In order to reduce caffeine intake, instant chicory powder can be used as a dressing alternative or as a coffee substitute. It contains a lot of dietary fiber and has a lot of health benefits.

The product is made by extracting the inulin content of kiln-dried chicory with water, then heating the extract in a tube extractor to hydrolyze a portion of the extract inulin content, resulting in a caramelized powder.

Additional Information

Roasting, extraction, and drying processes are used to create a water-soluble caramelized chicory extract powder.

Chicory includes inulin, a reserve carbohydrate composed primarily of the monosaccharides fructose and glucose.

The inulin is extracted from the chicory and then cleaved at high temperatures to generate oligo- and disaccharides, which are then broken down to fructose and glucose. This boosts the reducing capacity of monosaccharides, which is the highest.t.
