  • The inulase(EC 3.2.1.7) was isolated from the tuber of Jerusalem artichoke by conventional purification methods including ammonium sulfate fractionation, Sephadex G-100 filtration, and DEAE-cellulose column chromatography. The enzyme was purified 6,470 fold with 42% recovery, The enzyme was consisted of a polypeptide of Mw 57,000. The optimum temperature and the optimum pH for the enzyme action was $33^{\circ}C$ and pH 5.0, respectively. The enzyme was highly specific for inulin as a substrate. The km for inulin was 20mM. The inulase was not a metalloenzyme and was inhibited completely by 10mM $Mg^{2+},Ca^{2+},\;or\;Hg^{2+}$.

  • Nineteen clones of Jerusalem Artichoke (JA) from several countries were collected through the series of experiments about JA started in 1979. Collected clones were screened for adaptibility in Korea and showed introduction path way. The results about an ecological response of collected clones including flowering, tuberization, biomass production, sugar contents and grouping of collected clones for use of genetic material were as follows; 1. Nineteen clones collected were ffom Korea(2), Japan(l), USA(Z), Canada(2), France(4), Germany(7), and USSR(1). 2. Through the characteristics of top collected clones were divided to the types of branch-non branch, short and long plant height, and early and late maturity. Tuber characteristics were mainly grouped to the types of white skin color-violet skin color, clusters-single unit, round-elongate, and knotty-smooth. 3. Total sugar yields 6-om top at flowering time were 490 - 630kgl10a and 6-om the tuber were 420 -490 kg/ IOa through the high yielding clones. The top-high yielding clones were Mammoth French White, Fuseau 60, Nahodka, and JA3. The higher tuber yields were got from the clones of D- 19, Colombia, Bianka and Mammoth French White. 4. Collected clones were grouped to three and first group was characterized to early maturity and short plant height and second group to medium and finally, third group to late maturity and high plant height. 5. High yielding of top was 6-om the I group of early maturity and short plant height and high yielding of tuber h m III group of late maturity and high plant height.

  • Apex removal is a common practice in artichoke cultivation to harvest heads of lateral shoots. This experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of apex removal by different planting times on the growth and yield of Artichoke (Cynara scolymus L.) in open field. Two treatments (apex removal and no apex removal) at three different planting times ($1^{st}$: Sep. 27, 2011, $2^{nd}$: March 29, 2012, and $3^{rd}$: Sep. 21, 2012) were tested using 'Green Globe' variety. There was no difference in the head characteristics and the number of harvested head between the treatments. The head weight was heavier in no apex removal of 242.7 g than the apex removal of 170.8 g. The yield also increased in no apex removal by 25% (1,249 kg/10a) compared to the apex removal of 997 kg/10a at the first planting time. At the second planting time, there was no difference in the head weights between the treatments. But the number of the harvested head was higher in no apex removal with 10.8 than 8.2 of the apex removal. The yield of no apex removal was 2,660 kg/10a, which was higher than 1,848 kg/10a of apex removal. At the third planting time, the head weight increased in no apex removal with 253.5 g compared to the apex removal with 218.7 g. The yield of no apex removal was 1,405 kg/10a, which was higher than 1,148 kg/10a of the apex removal. All the tests at 3 different planting times showed that the artichoke yields were higher in no apex removal than in apex removal. Therefore, it is desirable to cultivate artichoke without removing the apex for the higher yield and labor saving in open-field cultivation in Jeju island.

  • The analysis of Jerusalem artichoke showed that it contains 12.09% of Inulin. The results obtained from the examination of the conditions for fructose production by cultivating Pencillum sp 1 in the Jerusalem articoke medium were as follows: 1. The optimum amount of water added to Jerusalem artichoke was 2.5 $\ell$ of distilled water per ㎏ of fresh Jerusalem artichoke. It this case, the concentration of Inulin was 4% (w/v). 2. The optimum temperature was $30^{\circ}C$, the initial optimum pH was 5.0 and the optimum cultural period was 72 hours. 3. Shaking culture with 50 ml of the medium and 120 oscills/min in 500 ml shaking flask was most effective as the culture method. 4. 0.1% of $NH_4H_2PO_4$ as a nitrogen source, 0.001 of $FeSO_47H_20$ and 0.001% of $MgSO_47H_2$ as metal salts were most effective. 5. Fructose production continued to increase for 72 hours under the optimum conditions for cultivation and the highest production rate to the Inulin was 95.25%.

  • This study evaluated the qualitative properties of Buchimgaru supplemented with JAP (Jerusalem Artichoke Powder). In Buchimgaru, JAP and wheat flour were mixed in ratios of 1:9 (10% JAP), 2:8 (20% JAP), and 3:7 (30% JAP). The values for texture profiles (hardness, chewiness, springiness, and cohesiveness) decreased when JAP was added to Buchimgae formulations. The fructan contents of Buchimgaru supplemented with 0, 10, 20, and 30% JAP were 1.52, 6.39, 10.50, and 13.71%, respectively. The total polyphenol content of Buchimgaru supplemented with JAP was significantly higher than Buchimgaru without JAP. The 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity of Buchimgaru supplemented with 30% JAP was approximately 11 times greater than Buchimgaru without JAP. In the sensory evaluation (color, flavor, overall preference), Buchimgae supplemented with JAP showed higher sensory values than Buchimgae without JAP.

  • This study was carried to select artichoke (Cynara scolymus L.) varieties that can be cultivated in non-heated greenhouse during winter in Jeju Island in Korea. Artichoke varieties namely, 'Purple Romagna' (Neseed Co.), 'Imperial Star' (Keithley Williams Seed Co.), 'Green Globe' (Park Seed Co.), 'Emerald' (Ferry-morse Seed Co.), 'Italian' (Unknown), and 'Carciofo Di Romagna' (Lortolano), were raised in a plug tray with 72 cells for two months and transplanted in a non-heated greenhouse on October 5, 2004. The first harvesting of 'Emerald' and 'Imperial Star' were the earliest and April 26 and 27, 2005 respectively. Most of the varieties were harvested from early May to June 2005. The number of head per plant was the highest in 'Green Globe' with more than five heads and the lowest were recorded in 'Italian' with one head or less. The weight of heads per plant was more than 228 g in 'Purple Romagna', 'Imperial Star' and 'Green Globe'. The highest yield was in 'Green Globe' with 2,172 kg/10a, followed by 'Imperial Star' with 1,947 kg/10a. Accordingly, it is considered that 'Green Globe' and 'Imperial Star' are adequate for the high-yield cultivation in non-heated greenhouse in Jeju Island. They can be harvested from the April to June when cultivated from the early October of the previous year.
