Introduction:

Common chicory, Cichorium intybus, is a somewhat woody, perennial herbaceous plant usually with bright blue flowers. Many varieties are cultivated for it’s roots. Dried chicory root extract contains, by weight, approximately 98% inulin and 2% other compounds.The Jerusalem artichoke also called sunroot, sunchoke, earth apple or topinambour, it’s cultivated widely across the temperate zone for its tuber, which is used as a rootvegetable.The artichoke contains about 10% protein, no oil, and a surprising lack of starch. However, it is rich in the carbohydrate inulin (76%), which is a polymer of the monosaccharide fructose.

The inulins in the chicory root extract is belong to a class of dietary fibers known as fructans. Most plants that synthesize and store inulin do not store other forms of carbohydrate such as starch.Inulin is not digested by enzymes in the human alimentary system, contributing to its functional, properties: reduced calorie value, dietary fiber and prebiotic effects.

Without color and odor, Inulin has little impact on sensory characteristics of food products.Nonhydrolyzed inulin can also be directly converted to ethanol in a simultaneous saccharification and fermentation process, which may have great potential for converting crops high in inulin into ethanol for fuel.
