This study investigated the changes in the structural and rheological properties of inulin induced by oxidation under different reaction conditions. Inulin was oxidized using an HNO3/H3PO4–NaNO2 oxidation system at different reaction times and temperatures. The degree of oxidation, zeta potential, viscosity, and product yield were evaluated to characterize the changes in the physicochemical properties of the modified polymer. Increasing the reaction time and temperature resulted in a progressive increase in the degree of oxidation, accompanied by an increase in viscosity and a shift of the zeta potential toward more negative values. However, higher oxidation conditions led to a decrease in product yield, suggesting partial degradation of the macromolecular chains. X-ray diffraction analysis showed a gradual decrease in the intensity of the main diffraction peak with increasing oxidation degree, indicating changes in the ordered regions of the inulin structure. The results demonstrate that oxidation significantly affects the structural and physicochemical properties of inulin and can be used to modify its functional characteristics.
