Key Points

To determine optimal extraction conditions for recovering inulin and fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) from traditional plant roots and novel globe artichoke by-products.
Evaluated chicory roots, Jerusalem artichoke tubers, globe artichoke inflorescences, and globe artichoke by-products using a Box-Behnken response surface methodology design across temperature (60–80 °C), time (20–60 min), and solvent-to-solid ratio (10–40 mL/g).
Quantified inulin and FOS yields colorimetrically and characterized carbohydrate profiles using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).
Optimal extraction conditions across plant sources ranged from 62–80 °C, 22–60 min, and solvent-to-solid ratios of 27.8–37.4 mL/g.
Jerusalem artichoke tuber yielded the highest inulin plus FOS content (81.1 g/100 g dry weight) and chicory root yielded 70.5 g/100 g dry weight, compared to 4.2 g/100 g dry weight in globe artichoke by-product.
