This is the first study in which the effect of degree of polymerization (DP) (˂10 and ≥23) of inulin (6.00, 9.00, and 12.0/100 g) on main quality parameters (color, texture, water activity, sensory properties, and melting behavior) of compound chocolate's (CC) was investigated. According to the determined L* values, using inulin (12/100 g) with high DP resulted in more glossy samples (p < .05). Except ∆h value, the melt ing parameters of CC were not affected. However, the hardness of samples (391.9– 587.1 g) was determined in a wide range. The CC samples including inulin with higher DP had higher aw values (p < .05). According to the results of sensory analysis, using low DP inulin (
