Technical & procurement detail
Functional role of inulin / chicory root fibre+
Inulin is a chain of fructose units that resists digestion in the small intestine and is fermented in the colon. Functionally it dissolves to build viscosity, forms a fat-mimicking gel at high concentration in water, and adds fibre without the coarse mouthfeel of insoluble fibres.
Standard or long-chain changes everything+
Standard inulin dissolves readily and carries a slight sweetness; long-chain grades are less soluble, less sweet and much better at building a fat-like gel. Choosing the wrong chain length is the most common reason an inulin trial fails, so the grade should be selected against the function, not the price.
Process conditions affect stability+
Fructans are sensitive to low pH combined with heat and time, which can reduce the fibre content that survives to the finished product. Share your pH, thermal process and shelf life so the supplier can advise whether inulin or a more process-stable fibre is the correct choice.
Documentation and specification+
Functional values differ between producers and grades. Allzone confirms the applicable grade with the supplier before quoting and shares the technical data sheet and safety data sheet for the exact material offered, so the values you evaluate are the values you receive.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between inulin and FOS?+
Both are fructans; FOS has shorter chains and is sweeter. Both are listed separately and can be quoted together for comparison.
Will it survive an acidic beverage process?+
Fructans can hydrolyse under acid and heat. Share your pH and thermal profile and the supplier will advise on grade suitability.
What packaging is available?+
Packaging is confirmed with the supplier at quotation for the grade and quantity discussed.
Can I request a technical data sheet?+
Yes — the supplier technical data sheet and safety data sheet are shared for the exact grade quoted.
Can you deliver to Ontario and Quebec food plants?+
Yes. LTL and FTL freight is arranged across Ontario, Quebec and Western Canada, with container-direct supply for repeat volumes.
