Inulin-type Fructans

Inulin-Type Fructans is a class of non-digestible oligosaccharides and polysaccharides characterized by a linear chain of fructose units linked by β-(2→1) glycosidic bonds, typically terminating with a glucose unit, distinguished from other prebiotic carbohydrates by their specific structural configuration and selective fermentation by beneficial colonic bacteria.
