Advances on the inulin production

Abstract

The rapid advance of science and social needs at the present time along with rising growth of the population, the emergence of new diseases has stimulated the need to find new products that meet the above conditions, so it becomes essential to find energy sources conducive to social environment, which are renewable without affecting the environment, given this, it is important to mention that the inulin be converted  to become an element due to its various applications, it’s a polysaccharide fructan type present in numerous plant species that has been extensively studied at the laboratory scale, considerate prebiotic agent based on a thorough analysis of its natural sources and usable properties such as its processing in products generated, hence making it industrially viable. The aim of this paper is to review scientific literature, identifying inulin as an important element in the global productive field, the possibilities of production and the potential applications that have not been considered at present.
