Inulin

Chicory (Chicorium intybus) is one of the earliest known and most widely used raw materials for the manufacture of coffee substitutes.The major component of chicory root is inulin, which is a polymer of fructose with -(2-1) glycosidic linkages.
Chicory inulin is expected to behave like a soluble fiber and to have a hypolipidemic effect.Both the fermentability and the bifidogenic effect of chicory fructooligosaccharides have been confirmed in in vivo human studies that were performed by feeding human volunteers a standard diet containing chicory inulin fructooligosaccharides.
