The main aim of this study was to establish the optimum dose of Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.) flour to be used as a functional ingredient in the bakery products industry, from both a nutritional and technological point of view. H. tuberosus has an important functional potential given by its high content of inulin, minerals, amino acids, and organic silicon. In this work, H. tuberosus flour was used for the enrichment of wheat flour with functional biocompounds. The experiments evaluated the functional potential of wheat flour enriched with H. tuberosus flour, in different proportions, by examining the chemical composition and rheological behaviour of the doughs. It was found that incorporation up to a 5% into the formulation of wheat flour yielded an acceptable product in terms of rheological parameters, with improved nutritional and functional properties.

SUMMARYThe objective of this paper was to estimate the genetic and ecological variation as well as the stability of tuber yield per plant, tuber number per plant and tuber size of Jerusalem artichoke based on the results of a variety trial carried out with 20 different Jerusalem artichoke varieties during the period of 1994-2000. Significant genetic as well as ecologycal variation was observed for all of the traits studied. The most promissing varieties showing high tuber yield combined with high yield stability were “BT-4”, “Violet Rennes” and “UKR 4/ 82”. It is encouraging that the highest yielding varieties exibited a rather stable performance over environments.
