Use Cases

Applications

Inulinase catalyzes the hydrolysis of inulin into fructose and fructo-oligosaccharides, enabling prebiotic FOS production, fructose syrup manufacture, soluble dietary fiber ingredients, and fermentable sugars for next-generation bioethanol.

1
🌱

Prebiotic FOS Production

Produces fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) from inulin for gut-health supplements and functional foods.

2
🍯

High-Fructose Syrup (from Inulin)

Converts chicory or Jerusalem artichoke inulin directly to fructose-rich syrup as an alternative to corn-based HFCS.

3
💊

Dietary Fiber Supplements

Controlled hydrolysis of inulin to targeted DP fractions for consistent, label-friendly prebiotic fiber effects.

4
🧃

Functional Beverages

Creates soluble fiber ingredients for fiber-enriched juices, smoothies, and wellness drinks with improved sweetness and mouthfeel.

5
🍫

Sugar Replacement

Supports fructose production from inulin for natural, low-GI sweetener applications in diabetic-friendly and keto formulations.

6

Bioethanol from Inulin Crops

Converts Jerusalem artichoke and chicory inulin into fermentable fructose for second-generation bioethanol production.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1 What does EC 3.2.1.7 mean for Inulinase?

EC 3.2.1.7 identifies Inulinase as an enzyme class that hydrolyzes inulin into fructose and fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS).

Q2 How do I choose the right Inulinase activity level (5,000–50,000 INU/g)?

Higher INU/g typically enables faster conversion at the same dosage. Final dosing depends on your target (FOS vs fructose syrup vs DP fractions), substrate concentration, and residence time—pilot trials are recommended.

Q3 What are the recommended pH and temperature ranges for Inulinase?

Use Inulinase within pH 4.0–5.5 and 50°C–60°C for best performance and stable conversion.

Q4 Can Inulinase be used to produce both FOS and fructose syrup?

Yes. By adjusting reaction conditions and hydrolysis extent, you can steer the product profile toward FOS-enriched fractions or fructose-rich syrup suitable for sweetener applications.

Q5 How should I store Inulinase to achieve the 12-month shelf life?

Keep the product sealed and store it in a cool environment. Avoid moisture exposure and follow the COA/TDS guidance provided with your shipment.
