Use

Inulin has many potential uses in pharmaceutical applications, as a filler–binder in tablet formulations; to stabilize therapeutic proteins; or to enhance the dissolution of lipophilic drugs. Methacrylated inulin hydrogels have been investigated for the development of colon-specific drug delivery systems. Inulin is used as a diagnostic agent to measure the glomerular filtration rate. It is used in the food industry as a sweetener and stabilizer; and also as a prebiotic, where it has been shown to provide protection against inflammatory and malignant colonic diseases in animals. It is also used as a noncaloric dietary fiber supplement.
