The objective of this study was to produce fructooligosaccharide (FOS) from fresh jerusalem artichoke (JAT) inulin which was extracted by conventional method (hot water extraction) at two different temperature (80˚C & 90˚C\ 90 min). JAT slices were mixed with distilled water at (1 : 5) (w : v) ratio, the obtained extract purified and concentrated to 32˚Brix, then mixed with acetone (1 : 3) (v : v), kept at 4˚C for 24 h., centrifuged at 10000g/ 15 min., and the precipitate dried at 55˚C. Acid hydrolysis of the dried inulin was carried out at three different pH values being (1.5, 2.5 & 3.0) at 85˚C using citric acid (10 %), aliquot of inulin hydrolysate were taken after (5, 10, 15, 20, 25 & 30) min. for qualitative analysis using TLC and RP-HPLC. The results revealed that there were no significant differences in the yield of extracted inulin (33.86, 33.67 %) and extraction efficiency (80.62, 80.17 %) between the extraction at 80˚C and 90˚C\ 90 min. respectively. The optimum condition for acid hydrolysis of the obtained inulin was at pH 2.5 after 15 min at 85˚C. The qualitative analysis for hydrolysate using TLC and RP-HPLC showed that the degree of polymerization (DP) of inulin ranged from (2 - 35) unit and for FOS ranged from (2 – 9) units.

The Recent study aimed to identify the optimum conditions for inulin extraction from jerusalem artichoke tuber (JAT) powder using microwave assisted extraction method, and partially hydrolysis of purified inulin for producing fructooligosaccharide (FOS) using citric acid & microwave energy. The extraction conducted at different temperature (90 – 95) C˚ at (700 W/5min, 450w/8 min and 350w/14 min). The extracted inulin was concentrated to (50 – 60) % of original volume using rotary evaporator, and purified by lime method. The purified inulin extract was concentrated to 32 brix and mixed with acetone (3:1 acetone : extract), kept for 24 h at 4 C˚, then centrifuged at 10000g / 15 min., the precipitate dried at 55 ˚C. Acid hydrolysis of purified inulin carried out at different pH values (1.5, 2.5 & 3.0) at (90 ±2) ˚C. Aliquot of inulin hydrolysate were taken after (5, 10, 15, 20, 25 & 30) min. and subjected to qualitative analysis by RP-HPLC and TLC. The obtained results indicated that the microwave assisted extraction at 700 W/ 5 min. / 95 ˚C was superior as compared to the rest. The yield of extracted inulin was about 39.61 % and the extraction efficiency was 94.31 %, while the optimum condition for inulin acid hydrolysis appeared to be at 90 ˚C/ 15 min at pH 2.5 and 450 W. The qualitative analysis using (RP-HPLC & TLC) showed that the DP of inulin units ranged from (2 - 35) and for FOS ranged from      (2 – 9) unit.

The research in this paper optimized the extraction technique of lentinan with ultrasonic assistant method on the basis of hot water extraction technique, and investigated the promoting function of ultrasound to polysaccharides extraction. Extraction condition was selected by means of orthogonal experimental design, four factors and three levels L9(34), after key elements were respectively chosen through single factor experiments. Comparison between optimal extraction parameters of two method, hot water extraction technique and ultrasonic assistant extraction technique, showed decreased extraction temperature and significantly shortened extraction time, which existed in the second means, improved the extraction efficiency. Lentinus edodes polysaccharide extracted with ultrasonic assistant technique, the extraction rate and polysaccharide content percentage increased 6.22% and 8.66% respectively, comparative to which extracted with hot water extraction technique.

An efficient ultrasonic-assisted extraction of inulin from Jerusalem artichoke was investigated by Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The results showed that the yield of ultrasonic-assisted extraction was 62.07 ± 0.39% over the microwave (40.85 ± 0.28%) and hot water extraction (27.42 ± 0.42%). The Box-Behnken Design (BBD) was used to optimize the effects of three parameters (temperature-X1, ultrasonic power-X2 and time-X3) on inulin yield. Analysis of variance showed that the contributions of X1, X3, X12, X13, X22 were significant. The optimal yield of inulin was 82.93 ± 1.03% at 82 °, 120 W and 18 min.

AbstractBackground:Plantago majorL. leaves have been used for centuries by the traditional medicine in the treatment of infectious disorders of the respiratory, urinary and digestive tracts. Researchers have reported that hot water extracts ofPlantago majorpossess a broad-spectrum of anticancer, antioxidant and antiviral activities, as well as activities which modulate cell-mediated immunity. Their beneficial properties may be due to the significant content of polysaccharides. The polysaccharides that have been isolated from the leaves ofPlantago majorL. have different structures – pectic substances, galactans, arabinogalactans, glucomannans.Aim:The aim of this paper was to study the correlation between the structure of the water extractable polysaccharides isolated fromPlantago majorL. leaves and their enzymatic hydrolysis with different carbohydrate hydrolases.Materials and methods:The hydrolysis reactions were performed with the enzymes hemicellulase and mannanase. Spectrophotometric total reducing sugars assay was used to examine the hydrolysis yield. The monosaccharide and oligosaccharide compositions were determined using HPLC analysis.Results:The highest hydrolysis yield of the water extractable polysaccharides fromPlantago majorleaves was obtained by treatment with hemicellulase. The hydrolysis yield increased with the augmentation of the ratio of enzyme to polysaccharide. Galactose was the prevalent monosaccharide identified in the composition of the isolated polysaccharides. Oligosaccharides with different degree of polymerization were also detected.Conclusion:The enzymatic hydrolysis of water extractable polysaccharides fromPlantago majorleaves allows us to obtain different types of oligosaccharides with beneficial effects on both human health and industry.

Increasing knowledge of the role of the intestinal microbiome in human health and well-being has resulted in increased interest in prebiotics, mainly oligosaccharides of various origins. To date, there are no reports in the literature on the prebiotic properties of oligosaccharides produced by the hydrolysis of pure fungal α-(1→3)-glucan. The aim of this study was to prepare α-(1→3)-glucooligosaccharides (α-(1→3)-GOS) and to perform initial evaluation of their prebiotic potential. The oligosaccharides were obtained by acid hydrolysis of α-(1→3)-glucan isolated from the fruiting bodies of Laetiporus sulphureus and then, characterized by HPLC. Fermentation of α-(1→3)-GOS and reference prebiotics was compared in in vitro pure cultures of Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, and enteric bacterial strains. A mixture of α-(1→3)-GOS, notably with a degree of polymerization of 2 to 9, was obtained. The hydrolysate was utilized for growth by most of the Lactobacillus strains tested and showed a strong bifidogenic effect, but did not promote the growth of Escherichia coli and Enterococcus faecalis. α-(1→3)-GOS proved to be effective in the selective stimulation of beneficial bacteria and can be further tested to determine their prebiotic functionality.

By determining the amount of formaldehyde produced on periodate oxidation of borohydride-reduced apple- and cherry-wood xylans the degree of polymerization was shown to be 155 and 100 respectively. Acid hydrolysis of the polyols obtained by periodate oxidation and borohydride reduction gave ethylene glycol in amounts indicating that these xylans have a small degree of branching. Mild acid hydrolysis of the polyols demonstrated that in these xylans D-glucuronic acid as well as 4-O-methyl-D-glucuronic acid was present and that some of the former occupied non-terminal positions.
