Optimization of Spray-Drying Process of Jerusalem artichoke Extract for Inulin Production
Jerusalem artichoke is an important natural matrix for inulin production. In this experiment, response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to optimize the spray-drying parameters in order to determine the maximal inulin yield.

Rheological and Micro-Rheological Properties of Chicory Inulin Gels
As a soluble fiber, inulin is present in many plants and has many applications in food and non-food products. In this work, we investigated the rheological properties of inulin dispersions at seven concentrations.

Investigation Of Changes Of Structural-mechanical Properties Of Fatty Filling For Synbiotic Wafers [PDF]
There was grounded the choice of functional ingredients for creating the synbiotic complex, consisted of immobilized bifidobacteria and inulin. There was demonstrated the necessity to realize the process of immobilization for “defending” bifidobacteria ...

Chicory roots improves the taste and odour of organic pork [PDF]
The carbohydrate inulin is known to reduce the production of skatole in pigs. This is caused by inulin changing the intestinal flora, so that the bacteria that produce skatole are held in check.

The effects of dietary fibre type on satiety-related hormones and voluntary food intake in dogs [PDF]
Depending on type and inclusion level, dietary fibre may increase and maintain satiety and postpone the onset of hunger. This 7-week study evaluated the effect of fibre fermentability on physiological satiety-related metabolites and voluntary food intake

Heat-induced degradation of inulin [PDF]
Abstract: Heat treatment of inulin at 135 to 190°C leads to a decrease in the measurable amount of the fructan, when quantified as fructose after enzymatic hydrolysis. Using high-performance anion-exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection, degradation of the fructan chains and concomitant formation of low-molecular products was ...

Microphysiological Systems for Comorbidity Studies: Chronic Kidney Disease and Osteoarthritis
This review highlights the potential of organ‐on‐a‐chip systems for studying comorbidities, using chronic kidney disease (CKD) and osteoarthritis (OA) as examples. It summarizes recent advances in kidney‐on‐a‐chip and joint‐on‐a‐chip models and discusses their current and potential application in investigating CKD, OA, and CKD‐OA comorbidity, aiming to
