“…The Helianthus tuberosus addition into diets significantly (P ≤ 0.05) increased total short-chain fatty acids concentrations as the level of Jerusalem artichoke in the diet increased. Also, lactic acid content was increased and ammonia concentration was reduced in feces due to Helianthus tuberosus supplementation (Samal et al, 2017). These findings may suggest the obtained results of total protein and triglycerides.…”

“…These results were in agreement with those obtained by Swanson et al (2002); Strickling et al (2000) and Flickinger et al (2003). Samal et al (2017) showed that supplementation of Jerusalem artichoke (JA) to diets improved digestibility coefficient of CP, EE and CF when addition JA tuber powder (JA 0,2,4 and 6% pulverized) in rats and better absorption of calcium and phosphorus. Pradhan et al (2015) observed a reduction in protein digestibility upon dietary supplementation with 2% of Helianthus tuberosus in the diet.…”

Helianthus tuberosus in Ossimi rams rations were evaluated through digestibility, feeding values and some blood parameters. Ossimi rams weighed 45±5 kg in average were used to evaluate the rations supplemented by Helianthus tuberosus. The tested rations were D 1 (control) composed of 60% concentrate mixture (CM) + 40% wheat straw (WS); D 2 , 52.5% CM + 7.5% Helianthus tuberosus (HT) +40% (WS); D 3, 45% CM +15% HT +40% WS and D 4, 30% CM +30% HT +40% WS. The results revealed that Ossimi rams fed rations of D 2 and D 3 showed higher significantly values (P<0.05) of most digestibility coefficients and feeding values compared with control ration. While, insignificant differences were found between D 1 and D 4 regarding digestibilities and feeding values. The obtained results of some blood parameters showed the same trend of rations digestibilities. Adding Helianthus tuberosus in the rations of D 2 and D 3 (7.5 and 15% HT) of Ossimi rams improved nutrients digestibility and feeding values and some blood parameters.

“…Due to the high content of inulin, TPB also represents a valuable alternative source of prebiotic compounds [25]. This property of TPB was used in studies carried out by Samal et al [44]. The aim of their experiment was to investigate the effect of dietary supplementation with TPB tuber powder as a prebiotic on the growth of probiotic bacteria in the gut, as well as its growth performance and nutrient digestibility in rats.…”

Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus Linne) is a tuberous perennial plant of the Asteraceae family, which originates from North America, and is also known as wild sunflower or topinambur (TPB). It is characterized by good tolerance to frost, drought and poor soil, strong resistance to pests and plant diseases. For ages it was cultivated due to being both an edible tuber and having healing properties. In folk medicine, TPB leaves are used for the treatment of bone fractures and pain. TPB tubers are rich in sugar and have therefore been used for the production of functional food ingredients, such as inulin. Moreover, TPB is one of the potential crops for bioenergy production, such as bioethanol, biobuthanol and biodiesel, and chemicals (lactic acid, butyric acid). A number of bioactive compounds from the above ground parts of this plant have been isolated which have demonstrating antifungal, antioxidant and anticancer activities. In recent years, a number of animal experiments have been carried out to assess the health properties of TPB. Obtained results show that TPB possess a wide spectrum of medical applications, e.g. reduction in the levels of plasma glucose, total cholesterol and triglyceride. Interestingly, TPB has been shown to be a valuable alternative source of prebiotic compounds. This review article presents recent scientific reports on the chemical and biological properties of TPB and its potential use as a prebiotic diet supplement.

Human Health Benefits through Daily Consumption of Jerusalem Artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.) Tubers

“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food”, is one of the most famous phrases attributed to Hippocrates, the father of medicine. Scientific research on superfoods has increased in the last six years. These foods have nutritional and pharmacological properties, such that they can help to fight against diseases and poor nutritional status. Helianthus tuberosus L., or Jerusalem artichoke, appears to be a superfood that provides benefits to human health at the level of the digestive, gastrointestinal, and dermatological systems, being fit for patients with diabetes mellitus due to its high content of inulin and use in an optimal hypocaloric diet due to its low carbohydrate content. In fact, 5 to 15 g per day is beneficial, with evidence of a prebiotic effect. Unfortunately, its consumption and cultivation are not well known worldwide. For this reason, the present review describes the benefits of H. tuberosus in human health to promote knowledge about its nutritional benefits.
