This research aims to identify optimal conditions for extracting inulin from Jerusalem artichoke tubers using ultrasonic techniques.
Used ultrasonic-assisted extraction to obtain inulin from Jerusalem artichoke tubers.
Investigated variables including time, temperature, pH, and solid to liquid ratio.
Measured inulin yield using a colorimetric method with vanillin-sulfuric acid.
Achieved a maximum inulin yield of 99.47% at 70°C, pH 7, for 60 minutes, with a solid to solvent ratio of 10g/100ml.
