Purification of jerusalem artichoke fructans and their utilisation by bifidobacteria

Purification of jerusalem artichoke fructans and their utilisation by bifidobacteria Ash‐free white powder of fructans was prepared from the tubers of Jerusalem artichoke by hot‐water extraction followed by treatment with charcoal and ion exchangers. A simple method for measuring the effects of carbon sources on the growth of bifidobacteria was developed. Bifidobacteria grew equally well in the Jerusalem artichoke fructans as in enzymically prepared fructooligosaccharides (Meioligo P). Much slower growth occurred, however, with a commercial fructan product from chicory (Fibruline). http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture Wiley

Abstract

Ash‐free white powder of fructans was prepared from the tubers of Jerusalem artichoke by hot‐water extraction followed by treatment with charcoal and ion exchangers. A simple method for measuring the effects of carbon sources on the growth of bifidobacteria was developed. Bifidobacteria grew equally well in the Jerusalem artichoke fructans as in enzymically prepared fructooligosaccharides (Meioligo P). Much slower growth occurred, however, with a commercial fructan product from chicory (Fibruline).
