Inulin is an excellent option for drug administration because of its unique and flexible structure, stabilizing and protective qualities, and ability to be specific to certain organs compared to other biodegradable polysaccharides. The three hydroxyl groups attached to every fructose molecule serve as anchors for any modifications made to the sugar. Bioavailability and cellular absorption are therefore improved, and medications and biomolecules can be delivered in a planned, continuous, and regulated way. This chapter’s primary focus is on inulin medicine delivery methods, which include hydrogel, microparticles, micelles, conjugates, liposomes, prodrugs, complexes, and solid dispersion. The production process and applications of the several inulin drug delivery techniques are covered in further detail. This work highlights the viability of using modified inulin as adaptable scaffolding for various drug delivery systems. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
