Inulin extracted from Dahlia single L. tubers has been standardized. Procedures for the quantitative determination of the main substance (inulin) and bound glucose have been developed. Their contents are 95.72 ± 1.05% and 4.38 ± 0.85%, respectively. Some physicochemical properties of inulin, including surface activity, micelle formation ability, and solubilization ability, have been studied.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
