YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 14, ARMENPRESS: The first Armenian company in the
South Caucasus, involved in the mass processing of the earth apple,
completed the harvesting and intends to start the network sale
works. The Director of the CJSC "Agro Corporation" Vahan Shirkhanyan
stated about it in the talk with Armenpress. "We are going to add
another 40 hectares and to make the crop lands not less than 1000
hectares in autumn", - said the Director. Vahan Shirkhanyan informed
that in 2015 the lands are intended to make 3000 hectares and start
the reprocessing of the earth apple.
Shirkhanyan noted that the harvest of the earth apple is carried out
twice a year, during which about 100 working places are created.
The earth apple will appear in the markets in 15-20 days.
The Government of the Republic of Armenia is engaged in the activity
aiming to find investments for the realization of the program of the
Armenian-Chinese enterprise of inulin production.
The Head of the Industrial Policy Department of the Ministry of
Economy of the Republic of Armenia Armen Yeganyan stated this earlier
in a conversation with Armenpress. "The Government of the Republic
of Armenia provided resources. We have published the invitation
in an international periodical to find investors," the Head of the
Department underscored. The preliminary total price of the program
is USD 33 million.
Among other things the Head of the Industrial Policy Department of
the Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Armenia Armen Yeganyan
emphasized that the Chinese side took the obligation to make an
investment of 5 percent, to provide the relevant technology, and
conduct the installation works. In addition Armen Yeganyan noted
that there is a company from the Armenian side, which is willing to
provide acreage for the cultivation of earth apple.
Inulins are a group of naturally occurring polysaccharides produced
by many types of plants, industrially most often extracted from
chicory. The inulins belong to a class of dietary fibers known
as fructans. Inulin is used by some plants as a means of storing
energy and is typically found in roots or rhizomes. Most plants that
synthesize and store inulin do not store other forms of carbohydrate
such as starch.
Inulin is increasingly used in processed foods because it has unusually
adaptable characteristics. Its flavor ranges from bland to subtly sweet
(approx. 10% sweetness of sugar/sucrose). It can be used to replace
sugar, fat, and flour. This is advantageous because inulin contains
25-35% of the food energy of carbohydrates (starch, sugar).
Non-hydrolyzed inulin can also be directly converted to ethanol in
a simultaneous saccharification and fermentation process, which may
have great potential for converting crops high in inulin into ethanol
for fuel.
Inulin and its analog sinistrin are used to help measure kidney
function by determining the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). GFR
is the volume of fluid filtered from the renal (kidney) glomerular
capillaries into the Bowman's capsule per unit time. Inulin is of
particular use as it is not secreted or reabsorbed in any appreciable
amount at the nephron, allowing GFR to be calculated. However, due to
clinical limitations, inulin and sinistrin, although characterized
by better handling features, are rarely used for this purpose and
creatinine values are the standard for determining an approximate
GFR. It is also used for rehydration and remineralization following
important loss of water, like diarrhea and diaphoresis. Inulin can
also be used as a vaccine adjuvant.
