Is inulin stable in acidic food applications?

0

Inulin is susceptible to hydrolysis in acidic conditions around pH 3.5 and lower. The degree of hydrolysis will depend on the temperature and duration of exposure to the acidic environment. When hydrolysis occurs, the long chain oligosaccharide is broken down into shorter chains and simple sugars such as fructose.
