DEVELOPMENT OF TECHNOLOGY FOR DRY EXTRACT PRODUCTION FROM JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE TUBERS

Abstract

The article dwells upon the technology of dry extract production from Jerusalem artichoke tubers. The most promising technology is maceration with stirring in 20% ethanol as an extractive solvent. the TLC method was used to identify the major active agents, polysaccharides content was determined spectrophotometrically. The obtained dry extract looks promising as an active substance for a drug formulation development.
