Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book to explore the science underlying the Jerusalem artichoke, which is also known as Helianthus tuberosus L. and it is attracting increasing interest among food scientists and professionals worldwide. Due to a wide perspective for the production of inulin due to its high economic and ecological importance, the development of technologies for isolating and processing tuberous sunflower raw materials using environmentally friendly technologies (green chemistry and white biotechnology) and the global production of inulin shows an increasing tendency. Here we focus on the latest technological achievements related to the use of inulin in the food processing. In this book, readers will find full explanation of the conceptual aspects and the latest research results on a wide range of topics, including the relevant characteristics and applications from various fields. Written by leading scientists in the field, the book will be a valuable resource for students and researchers in the fields of food chemistry, nutritional science, physiology, and bioengineers, as well as for professionals in the food industry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The topics dealt with in this book cover a broad range of disciplines, such as agronomy and processing; analysis; chemistry and non-food applications; biochemistry; microbiology and molecular biology; and food and medical applications. Although emphasis is put on inulin and inulin-containing crops, the scope of the book is much wider, encompassing other fructans and fructan-containing plants, and even microorganisms producing and/or degrading fructans. It also deals with the possibiltiy of inulin-containing crops as alternatives in agricultural practice. This volume is recommended to those working in such diverse fields as agronomy and process technology, food science, analytical and organic chemistry, biochemistry, biology, microbiology and molecular biology, and medical sciences, as well as to industries involved in the research and development of carbohydrate-based novel chemicals.
