Conclusion
The addition of Jerusalem artichoke powder significantly (pd0.05) influenced the amount of nonstarch
polysaccharides in pastry products.
Amount of non-starch polysaccharides in cakes, butter biscuits and honey biscuits increased with
increasing of concentration of Jerusalem artichoke powder.
Glucose, galactose, mannose, arabinose, xylose, rhamnose, fucose are found as the non-starch
polysaccharides monomers in Jerusalem artichoke powder and in pastry products with Jerusalem
artichoke powder.
The main pentose is arabinose while glucose is main hexose in cakes, honey biscuits and butter
biscuits with added Jerusalem artichoke.
Pastry products with added 30 % Jerusalem artichoke powder are permitted to call “source of DF”.
