Inulin powders in which at least a majority of the inulin is in the form of small particles having dimension less than about 30 micrometers in their largest dimension. Inulin powders that have greater solubility than corresponding non-powdered inulin. Powdered sweeteners containing inulin with sucralose in which the sucralose has improved thermal stability and the powders have increased solubility in water. The compositions can be prepared by forming a solution of the inulin, or sucralose and inulin, in water which is then spray-dried with an atomizing nozzle, projecting a fine spray into an air stream at elevated temperatures in a chamber under a partial vacuum. Other ingredients, such as other high intensity sweeteners, natural sweeteners, non-fat dry milk, lactose, polyols, extracts, and flavorings may be included in the powder.
