Different types of search tools such as Google scholar, Google, scientific literature, normative documentation of Russian Federation (State Pharmacopoeia of Russian Federation IV edition and others) electronic databases such as e-Library, Scopus, Web of Science, Pubmed had been searched and data obtained. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Characterization of polyfructans Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) (oligofructose)-a mixture of oligomers, which contain from 1 to 7 moieties of D-fructose, and as a rule, terminal D-glucose. FOS is obtained in two ways: by splitting inulin and by enzymatic transfer of fructose to sucrose (transfructosylation). Oligofructose, like inulin, belongs to water-soluble dietary fiber and is prebiotic, and a mixture of these compounds, which is also often called fructooligosaccharides, has more effective prebiotic properties. Polyfructans (fructosans, Pfrus) are carbohydrate polymers formed by a sucrose molecule, an extended chain of fructose moieties. In nature, Pfrus are found in bacteria, fungi, and plants in which they perform various ABSTRACT Background: Today, there are some unresolved issues and discussions concerning inulin quantitative determination in medicinal plant raw materials (MPRM). MPRM containing polyfructans or fructosans (inulin and others) are rather complex multicomponent matrixes with many interacting compounds. The article discusses the prospects for further standardization of inulin-containing pharmacopoeial MPRM that include, in addition to polysaccharides (inulin), other biologically active compounds with pharmacological activity. Materials and Methods: Different types of search tools such as Google scholar, Google, scientific literature, normative documentation of Russian Federation (State Pharmacopoeia of Russian Federation IV edition and others) electronic databases such as e-Library, Scopus, Web of Science, Pubmed had been searched and data obtained. Results: The pharmacopoeial spectrophotometric procedures of inulin determination in the Russian Federation are approved in a version that does not fully satisfy modern standardization criteria. Regulatory changes required in the near future. Conclusion: Undoubtedly, to determine inulin quantitatively, it is necessary to modify the existing spectrophotometric procedures and introduce an additional alternative, more specific HPLC-RID (or similar) ones.

This literature review is devoted to the tuberous yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius), a perennial plant of the family Asteraceae, which is widely used in traditional medicine. Yacon tubers are characterized by a sufficiently high content of inulin for industrial production. The data provided in the review show that Smallanthus sonchifolius has a proven prebiotic effect due to its high content of fructooligosaccharides as well as other chemical compounds and has great potential as a prebiotic. In addition to the prebiotic effect, yacon has a wide range of pharmacological effects, including antidiabetic, hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, immunostimulatory, antioxidant, antidepressant, hepatoprotective, spermatogenic, antibacterial, antifungal, antiparasitic, analgesic. Infusions made from yacon leaves can be not only effective agents against hyperglycemia, but also a relatively rich source of polyphenolic antioxidants. Yacon has potential as a plant supplement to treat male infertility and normalize low testosterone levels, such as in LOH-syndrome. The diversity of pharmacological action of yacon is due to the content of different groups of biologically active substances described in the review. The underground organs, leaves, and flowers of yacon contain various chemical compounds, including phenolic acids, sesquiterpene lactones, fructooligosaccharides of inulin type β (2→1), tannins, flavonoids, saponins, and anthracene derivatives.
