FOSs are short-chain fructose-based oligosaccharides with notable functional and health benefits. Naturally present in various fruits vegetables, primarily produced enzymatically or microbially from sucrose long-chain fructans, namely, inulin. Enzymes such as fructosyltransferase, β-fructofuranosidase, endoinulinase typically involved its production. The chemical structure of consists an assembly fructose residues combined a glucose unit. increasing consumer demand for healthy foods has driven the widespread use food industry. Thus, have been incorporated into dairy products, beverages, snacks, pet foods. Beyond feed applications, serve low-calorie sweetener used dietary supplements pharmaceuticals. As prebiotic, they enhance gut by promoting growth beneficial bacteria, aid digestion, improve mineral absorption, help regulate cholesterol triglyceride levels. Generally recognized safe (GRAS) approved global regulatory agencies, valuable ingredient both applications. This review provides updated perspective on natural sources occurrence FOSs, their structures, physicochemical physiological features, some focus critical assessment potential Moreover, FOS production methods concisely addressed, forthcoming developments involving suggested.

Helianthus tuberosus L. (Jerusalem artichoke) tubers and aerial parts possess both nutritional therapeutic properties. The Jerusalem artichoke has been utilized for various applications, including its use as a functional food source, reservoir of bioactive compounds, raw material to produce biofuels. Moreover, the is rich source an indigestible polysaccharide called inulin, which serves prebiotic that improves gastrointestinal health. This plant used globally throughout history dietary supplement, pain treatment, reduce swelling, boost immune system, well treat skin wounds in folk medicine. It abundant such phenolic acids, coumarins, flavonoids, are known exert pharmacological activities, antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory literature on potential antidiabetic, anticancer, anti-fungistatic, antiviral, anti-obesity agent, among others, scanty. review aims provide comprehensive overview L.’s traditional uses, properties, secondary properties further explore health benefits.
