Chicory Pulp
Natural source of functional fibres
Chicory pulp is a plant-based co-product obtained after the extraction of inulin from chicory roots. Naturally rich in pectin, hemicellulose and cellulose, and containing residual inulin, it provides a versatile combination of functional fibres for animal nutrition.
Gently dried at low temperature, not exceeding 70°C, chicory pulp preserves the nutritional properties of its fibres while ensuring consistent quality. This gentle drying process also prevents burnt particles and provides a uniform appearance.

With approximately 27% pectin, together with hemicellulose, cellulose and around 7% inulin, chicory pulp provides a balanced combination of plant-based fibres.
Moisture management
Its high water-holding capacity, absorbing 8 to 10 g of water per gram of pulp, contributes to moisture management and ration structure.
