Radiochemical transformations of inulin in aqueous solutions, in air, in the presence of inert gases, helium, nitrogen, and in nitrous oxide exposed to various doses of 60Co gamma irradiation were investigated. It was shown that interactions of inulin with OH radicals are principally responsible for radiolytic decomposition of inulin. The data on radiolysis of more simple model systems were used to make available decomposition of absorption spectra of gamma-irradiated aerated aqueous solution of inulin.

Ionizing radiation-induced injury often occurs in nuclear accidents or large-dose radiotherapy, leading to acute radiation syndromes characterized by hematopoietic and gastrointestinal injuries even to death. However, current radioprotective drugs are only used in hospitals with unavoidable side effects. Here, we heated the aqueous solution of inulin, a polysaccharide dietary fiber, forming colon-retentive gel as a radiation protector in radiotherapy.

The effect of acidification through hydrochloric acid combined with inulin (In), and inulin/sodium alginate (In/SA) on the stability of native/thermally denatured myofibrillar proteins (MPs/TMPs) particles in an aqueous system was investigated. At the same pH, MPs-In and TMPs-In particles were smaller and had higher absolute potentials than MPs-In/SA and TMPs-In/SA particles. Additionally, the size of MPs-In particles reached 1 μm, and the solubility increased from 21.

Over the past decades, increasing interests took place in the realm of drug delivery systems. Beyond treating intestinal diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, colon targeting can provide possible applications for oral administration of proteins as well as vaccines due to the lower enzymatic activity in the distal part of GIT. To date, many strategies are employed to reach the colon.

The objective of this study was to assess the impact of inulin and pectin, wherein pectin replaced inulin with weight ranging from 2% to 8%, as wall materials on various aspects: bioactive component content, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, bioavailability, powder recovery during the drying process, and selected physical characteristics of powders derived from aqueous extracts obtained through spray drying. Powders containing a soluble fraction of fiber demonstrated a recovery efficiency of over 50% during drying, along with low moisture content, water activity, and hygroscopicity, coupled with high solubility. The incorporation of pectin up to 8% did not significantly alter the color profile of the powders.
