Abstract

High biomass yields per hectare, coupled with a favourable composition give the Jerusalem artichoke a number of important applications. It can be used as a foodstuff for humans and livestock as well as a carbohydrate source for many industrial processes. In this article, considerable attention is given to the potential utilization of this crop for ethanol and high-fructose syrup production. The methods of raw material and carbohydrate preparation for ethanol production as well as the parameters and systems of processing are discussed in detail. Some aspects pertaining to the food and fodder value of the Jerusalem artichoke are also presented.
