Abstract
Fructan, a fructose homopolymer, is found in various foods, including onion, garlic, chicory, Jerusalem artichoke, banana, and Cheonggukjang. This study aimed to quantitatively analyze both levan-type and insulin-type fructan using acid analysis and enzyme treatment. In order to analyze fructan contents, we applied optimized conditions to various fructan-rich foods using products from 2017. In the case of oxalic acid hydrolysis, fructose concentrations increased as oxalic acid concentration increased. Inulinase treatment was better than invertase treatment in terms of fructose liberation from fructan. We applied three different methods to fructan-rich foods, including onion, garlic, banana, and Cheonggukjang and found that fructose released from fructan-rich foods was the highest in oxalic acid hydrolysis among three different methods. Except for Cheonggukjang, inulinase treatment produced better results in terms of fructose contents than invertase treatment. From our study, estimated daily fructan intakes by Koreans were 1,172~3,402 mg from onion and garlic. In conclusion, we believe that information on fructan-rich foods may be helpful to understand their roles in the human digestive system.
