Spray-Drying Process Optimization of Chicory Root Inulin
Drying Technology, 2010This work reports the optimization of a spray-drying process to obtain inulin powder from a concentrated solution extracted from chicory roots. The influence of inlet air, solution temperature, and feed pump speed on the mass yield of the drying process was studied.

Chemical Modification of Chicory Root Inulin
1993ABSTRACT Some methods of derivatization used for chemically modifying starch were applied to inulin in order to improve its functional properties. Attempts were made to esterify inulin with sodium trimetaphosphate and with a mixed acetic/adipic acid anhydride. Using these bifunctional reagents esterification of inulin proved to be possible.

Isolation and characterization of fructosyltransferase from chicory roots
Phytochemistry, 1971Abstract The occurrence of fructosyltransferase was demonstrated in the roots of chicory. The enzyme was purified 14-fold by ammonium sulphate fractionation and sephadex column chromatography. The optimal conditions for activity were pH 5·6, 37° and substrate (sucrose) concentration of 5·84 × 10 −1 M.

Airflow through Beds of Apples and Chicory Roots
Biosystems Engineering, 2004Abstract Pressure drops through batches of apples and chicory roots were measured. The results were correlated by means of Darcy–Forchheimer equations. The equations were modified to incorporate the effect of shape, surface roughness and confinement based on physical considerations. The confinement parameters were determined by means of computational

Substrate specificity of fructosyl transferase from chicory roots
Phytochemistry, 1971Abstract The substrate specificity of the enzyme, fructosyl transferase (sucrose-sucrose 1-fructosyl transferase) from chicory root was studied by incubating a number of sugars, alone and in combination, with the enzyme. Sucrose was found to be the true substrate.

Release of inulin by enzymatic liquefaction of chicory roots
Food Chemistry, 1985Abstract During liquefaction of chicory roots with commercial pectolytic and cellulolytic enzymes the release of inulin has been followed with high-performance liquid chromatography. For the release of inulin pH 4·6-4·0 is optimal: almost all inulin is present in the liquid phase (supernatant).

Cultivation and breeding of root chicory for inulin production
Industrial Crops and Products, 1992Abstract Belgium has a tradition of cultivating chicory for use as a coffee surrogate. Recently, chicory has become more important for the extraction of inulin and hydrolysis products such as oligofructose and fructose. Cultivation is surveyed, highlighting specific problems in relation to phytotechnic practices (crop rotation, fertilization, sowing,

CFD Simulations of Chicory Root Palloxes for Cool Storage
IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2000Abstract A model is presented to investigate the airflow through a row of palloxes and the corresponding temperature and moisture distributions using computational fluid dynamics. The pressure drop through the bulk of chicory roots has been measured and incorporated in the model.
