Summary

Constipation is common in the general population, especially in women and in the elderly, which can significantly affect quality of life of the individual. There is a general consumer trend to seek natural food options, also when addressing health issues such as constipation. Consumers seek tasty options and there is a paucity of tasty functional foods to address constipation. Adding natural fiber to food, like inulin-type fructans from chicory root fiber, can increase fiber intake and potentially prevent or resolve constipation issues. This study aimed to increase the body of scientific data on inulin-type fructans by way of a randomized, placebo-controlled, cross-over study. Maltodextrin was used as the placebo in this study.
