Yes, you can use regular inulin instead of oligofructose in many applications, as both are types of dietary fiber with similar prebiotic properties. However, there are some differences to consider:
-Chain Length: Inulin has a longer fructose chain compared to oligofructose, which can affect its solubility and how it is digested and fermented in the gut.
-Solubility: Oligofructose tends to be more soluble in water than inulin, which may make it more suitable for certain food applications, such as beverages or products where a fiber that dissolves easily is needed.
-Effect on Texture: Due to its different structure, inulin can contribute to a creamier texture in foods, while oligofructose may be better for applications where a fiber that does not significantly alter the texture is desired.
In summary, although you can use inulin instead of oligofructose, it is important to consider how these changes might affect the solubility, texture, and digestion in your preparations or food products.
