Possibly. I was more focused on discovering pressure cooking techniques to reduce the flatulance. I've learned a lot as a result of this research.– Chef_named_sousOct 17, 2019 at 14:19

As far as I can tell, cooking jerusalem artichokes in a pressure cooker won't help much if the cooking liquid is not acidic.
Inulin's chemical stability will decrease by heating in an acidic environment where pH <= 4. Simply cooking the jerusalem artichokes in an acidic liquid will help reducing the flatulence caused by inulin.
