Inulin is another form of energy storage in addition to starch plants. It is a good raw material for producing fructooligosaccharide, fructooligosaccharide, high fructose syrup, crystalline fructose and other products. It has the effects of controlling blood lipids, reducing blood sugar, promoting mineral absorption, preventing constipation, inhibiting the growth of saprophytic bacteria, and losing weight.1, control blood lipid: Appropriate intake of inulin, can effectively reduce serum total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol, improve the ratio of high density lipoprotein to low density lipoprotein, improve blood lipid status.2, lower blood sugar: Inulin is a carbohydrate that does not lead to increased glucose in the urine, and it will not be hydrolyzed into simple sugars in the upper part of the intestine, so it will not increase blood sugar levels and insulin levels.3, to prevent constipation: Inulin is a natural water-soluble dietary fiber, almost not hydrolyzed and digested by stomach acid, only in the colon is used by beneficial microorganisms, thereby improving the intestinal environment.4, promote mineral absorption: Inulin can improve the body's absorption of calcium, magnesium, zinc, copper, iron ions and other minerals.5, inhibit the growth of saprophytic bacteria: Inulin can inhibit the growth of saprophytic bacteria, reduce the generation of toxic products, reduce its stimulation of the intestinal wall.6, weight loss: Inulin can improve the viscosity of the contents, reduce the speed of food from the stomach into the small intestine, thereby reducing hunger, can reduce the intake of food, and then achieve weight loss.菊粉是除淀粉植物的另一种能量储存的形式，是生产低聚果糖、多聚果糖、高果糖浆、结晶果糖等产品的良好原料，具有控制血脂、降低血糖、促进矿物质的吸收、防止便秘、抑制腐生菌生长、减肥等功效。1、控制血脂：适量摄入菊粉，可有效降低血清总胆固醇和低密度脂蛋白胆固醇，提高高密度脂蛋白与低密度脂蛋白比率，改善血脂状况。2、降低血糖：菊粉是一种不会导致尿中葡萄糖升高的碳水化合物，它在肠道的上部不会被水解成单糖，因而不会升高血糖水平和胰岛素含量。3、防止便秘：菊粉是一种天然的水溶性膳食纤维，几乎不被胃酸水解和消化，只有在结肠被有益微生物利用，从而改善肠道环境。4、促进矿物质的吸收：菊粉能提高人体对于钙、镁、锌、铜、铁离子等矿物质的吸收。5、抑制腐生菌生长：菊粉能够抑制腐生菌的生长，减少有毒产物的生成，减少其对肠壁的刺激。6、减肥：菊粉可以提高内容物的粘度，降低食物从胃进入小肠的速度，从而降低饥饿感，能减少食物的摄入量，进而达到减肥的效果。
