- Abstract
Inulin is a polymer of fructose units that are soluble in water and cannot be digested by enzymes but can be fermented by microflora in the colon. Inulin is commonly used as a food additive for synbiotic benefits. Inulin is generally produced from tubers or plant roots. Beneng taro is an indigenous tuber in Banten Province that contains 84.88% carbohydrates and 75.62% starch, so this taro has potential as an inulin source. Inulin can act as a bulking agent to improve the body, mouthfeel, texture, and taste of yogurt. Inulin has a functional quality that would make that yogurt can provide extra health benefits.
