Abstract:

The best carbon source for bifidobacterial growth was selected from inulin, glucose and whole powder of
Jerusalem artichoke Tubers, and the bifidobacterial enrichment culture conditions based on the selected carbon source
were optimized by experimental design using Design-Expert 8.0 and response surface analysis. Both inulin and glucose
were good bifidobacterial growth promoters when used as sole carbon sources;however, whole powder of Jerusalem
artichoke Tubers was more effective in promoting bifidobacterial growth, providing a 5.3-fold and 16.8-fold increase in
bifidobacterial populations after enrichment culture compared to inulin and glucose, respectively. When whole powder of
Jerusalem artichoke Tubers was used as the carbon source, the optimal culture conditions were 36 ℃, 21 g/L of carbon
source concentration and 10% of inoculum concentration.

Key words: whole powder of Jerusalem artichoke Tubers, Bifidobacterium, optimization, response surface analysis
