“…The fructose and glucose structure of inulin enable the compound to act as an alternative source for bioethanol (Li, Li, Wang, Du, & Qin, 2013). This process typically involves either converting the inulin into its simple sugar components through hydrolysis and then fermenting the sugars with yeast, or directly fermenting the inulin with specific yeasts that contain inulinase activity (Apoliná rio et al, 2014;Bajpai & Bajpai, 1991;Matí as, Gonzá lez, Royano, & Barrena, 2011). Aside from its use in biofuel production, inulin also holds significant implications as an additive in food products.…”
