Preparation of Jerusalem artichoke flour
Jerusalem artichoke tubers, white flesh, were obtained from
the Institute for Chemicals and Fuels from Alternative Resources
(ICFAR), University of Western Ontario. The entire
Jerusalem artichoke tubers were washed and sliced to
approximately 2 cm cubes. The obtained slices were transferred
directly to a drying oven and dried at 105 C for 72 h,
then ground to fine particles using a coffee grinder and passed
through a 250 mm mesh. The prepared sample with approximately
3% moisture content was stored in a dry container at
4 C for further use.
