Abstract:

The yacon fructo-oligosaccharides(FOS) was separated and purified by the nanometer membrane from yacon. A quadratic mathematical model for predioting the concentration of oligosaccharides was developed to optimize the purification process by Box-Behnken central composite design(CCD) and response surface methodology(RSM). Consequently, the optimized processing parameters were determined as operating pressure 0.15 MPa, circulation flow rate 5.3 mL/min, pH value 2.7, purification fold 5, the purity of the obtained FOS was 95.1%, which could reach P grade standard. HPLC-MS, IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR were used to characterize the purity, composition and structure of FOS. The results showed that the purified FOS was composed of kestose, nystose and bestonentaose. The purity was 95.1% and it contained on average of 5 fructose units. The yacon FOS was mainly composed of β-furan-fructose tested by IR.

Key words: yacon, FOS, nanofiltration, separation and purification, structure characterization
