Inulin is a natural storage carbohydrate present in more than 36,000 species of plants, including [[agave]], [[wheat]], [[onion]], [[bananas]], [[garlic]], [[asparagus]], [[Jerusalem artichoke]], and chicory. For these plants, inulin is used as an energy reserve and for regulating cold resistance. Because it is soluble in water, it is osmotically active. Certain plants can change the [[osmotic potential]] of their cells by changing the degree of [[polymerization]] of inulin molecules by [[hydrolysis]]. By changing osmotic potential without changing the total amount of carbohydrate, plants can withstand cold and drought during winter periods.</div>FuzzyBot
