Fructans are a non-digestible carbohydrate that is present in many vegetables, fruits, and cereals.

Inulin and its derivatives

(oligofructose, fructooligosaccharides) are generally called fructans,

which are basically constituted by linear chains of fructose.

The presence of certain amounts of fructans or its derivatives in the formulation of a food product is a sufficient condition to be conserved as a “functional food.”

Agave fructans are a prebiotic fiber,

which helps to improve overall digestive health.
