Technological proposal for a garlic-derived inulin extraction process

Abstract:

Inulin is an essential part of the family of complex carbohydrates, which actively participates in industrial applications, since it is an active ingbkp_redient of several vegetative species of tubers and roots. In developing countries, there are no inulin production industry from biomass. This carbohydrate is only imported as active ingbkp_redient of pharmaceutical drugs and quantification in already elaborated products. These are the reasons, why it is extremely important the development of inulin industrial production. This research aims to design a technological process to produce inulin from garlic biomass (Allium sativum), starting from the state of the art analysis of the field, which prioritizes the study of inulin extraction from garlic by solid-liquid extraction at laboratory scale, using water as solvent. The influence of the variables water/garlic ratio: 2, 3 and 4 ml water/g garlic and the temperature: 30, 55 and 80 C on the extraction …
