This study was performed to determine the optimal composition of a muffin added with jerusalem artichoke powder and oligosaccharide. The experiment was designed based on CCD (central composite design), and evaluation was carried out by means of RSM (response surface methodology), which included 10 experimental points with three replicates each for the two independent variables jerusalem artichoke powder and oligosaccharide. The experimental muffin was prepared according to a traditional recipe, except that the flour was partially replaced by jerusalem artichoke powder (5, 15, or 25%) and the sugar was partially replaced by oligosaccharide (25, 50, or 75%). Using F-test, height, moisture, a-value, b-value, springiness, cohesiveness, texture, and overall acceptability were expressed as a linear model, whereas volume, pH, L-value, appearance, flavor and taste were expressed as a quadratic model. Increased amounts of jerusalem artichoke powder led to reduction of sensory scores for appearance, flavor, taste, texture, and overall quality. The optimum formulation determined by the numerical and graphical methods were similar: jerusalem artichoke powder 10.99%, oligosaccharide 71.40%.

In order to develop low calorie noodles, flours of Jerusalem artichoke and strong wheat were mixed with ratios of 25 : 75, 30 : 70 and 35 : 65. The substitution of wheat flour with Jerusalem artichoke powder up to 25% showed good formation of noodle stripes similar to that of wheat flour alone. The formation was effectively improved by addition of $0.5{\sim}1.0%$ solution alginate, 1.0% Fremol or mixure of 0.5% ${\alpha}-Polygel$, 0.5% Alcalin and 1.5% fremol for $25{\sim}30%$ substitution with Jerusalem articoke powder. Also addition of sodium alginate to the 30% substitution with Jerusalem artichoke powder showed the high Hunter value of Lightness and good cooking quality of noodle, relatively close to those of noodle of wheat flour alone. The dough prepared with mixed flours showed increase in cohesiveness and resilience and decrease in hardness and adhesiveness, compared to those of wheat flour. The addition of sodium alginate was very effective for increase in adhesiveness and cohesiveness. The cohesiveness of cooked noodles was increased with substitution with Jerusalem artichoke powder while sodium alginate influenced little. There is no significant difference of taste, odor, color and texture of cooked noodles between wheat flour alone and composite flours with $25{\sim}30%$ of Jerusalem artichoke and texture modifying agents. The results suggested that good quality noodles could be produced using Jerusalem artichoke powder.

The quantitative effects of molecular weight and concentrations of two phase-forming polymers-polyethylene glycol and crude dextran on the two phase extractive ethanol fermentation were investigated using a Box-Wilson central composite protocol. The regression model obtained was used in order to determine optimum compositions of aqueous two phase system. In the aqueous two phase extractive ethanol fermentation of Kluyueromyces fragilis CBS 1555 with Jerusalem artichoke juice, it was found from the regression model that the variables influenlcing on ethanol fermentation were PEG concentration, time, Dx concentration, and PEG molecular weight strongly in order. The interaction of PEG concentration and PEG molecular weight was also found, and the effect of PEG concentration decreased with increase in molecular weight of PEG. The ethanol concentration incresed with increase in molecular weight of PEG, and with decrease in concentration of PEG. In conolusion, maximum concentration of ethanol produced was obtained at the following compositions; PEG MW 20000, Dx concentration ranged from 4% to 5%, and PEG concentration ranged from 3% to 7%.

Hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic effects of Jerusalem artichoke composites (JAP) with extracts of G. procumbens (12.5%), M. charantia (12.5%), and C. longa (12.5%) to H. tuberosus concentrate (JA, 50%) were evaluated in streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic rats. Rats were divided into seven groups: normal (Normal), diabetic control (Diabetic), group fed G. procumbens extract (0.5 g/kg bw, D-GPE), group fed JAP (0.5 g/kg bw, D-JAP1; 1.5 g/kg bw, D-JAP2), group fed JA (0.5 g/kg bw, D-JA), and group fed Metformin (0.2 g/kg bw, D-MET) as a positive control. The blood glucose levels over 4 weeks were significantly decreased in the D-JAP2 and D-MET groups compared to the other groups after 3 weeks. The serum insulin level was not significant among the groups fed an experimental diet, but the HOMA-IR value was significantly decreased compared to the diabetic control group. AST and ALT activities in the serum were lowest in D-JAP1. Total lipid and triglyceride contents in the serum decreased in the groups fed an experimental diet, and the HDL-C contents of D-GPE, D-JAP1, and D-JAP2 were significantly increased compared to the diabetic control group. Triglyceride contents in the liver tissue were significantly lower in the D-GPE, D-JAP1, and D-JAP2 groups, and hepatic TBARS content was significantly decreased in the D-JAP1 and D-JAP2 groups compared to the diabetic control group. Hepatic antioxidative enzyme levels, such as SOD, catalase, and GSH-Px, were significantly elevated in groups fed an experimental diet compared to the diabetic control group. Therefore, JAP may be more effective than JA in the human body due to its hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic activities.
