Inulin helps with dietary management by generating long-lasting feelings of satiety hours after the food has been consumed.
As a soluble dietary fiber, it works in concert with other forms of fiber to produce feelings of fullness so a person is satisfied by their meal, explains Brian Tungland, vice president, scientific and regulatory affairs, Imperial-Sensus, Sugar Land, Texas. The company produces Frutafit® inulin from chicory roots. The mildly sweet powder is heat stable, relatively pH stable and dissolves readily.
