This paper presents the results of the performed research for achieving of hypoglucidic concentrated products from Jerusalem artichoke tubers and apples, with antioxidant potential for nutrition of peoples with diabetes. The achieved products were sensory, physic-chemical and microbiologically analysed. The hypoglucidic concentrated products are characterized by their inulin-type fructans (6.95% - White variety; 7.85% – Red variety), vitamin C content (22.65 mg/100g - White variety and 23.70 mg/100g - Red variety), 105.75...165.23 mg GAE/100 g, potassium (297.45 mg/100 g – White variety; 305.10 mg/100 g - Red variety) and phosphorus content (41.54 mg/100 g – White variety; 43.26 mg/100 g - Red variety).
