Structure of Inulin (CAS NO.9005-80-5):
                      

 Inulin (CAS NO.9005-80-5) is increasingly used in processed foods because it has unusually adaptable characteristics, and can be used to replace sugar, fat, and flour. It is used to help measure kidney function by determining the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). And nonhydrolyzed inulin can also be directly converted to ETHANOL in a simultaneous saccharification and fermentation process.

Inulin is reported in EPA TSCA Inventory.

 Inulin , its cas register number is 9005-80-5. It is uniquely treated by nephrons in that it is completely filtered at the glomerulus but neither secreted nor reabsorbed by the tubules, and is useful to contrast the properties of inulin with those of para-aminohippuric acid (PAH). Inulin (CAS NO.9005-80-5) is indigestible by the human enzymes ptyalin and amylase, and is only in the colon that bacteria metabolise inulin, with the release of significant quantities of carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and/or methane. It is typically found in roots or rhizomes.
