Inulin CAS:9005-80-5 Product Description:
H&Z® Inulin is a reserve polysaccharide in plants, mainly derived from plants. More than 36,000 species have been found, including 11 families such as Asteraceae, Platycodonaceae, and Gentianaceae in dicotyledons, and Liliaceae and Gramineae in monocotyledons Wood family. For example, tubers of Jerusalem artichoke, chicory, tubers of pelargonium (Dali daisy), and roots of thistle are rich in inulin, of which the content of inulin is the highest.
Inulin CAS:9005-80-5 Functions
1.Control blood lipids
Ingestion of inulin can effectively reduce serum total cholesterol (TC) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), increase the high-density lipoprotein / low-density lipoprotein ratio, and improve blood lipids. Hidaka et al. Reported that elderly patients aged 50-90 years who consumed 8g of short-chain dietary fiber daily reduced their levels of triglyceride and total cholesterol in the blood two weeks later. Yamashita et al. Fed 18 g of diabetic patients with 8 g of inulin for two weeks, reduced total cholesterol by 7.9%, but did not change HDL-cholesterol. In the control group, the above parameters did not change. Brighenti et al. Observed that 12 healthy young men who added 9g of inulin to their daily cereal breakfast for 4 weeks reduced total cholesterol by 8.2% and triglycerides by 26.5%. Many dietary fibers reduce fat levels by absorbing intestinal fats, forming fat-fiber complexes that float out of the stool. Moreover, inulin is fermented into short-chain fatty acids and lactate before the end of the intestine, which is a regulator of liver metabolism. Short-chain fatty acids (acetate and propionate) can be used as fuel in the blood, and propionate inhibits cholesterol synthesis.
2.Lower blood sugar
Inulin is a carbohydrate that does not cause elevated glucose in the urine. It is not hydrolyzed into monosaccharides in the upper part of the intestine, and therefore does not raise blood sugar levels and insulin levels. Studies now show that the decrease in fasting blood glucose is the result of short-chain fatty acids produced by oligofructose fermentation in the colon.
3.Promote the absorption of minerals
H&Z® Inulin can greatly increase the absorption of minerals such as Ca2 +, Mg2 +, Zn2 +, Cu2 +, Fe2 + ". It is reported that teenagers consume 8 g / d (long and short chain inulin-type fructan) for 8 weeks and 1 year, respectively. It was found that both significantly increased Ca absorption, and the body's bone mineral content and density also increased significantly. The main mechanism by which inulin promotes the absorption of mineral elements is: 1) the short-chain fat produced by inulin fermentation in the colon causes the The crypts become shallower, the crypt cells increase, which increases the absorption area, and the cecum veins become more developed. 2) The acid produced by fermentation reduces the pH of the colon, which improves the solubility and bioavailability of many minerals, especially short-chain fatty acids Can stimulate the growth of colonic mucosal cells and improve the absorption capacity of the intestinal mucosa; 3) Inulin can promote the secretion of phytase by some microorganisms, which can release the metal ions chelated with phytic acid and promote its absorption. 4) Certain organic acids produced by fermentation can chelate with metal ions and promote metal ion absorption.
