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.

Prof. Barbara Sawicka, I completed my PhD and habilitation at the Agricultural University of Lublin (Poland). I am a full professor at the University of Life Sciences in Lublin, Faculty of Agro bioengineering. My scientific research concerns the yield variability of cultivated plant varieties, the quality of plant raw materials, food safety and commodity science of plant raw materials. Author of 998 scientific publications, 20 books and 2 patents. Promoter of over 400 engineering and master's theses and 11 doctoral theses. Editor or co-editor of four scientific journals. Member of three scientific societies. Dr. Barbara Krochmal-Marczak, is an expert in the field of agricultural sciences, the discipline of agriculture and horticulture.
