prebiotic, feeding beneficial bacteria in the gut. It is commonly found in snack bars, cereals, baked goods, and dairy products.

Health notes

Inulin syrup is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of soluble fiber, which may aid digestion and promote gut health. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated inulin and its derivatives. Some people may experience gas or bloating if they consume large amounts of inulin syrup.

Allergen info

Inulin syrup is not derived from any of the nine major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
