Method for obtaining inulin from plants

摘要

The invention describes a method for obtaining inulin which comprises: a) finely comminuting inulin-containing plant material, wherein particle sizes of the plant material are generated which are smaller than the size of the inulin-containing plant cells, b) suspending the finely comminuted plant material in a liquid, wherein inulin is released from the plant material and suspended in particulate form in the liquid, c) separating off plant particles from the liquid, wherein the inulin which is suspended in particulate form remains in the liquid, d) separating off the inulin which is suspended in particulate form from the liquid. The method is suitable in particular for obtaining inulin from artichoke roots.

1. A method for obtaining inulin comprising:
a) finely comminuting inulin-containing plant material, wherein the comminuting produces plant particles that are smaller in size than inulin-containing plant cells, b) suspending the finely comminuted plant particles in a liquid thereby forming a suspension, and releasing inulin from the plant particles, in particulate form into the liquid, c) separating plant particles from the liquid, wherein the inulin which is suspended in particulate form remains in the liquid, which is carried out at a temperature of 5° C. to <60° C., and d) separating off the inulin which is suspended in particulate form from the liquid.
