The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of Jerusalem artichoke tubers in genotypes grown on sandy soils in Southern Oltenia. The area of sandy soils in southern Oltenia offers favorable conditions for the growth and development of Jerusalem artichoke plants. The average productions obtained for this species in the pedoclimatic conditions from SCDCPN Dăbuleni showed the resistance of the species to the high temperatures in this area. Inulin was present in tubers in a percentage of 12.08 % in the local population of Dăbuleni and 13.39 % in the Dacic variety, with an average of 12.93 % which confirms the functional potential of the species and recommends the species as a "source of fiberâ€.
