Soluble roasted chicory with high inulin content

摘要: The invention concerns soluble roasted natural chicory in powder form, characterised by a high inulin and fructo-oligosaccharide (FOS) content more than 40 wt. % relative to dry matter. Preferably its colour index, measured absorbance at 500 nm of solution 1 %, ranges between 0.4 0.7, moreover combined fructose glucose is 5 preferably ranging 7 9 production method comprises the following steps: a) dehydrating fresh roots obtain shreds; b) roasting shreds temperature order 130 °C with reduced humidity rate roaster; c) cooling crushing d) extracting passing hot water on crushed e) pulverizing extract.
