Core Process Flowsheet Principles

STAGE 01

Gentle Counter-Current Diffusion

Multi-stage heated water leaching preserves high polymerization degree (DP 10–35).

STAGE 02

Decolorization & Ultrafiltration

Removal of pigments, proteins, and polyphenols without aggressive chemical bleaching.

STAGE 03

Chromatographic Ion Exchange

Fractionation of long-chain inulin from mono- and disaccharides for high purity grades.

STAGE 04

Controlled Crystallization & Spray Drying

Low-temperature evaporation ensuring non-caking, free-flowing crystalline powder.
