Inulin extraction from common inulin-containing plant sources [PDF]
Industrial Crops and Products, 2021 Currently there is a growing interest from the food industry in obtaining inulin for its possible use in the elaboration of functional foods. A set of optimum extraction conditions was developed for the recovery of inulin plus fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) from several common inulin-containing plant sources, like chicory roots (Cichorium intybus L ...

Synthesis of Carbamoylethyl Inulin and Carboxyethyl Inulin [PDF]
Starch - Stärke, 1998 Inulin etherified with carbamoylethyl groups and with carboxyethyl groups is described. Both materials were prepared by hydrolysis of the nitriles of cyanoethyl inulin, which was obtained from reaction of inulin with acrylonitrile.

Determination of Inulin in Foods [PDF]
Journal of AOAC INTERNATIONAL, 2000 Abstract A method was developed for determining fructan inulin in various foods (yogurts, honey cakes, chocolates). Warm water was applied for extraction of samples, and mono- and dissacharides were determined by a thin-layer chromatographic densitometric method. A portion of the test solution was hydrolyzed 30 min with 1% oxalic acid in

Molecular hydrogen as a potential mediator of the antitumor effect of inulin consumption [PDF]
Scientific ReportsInulin consumption and dihydrogen (H2) administration both exert antitumor effects on preclinical models as well as in clinical trials. As H2 is one of the major byproducts of inulin fermentation by bacterial species of the gut microbiota (GM), we ...
