these disorders are directly or indirectly connected with lipid metabolism. Inulin
has shown its efcacy in mitigating these disorders by altering lipid metabolism
(Chen etal. 2023). Studies on diabetic mice model with abnormal lipid metabolism
as well as gut microbiota dysfunction have shown that consumption of Jerusalem
artichoke inulin improves the biochemical parameters, including blood glucose,
total cholesterol, and pro-inammatory cytokine reduction (Li etal. 2022). Another
study conducted to determine the effect of inulin administration in pre-weaning
period in piglets has shown that supplementing inulin has a signicant effect in
lipid-metabolizing gene of the ileum (Schroyen etal. 2021). Furthermore, in obsess
ob/ob mice, inulin has shown ameliorative effect on metabolic disorder by remodel-
ing gut microbiota and enhancing the production of short-chain fatty acid level
through the expression of angiopoietin-like protein 4 (Guo etal. 2022).
2.7.1.4 Stimulator oftheImmune System
Metabolism of inulin occurs at the colon part of GIT which led to the production of
metabolites such as short-chain fatty acids. These fatty acids provide energy to
intestinal cells and further act in differentiation of immune cells (Sheng etal. 2023).
Research has shown that consuming inulin in diet alters the epithelium layer of the
colon by intestinal stem cell proliferation which has resulted in deeper crypts and
elongated colons (Corrêa etal. 2023). Furthermore, a study done on goats stated
that a low-carbon and high-inulin diet led to improvement in intestinal mucosal bar-
rier function and provided immunity against infection (Yuan etal. 2023).
2.7.1.5 Absorption Enhancer
Inulin has a signicant effect on the absorption of several elements such as calcium,
iron, and many more. It has been found to increase calcium absorption by passive
diffusion, through bolstering via ion exchange and expanding the surface for absorp-
tion by stimulating colon cell growth. Furthermore, it enhances calcium solubility
and stimulates the level of calcium-binding proteins expressions (Bakirhan and
Karabudak 2023). Furthermore, inulin has also shown effect on iron absorption. In
a study it was found that adding high-performance inulin, oligofructose, and syn-
ergy1in diet led to increase in intestinal absorption of iron in rats (de Cássia Freitas
etal. 2012). Another study stated that supplementing 4% of inulin in the diet of
piglets led to enhanced utilization of intrinsic iron in soya bean and corn diet
(Yasuda etal. 2006).

2.8 Pharmaceutical Benefits

2.8.1 Coating ofDrug
Inulin has a notable characteristic that withstands in the acidic environment of the
stomach and hydrolyzes only in the intestine by microbiota. Digestive enzymes
have no role in its metabolism and absorption. Therefore, it can be utilized as a
delivery vehicle for acid-liable drugs as well as for providing a sustained released

37
action (Akhgari etal. 2009). Many researchers are unitizing this feature of inulin in
development of novel drug delivery vehicles which provides a protective layer to
drug and helps to overcome the drug’s limitations. In a research, inulin in combina-
tion with eudragit RS was used in the coating of 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) for
the treatment of inammatory bowel disease (IBD). The results have shown that the
formulations have the ability to withstand in the acidic pH and a sustained release
of pattern of 5-ASA was achieved in small and large intestines (Imran etal. 2012).
Similarly, the same combination was used for the delivery of budesonide for the
treatment of IBD (Soltani etal. 2023). Furthermore, in another study inulin was
modied to impart it with a positive charge by using glycidyl trimethyl ammonium
chloride for using it as a shell for the core of lecithin sodium acetate for the con-
struction of core-shell lipid nanoparticle for the co-delivery of curcumin and pacli-
taxel in the case of breast cancer. The developed formulation has shown enhanced
cytotoxic effect on MDA-MB-231 cell lines (Vatansever etal. 2023).
2.8.2 As Lyoprotectant andCryoprotectant
Several strategies have been developed by the researchers for protecting the vesicu-
lar drug from degradation and drug leakage during storage. Lyophilization is one of
the efcient methods generally used for removing the bounded and unbounded
aqueous content of the component in order to enhance their long-term stability.
Lyoprotectant plays a major role in lyophilization as it helps to prevent the compo-
nent damage. In several studies the efcacy of inulin as lyoprotectant has been ana-
lyzed. Inulin has been reported to enhance the stability of curcumin-loaded
liposomes as lyoprotectant (Jiang etal. 2023). Whereas, for the freeze-drying of
lactobacillus strain, it has also shown its efcacy as lyoprotectant for long-term stor-
age (Bodzen etal. 2021). Furthermore, in preservation of mammalian cell culture,
it has also shown its activity as a cryoprotectant (Tornacı 2022). Another research
has also shown that inulin can improve the cryopreservation of red blood cells by
promoting the vitrication and inhibiting the ice recrystallization (Hu etal. 2024).

2.8.3 In PEGylation

Systemically administered formulation should possess long circulatory and colloi-
dal stability in order to provide its therapeutic efcacy. PEGylation of formulation
with polyethylene glycol (PEG) was the gold standard for the development of long
circulator novel drug delivery system. But some cases that have been reported state
the development of PEG-directed immunoglobulins after rst administration of for-
mulation. Researchers have worked for the identication of another option for
PEGylation. Inulin has been explored for PEGylation of nanocarriers as an alterna-
tive of PEG.The developed formulation has shown its ability to replace PEG (Sardo
et al. 2022). Furthermore, a mucoadhesive PEGylated inulin-based nanoparticle
formulation that was developed by prima et al. for the enhancement of the
2 Extraction andPurication ofInulin
38
permeation of corticosteroids for transcorneal delivery has also shown its efcacy
(Di Prima etal. 2019).
2.8.4 Used asAdjuvant inVaccine
Apart from drug delivery, inulin has also shown its efcacy in developing an immune
response by working as adjuvant in vaccine. A multi-epitope subunit vaccine devel-
oped by inulin acetate microparticles decorated with mannan has shown immuniza-
tion efcacy in foot and mouth diseases (Yoon et al. 2020). Furthermore,
polycaprolactone- and inulin-based particles were developed to improve the hepati-
tis B (HBV) vaccination strategy. The formulation in the concentration of 4μg/mL
has shown its efcacy to produce Interleukin 12 and 10 (Duarte 2021). Furthermore,
delta inulin has shown its activity in intrapulmonary vaccination by stimulating
nonpolarized signaling chemotactic for combatting respiratory pathogens (Ferrell
etal. 2021). In another research delta inulin was used in mucosal immunization of
mice against SARS-CoV-2 which showed that developed vaccine could elicit lung
resident immune memory and provide protection (Stewart etal. 2022), whereas,
inulin has also shown immune enhancement ability with ptfA gene DNA vaccine
for chicken for Pasteurella multocida (Gong etal. 2020).

2.8.5 As Gel

Inulin has been reported to form gel with water when its concentration raised to
10–15/100g. Providing thermal treatment and shear force to inulin water suspen-
sion led to formation of a gel-like network. This property of inulin has been used in
many food and pharmaceutical industries (Florowska et al. 2020). Inulin oral
administration has reported to show antitumor immunity by modulating gut micro-
biota (Han et al. 2021). Furthermore, for the effective treatment of acute colitis,
orally administrated inulin gel containing Bacillus subtilis and antioxidant atomic
nanocatalyst has shown its therapeutic efcacy (Lu etal. 2024). In another study,
Jerusalem artichoke inulin was used as emulsion gel for delaying the linoleic acid
oxidation due to its higher phenolic content and this study also stated that emulsion
gel with inulin could be a potential fat replacer (Li etal. 2020). Some of the research
on inulin-based drug delivery systems is given in Table2.2.

2.9 Diagnostic Benefits

With therapeutic and pharmaceutical benet, inulin is also used in diagnosis of
many diseases. It has been used as biomarker for determining the glamour ltration
rate in analysis of kidney functioning (Gu and Yang 2022; Wu etal. 2022). Apart
from this, inulin-coated iron oxide super-paramagnetic nanoparticles have been
used in MR imaging in case of hepatic failure. In vivo studies have shown that the

developed nanocomposites have excellent contrast between the normal liver and the
injured one (Kermanian etal. 2021). Inulin has also been utilized as a model mole-
cule for analyzing the effect of intranasal dosing speed and volume of administra-
tion in nose-to-brain delivery (Fukuda etal. 2021).
2.10 Limitations ofExtraction andPurification ofInulin
The extraction process is often labor-intensive and time-consuming, involving mul-
tiple complex steps such as homogenization, enzymatic treatment, and precipitation
(Du etal. 2023). Additionally, variability in yield and purity poses challenges, as
these are inuenced by factors like plant source, environmental conditions, and
extraction methods. Economic feasibility and environmental impact are also critical
concerns, with the need for cost-effective and sustainable extraction techniques
Lastly, regulatory hurdles can complicate the commercialization of inulin-based
products (Fuso 2023).
2 Extraction andPurication ofInulin
40
2.10.1 Complexity ofExtraction Processes
The process of extracting inulin from plant sources entails several intricate proce-
dures, such as enzymatic treatment, precipitation, ultrasound-assisted extraction
(UAE), microwave-assisted extraction (MAE), and supercritical uid extraction
(SFE). These complexities can limit the scalability of the process for industrial
applications. In a study by Lingyun etal., the enzymatic extraction of inulin from
Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus) was investigated. The researchers uti-
lized a combination of cellulase and inulinase enzymes to enhance the extraction
yield. While the process improved inulin recovery, it required precise control of
enzymatic activity, pH, and temperature, making the process intricate and sensitive
to operational conditions. The study concluded that although enzymatic extraction
is effective, the need for enzyme optimization adds to the complexity and cost
(Lingyun etal. 2007). Petkova etal. explored the use of ultrasound-assisted extrac-
tion (UAE) for isolating inulin from dahlia tubers. The application of ultrasound
was found to disrupt cell walls, thereby enhancing the release of inulin. However,
the study noted that the effectiveness of UAE is highly dependent on factors such as
ultrasound frequency, power, and extraction time. Moreover, the scale-up of UAE
for industrial purposes poses technical challenges due to the need for specialized
equipment and energy considerations (Petkova etal. 2018). Alabadi etal. conducted
a study on the microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) of inulin from Jerusalem arti-
choke (Helianthus tuberosus). The use of microwaves signicantly reduced the
extraction time and improved yield. Nonetheless, the process requires careful opti-
mization of microwave power and exposure time to prevent degradation of inulin.
Additionally, the high initial cost of microwave extraction systems can be a barrier
for widespread adoption in industrial settings (Alabadi and Abood 2020). A study
by Zhu etal. examined the supercritical uid extraction (SFE) of inulin from dahlia
tubers (Dahlia pinnata). SFE, utilizing carbon dioxide as a solvent, provided a high-
purity product with minimal environmental impact. However, the process requires
high-pressure equipment and precise control of temperature and pressure condi-
tions, which complicates the operational protocol and increases costs (Zhu etal.
2016). The researchers highlighted the need for further development to make SFE
more cost-effective and scalable.

2.10.2 Yield Variability

The yield of inulin is highly dependent on the plant source and the extraction method
used. Variations in environmental conditions, plant maturity, and processing param-
eters can lead to signicant uctuations in yield (Gholami etal. 2018). This vari-
ability poses challenges in standardizing the extraction process to achieve consistent
product quality. A study by Kanakasabai etal., which investigated the extraction of
inulin with fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) from plant sources, such as chicory roots
(Cichorium intybus L.), was optimized using specic extraction conditions.
Variables including volume of water (10–75 mL), time (10–30 min), and
M. Vishwakarma et al.
41
temperature (30–90°C) were investigated for their effects on inulin yield through
single regression modeling. Additionally, the inuence of water volume on the Brix
index and pH of inulin was examined. Results showed the highest inulin yield of
1.80% at 50 mL water volume, 1.86% at 20min. Heating time, and 1.83% at
90°C.A direct relationship between inulin yield and temperature was observed.
The highest Brix index of 9.25 was recorded at 15mL water volume (Kanakasabai
etal. 2023; Puangbut etal. 2012). A study conducted by Aly etal. examined the
impact of plant maturity on inulin yield from Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus
tuberosus). The researchers observed that the stage of plant maturity at the time of
harvest played a crucial role in inulin content. Plants harvested early (at 90days)
had an inulin yield of 18.6% ± 1.4%, while those harvested at full maturity (at
150days) had a signicantly higher yield of 32.4%±2.0%. This nding suggests
that optimizing harvest times is critical for maximizing inulin yield, but it also intro-
duces variability based on the precise timing of harvests (Aly and Khalil 2017). In
a study by García Lopez etal., different extraction methods were evaluated for their
impact on inulin yield from agave (Agave tequilana). The researchers compared
ultrasound (U), microwave (M), simultaneous ultrasound-microwave (UM), and
heat treatment (HT), nding signicant differences in yields. The yield obtained by
UM (72%) was similar to the other methods; however, the extraction time was
shorter (5min). In U, M, and HT, the yields were 86, 76, and 85% in 35, 30, and
180min, respectively. These results demonstrate the superior efciency of ultra-
sound-assisted extraction in maximizing inulin yield. However, the study also noted
that the efciency of each method varied depending on the specic agave species
used, highlighting the inuence of both extraction technique and plant variety on
inulin yield (García-Villalba etal. 2023).

2.10.3 Purity Challenges

Achieving high purity levels of inulin is challenging due to the presence of other
polysaccharides and impurities that co-extract with inulin. Advanced purication
techniques such as ultraltration and chromatography, while effective, are costly
and may not be feasible for large-scale production. A study by Li etal. investigated
the use of ultraltration for purifying inulin extracted from Jerusalem artichoke
(Helianthus tuberosus). The study compared the purity levels achieved using mem-
branes with different molecular weight cutoffs. Results indicated that a membrane
with a 10kDa cutoff achieved an inulin purity of 85.6%±1.5%, whereas a 5kDa
cutoff membrane increased the purity to 92.3%±1.2%. However, the study high-
lighted that the cost of ultraltration increased signicantly with higher purity lev-
els, making it less feasible for large-scale production (Sağcan etal. 2024). Alexsandra
etal. explored the effectiveness of various chromatographic techniques, including
ion-exchange and size exclusion chromatography, for purifying inulin from. Agave
sisalana boles. Ion-exchange chromatography achieved an inulin purity of
88.4%±2.0%, while size exclusion chromatography reached a higher purity level
of 95.1%±1.3%. Despite the high purity, the study pointed out the high operational
2 Extraction andPurication ofInulin
42
costs and technical expertise required for these techniques, which limit their appli-
cability in industrial settings (Apolinário etal. 2017). A study by Olvera etal. inves-
tigated a combined approach of ultraltration followed by ethanol precipitation for
purifying inulin extracted from agave (Agave tequilana). The combined method
achieved an inulin purity of 93.8%±1.7%, signicantly higher than using ultral-
tration alone (87.2% ± 2.1%). The researchers noted that while the combined
method improved purity, the additional precipitation step increased both the com-
plexity and cost of the purication process, posing challenges for large-scale imple-
mentation (Olvera and Lopez-Munguia 2014).
2.10.4 Regulatory andSafety Issues
The regulatory framework for inulin products differs among various nations, posing
obstacles to the commercialization and worldwide distribution of products contain-
ing inulin. Ensuring adherence to food safety regulations and obtaining necessary
approvals can be a lengthy and complex process (McBurney etal. 2019). Anadón
etal. (Anadón etal. 2016) conducted a study examining the regulatory prerequisites
for inulin products in the European Union. It was discovered by the researchers that
inulin products are required to adhere to the Novel Food Regulation (EU) 2015/2283.
This regulation entails thorough safety evaluations and approval procedures. The
study emphasized a scenario in which a recently developed inulin product derived
from an innovative source encountered a lengthy approval process, resulting in a
substantial delay in its introduction to the market. Moreover, the substantial expense
associated with adherence, which is approximated at €250,000, presented a hin-
drance for small and medium-sized enterprises (Anadón etal. 2016). Tee etal. con-
ducted a case study that analyzed the challenges encountered by a Chinese inulin
producer in their efforts to export to several global markets. The study revealed that
the presence of varying regulatory standards between nations, such as the obligatory
labeling of genetically modied crops (GM crops) in the European Union but not in
China, resulted in substantial obstacles. The company had to modify its labeling and
product compositions to comply with the individual rules of each country, resulting
in extra expenses and logistical difculties. This case highlights the intricate nature
and challenges involved in the international trading of inulin products (Tee and
Chan 2022).

2.11 Future Scope

The extraction and purication of inulin have a promising future due to technologi-
cal improvements, a rising demand for natural and functional components, and a
growing focus on sustainable practices. Advancements in extraction technology
play a crucial role in improving the efciency and productivity of inulin. Novel
techniques such as pulsed electric eld (PEF) extraction, supercritical uid extrac-
tion (SFE), and the utilization of deep eutectic solvents (DES) have promising
M. Vishwakarma et al.
43
advantages in terms of increased productivity, decreased energy usage, and mini-
mized environmental harm (AlYammahi et al. 2023). However, these techniques
require further optimization and validation for industrial-scale applications.
The high expense of the available purication methods continues to be a major
obstacle to inulin’s widespread application. Future research should concentrate on
creating scalable, reasonably priced processes that preserve high purity levels.
Methods like adsorptive separation, membrane ltration, and integrated extraction-
purication processes could provide viable solutions (Huang etal. 2022). Growing
importance is being given to sustainability in the synthesis of bioactive substances.
Reducing the environmental impact of inulin production requires the adoption of
green technologies, such as the use of renewable solvents and energy-efcient pro-
cedures. Investigating the lifecycle assessment (LCA) of various extraction and
purication techniques will aid in determining the most environmentally friendly
procedures (Tsatsaragkou et al. 2023). A further option for raising yield is to
increase the inulin content of plant sources through genetic modication and better
agronomic techniques. Research on improving cultivation conditions and geneti-
cally engineering plants like chicory and Jerusalem artichokes to increase inulin
synthesis can have a big impact on the availability and cost of inulin (Marou 2010).
Addressing regulatory challenges through the harmonization of standards across
regions can facilitate the global trade of inulin products. Future work should aim at
simplifying compliance processes and reducing the time and cost associated with
regulatory approval. Additionally, expanding the market by exploring new applica-
tions of inulin in various industries will drive further growth (Ghosh etal. 2019).
Beyond its conventional uses as a prebiotic and dietary ber, inulin can be used
to explore and develop new applications that could lead to new market opportuni-
ties. Research into inulin’s role as a functional ingredient in pharmaceuticals, cos-
metics, and bioplastics, as well as its potential in biotechnological applications, will
be crucial (Shoaib etal. 2016; Anjuomo etal. 2021). Innovations in technology,
environmental concerns, and growing market demand are driving substantial prog-
ress in inulin extraction and purication. To fully realize the potential of inulin,
future research should concentrate on rening innovative extraction and purication
techniques, improving the sustainability of production processes, and investigating
novel applications for inulin. Collaboration between academia, industry, and regula-
tory bodies will be essential to overcome existing challenges and promote the
growth of the inulin market.

2.12 Conclusion

Inulin is a stored polysaccharide of natural origin but with huge potential in the eld
of application in food and pharmaceutical industries. Plants with the main sources
are Jerusalem artichokes, chicory, and dahlia. Having a conguration of a β-(2,1)-
glycosidic bond structure makes inulin undigestible by human enzymes in the small
intestine. It classies inulin as a soluble dietary ber with prominent prebiotic
effects because it is fermented by benecial gut ora in the large intestine to

produce SCFAs like butyrate, propionate, and acetate. These SCFAs have been
linked to a wide array of health advantages that range from gut health improvement
to protection against some diseases. Interest in inulin is growing, and techniques for
its extraction and characterization have increased. Some of the optimized methods
are HWE, UAE, MAE, and EME, which were developed for high yield, efciency,
and reduced impact on the environment. Each has distinct benets, but UAE and
MAE are especially noted for efciency and lesser energy use. Inulin, together with
its chemical modications, offers further applications in industry and pharmacy.
Esterication, etherication, and carboxymethylation improve its properties to act
as an emulsier, a stabilizer, and in the development of new biomaterials. Most
modications use eco-friendly solvents, aligned with increasing public emphasis on
sustainable practices in chemical processes.
These diverse biological activities, such as immunomodulation, antioxidant
properties, antitumor effects, hepatoprotection, hypoglycemic effects, and gastroin-
testinal protection presented by inulin, make it, therefore, a bioactive compound
with potential value. With the advancement of research, inulin is found to be a very
promising ingredient in functional food and pharmaceuticals for signicant contri-
butions to the enhancement of healthcare and biomedicine.
