Acid-Catalyzed Water Extraction of Two Polysaccharides from Artemisia argyi and Their Physicochemical Properties and Antioxidant Activities.

ABSTRACT: In this study, two purified polysaccharide fractions, Artp1 and Artp2, were obtained using acid-catalyzed water extraction, and then purified by DEAE-52 cellulose and Sephadex G-200 column chromatography from the crude polysaccharides of Artemisia argyi. Their physicochemical properties were investigated by gel permeation chromatography (GPC), high-performance anion exchange chromatography (HPAEC), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), thermal analysis, and methylation analysis. The average molecular weight (Mw) of Artp1 and Artp2 were estimated to be 42.17 kDa and 175.22 kDa, respectively. Monosaccharide composition analysis revealed that the Rha, Gal, and GalA occupied main proportion in Artp1 with the molar ratio of 25.1:24.7:40.4, while the Rha, Gal, Xly, and GalA occupied the main proportion in Artp2 with the molar ratio of 16.7:13.5:12.8:38.7. Due to the high yield and the relatively high carbohydrate content, the Artp1 was determined by the methylation analysis and NMR. The results of Artp1 indicated that 1,4-GalpA and 1,2,4-Rhap formed the backbone with some 1,2-Rhap, 1,3-Galp, and 1,6-Galp in the backbone or the side chains. Artp1 and Artp2 exhibited effective antioxidant activities by DPPH radical scavenging assay and hydroxyl radical scavenging assay in a dose-dependent manner. These investigations of the polysaccharides from A. argyi. provide a scientific basis for the uses of Artp1 and Artp2 as ingredients in functional foods and medicines.

Extraction condition optimization and effects of drying methods on physicochemical properties and antioxidant activities of polysaccharides from Astragalus cicer L.

Project description:Response surface methodology (RSM) including three variables was performed to optimize the extraction parameters of Astragalus cicer L. polysaccharides (ACPs). The influence of different drying techniques on the physicochemical properties and antioxidant abilities of ACPs were evaluated. The ACPs were dried with hot air (HD), vacuum (VD) and freeze drying (FD) methods. The optimal conditions for ACPs extraction were as follows: water to raw material ratio of 25 mL/g, extraction time of 61 min and temperature of 75 °C. Under these parameters, an ACPs yield of 10.97% was obtained. HPLC analysis showed that the monosaccharide compositions of the three ACPs dried with HD, VD or FD techniques were identical. The three ACPs exhibited antioxidant abilities in a concentration-dependent manner. ACPs dried with the FD method (FD-ACPs) had the best antioxidant activities, which might be related to their smaller molecular weight and higher uronic acid content. At the determined concentration of 1 mg/mL, the ferric reducing power, and DPPH and ABTS free radical scavenging capacities of FD-ACPs were 0.762, 75.30% and 99.21%, respectively. Therefore, FD was a good choice for the drying of Astragalus cicer L. polysaccharides.

Effect of different drying methods on the physicochemical properties and antioxidant activities of mulberry leaves polysaccharides.

Project description:This study aimed to optimize the suitable drying method to obtain high yield of polysaccharides from mulberry leaves and to determine their structural characterization and antioxidant activities. The effects of three different drying methods such as air dried, hot air dried (55?°C, 65?°C & 75?°C) and freeze dried on the physicochemical and antioxidant properties of mulberry leaves polysaccharides were studied using gas chromatography, high performance gel permeation chromatography, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron micrography and antioxidant assays. Results revealed that pre-treatment remarkably influenced the changes in their physicochemical and antioxidant properties. In comparison with the other drying techniques, freeze dried polysaccharides showed more rough morphologies and significant antioxidant property. The yield of polysaccharides from the freeze dried sample was about 28.88% higher than the yield of hot air dried sample. The MDA activity of freeze dried sample was about 95.45%. Overall, the results suggested that the freeze drying technique was the appropriate method to extract polysaccharides from mulberry leaves that offered significant biological properties.

Effect of drying procedures on the physicochemical properties and antioxidant activities of polysaccharides from Crassostrea gigas.

Project description:Crassostrea gigas polysaccharides (CGP) were obtained by different drying methods: freeze-drying (FD), spray-drying (SD) or rotary evaporation-drying (RED). The physicochemical properties of CGP were evaluated on the basis of polysaccharide content, protein content, color characteristics, FT-IR spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Antioxidant activities were researched three different free radicals, including DPPH free radicals, ABTS free radicals and reducing power. The results demonstrated that FDCGP, SDCGP and REDCGP have different physicochemical properties and antioxidant activities. Contrasted with FDCGP and REDCGP, SDCGP exhibited stronger antioxidant abilities. Therefore, considering the polysaccharides appearances and antioxidant activities, the spray drying method is a decent selection for the preparation of such polysaccharides, and it should be selected for application in the food industry.

Purification, Physicochemical Properties, and Antioxidant Activities of Two Low-Molecular-Weight Polysaccharides from Ganoderma leucocontextum Fruiting Bodies.

Project description:Two low-molecular-weight polysaccharides (GLP-1 and GLP-2) were purified from Ganoderma leucocontextum fruiting bodies, and their physicochemical properties and antioxidant activities were investigated and compared in this study. The results showed that GLP-1 and GLP-2 were mainly composed of mannose, glucose, galactose, xylose, and arabinose, with weight-average molecular weights of 6.31 and 14.07 kDa, respectively. Additionally, GLP-1 and GLP-2 had a similar chain conformation, crystal structure, and molecular surface morphology. Moreover, GLP-1 exhibited stronger antioxidant activities than GLP-2 in five different assays: 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), hydroxyl radical, superoxide anion radical, ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), and oxygen radical antioxidant capacity (ORAC). The main linkage types of GLP-1 were found to be →4)-α-D-Glcp-(1→, →4)-β-D-Glcp-(1→, →3)-β-D-Glcp-(1→, →6)-β-D-Galp-(1→, →6)-α-D-Glcp-(1→, →4,6)-α-D-Glcp-(1→, and Glcp-(1→ by methylation analysis and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. In addition, GLP-1 could protect NIH3T3 cells against tert-butyl hydroperoxide (tBHP)-induced oxidative damage by increasing catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities, elevating the glutathione/oxidized glutathione (GSH/GSSG) ratio, and decreasing the malondialdehyde (MDA) level. These findings indicated that GLP-1 could be explored as a potential antioxidant agent for application in functional foods.

Valorization of Polysaccharides Obtained from Dark Tea: Preparation, Physicochemical, Antioxidant, and Hypoglycemic Properties.

Project description:The structure and hypoglycemic activity of tea polysaccharides has been extensively studied, while there are few reports on the characterization and hypoglycemic activity of dark tea polysaccharides. The crude dark tea polysaccharide (CDTPS) was optimally extracted from Fuzhuan dark tea. Six polysaccharide fractions (namely DTPS-1, DTPS-2, DTPS-3, DTPS-4, DTPS-5, and DTPS-6) were isolated from CDTPS, and their physicochemical, structural, and biological properties were compared and analyzed. The results revealed that the compositions, structural characteristics, and biological properties of the six DTPSs were different. Therein, DTPS-4 and DTPS-6 had looser morphology, faster solubility, and a more stable structure. Additionally, DTPS-4 had the optimum in vitro antioxidant capabilities, and DTPS-6 had the strongest in vitro hypoglycemic capabilities. In addition, a correlation analysis revealed that the molecular weight and uronic acid content were significantly related to their antioxidant and hypoglycemic activities. Our results indicated that DTPS-4 and DTPS-6 could be further developed into functional foods or additives, respectively.

Extraction, Characterization, Antioxidant, and Immunostimulatory Activities of Polysaccharides from <i>Hedyotis corymbosa</i>.

Project description:In this study, optimization of enzyme-assisted extraction, purification, characterization, and its bioactivities of polysaccharides from Hedyotis corymbosa (HCP) was investigated. It was found that the optimum extraction conditions were 3% of enzyme concentration (X 1 ), 30 of liquid-to-solid ratio (X 2 ), 56°C of extraction temperature (X 3 ), 200W of ultrasonic power (X 4 ), 10 min of extraction time (X 5 ), and 5 of pH value (X 6 ). Under optimum conditions, the experimental yield (4.10 ± 0.16%) was closed to the predicted value (4.02%). The crude HCP was further purified using DEAE-52 and Sephadex G-150 gel column, and a major polysaccharide fraction from HCP, designed as HCP-1a with molecular weight of 33.9 kDa, was obtained. The HCP and HCP-1a were characterized by chemical analysis, FT-IR, and HPLC. For antioxidant activities in vitro, HCP possessed strong hydroxyl radical scavenging, DPPH radical scavenging, and Fe2+ chelating activities. In subsequent immunostimulatory studies, significantly decreased NO, IL-1?, and TNF-? concentrations were observed in both of HCP and HCP-1a treated RAW264.7 cells. Therefore, this study may indicate some insights into the application of polysaccharides from Hedyotis corymbosa as potential natural antioxidants and immunostimulants.

Polysaccharides in Selenium-Enriched Tea: Extraction Performance under Innovative Technologies and Antioxidant Activities.

Project description:Pulsed electric fields (PEF) and ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UE) were applied to improve the extraction performance of selenium-enriched tea polysaccharides (Se-TPSs) in mild conditions. Two combined extraction processes were investigated: (1) PEF strength at 10 kV/cm followed by conventional extraction (CE) at 50 °C for 60 min and (2) PEF+UE (PEF strength at 10 kV/cm followed by UE at 400 W for 60 min). The optimal extraction yields, and energy consumption rates were obtained at 36.86% and 41.53% and 78.78 kJ/mg and 133.91 kJ/mg, respectively. The Se-TPSs were analyzed and characterized by GPC, UV, and FT-IR, which evidenced the structural stability of the Se-TPSs during the extraction processes. It was found that PEF and UE could reduce the particle size diameter of the Se-TPS extract, as well as the proportion of uronic acid. Moreover, PEF could increase the selenium content in the Se-TPS extract by 160.14% due to a lower extraction temperature compared to conventional extraction. The antioxidant activities of the Se-TPSs in vitro were investigated using OH, O2-, and ABTS+ scavenging experiments, as well as a total antioxidant ability evaluation. It was found that the antioxidant activity of the Se-TPSs obtained using PEF2+CE2 was relatively high due to the potential synergistic effect between the selenium and polysaccharides. Based on these results, we speculate that PEF2+CE2 was the best extraction process for the Se-TPSs. Furthermore, this research indicates the application of selenium-enriched tea for functional food production.

Ultrasonic-Assisted Extraction of Raspberry Seed Oil and Evaluation of Its Physicochemical Properties, Fatty Acid Compositions and Antioxidant Activities.

Project description:Ultrasonic-assisted extraction was employed for highly efficient separation of aroma oil from raspberry seeds. A central composite design with two variables and five levels was employed and effects of process variables of sonication time and extraction temperature on oil recovery and quality were investigated. Optimal conditions predicted by response surface methodology were sonication time of 37 min and extraction temperature of 54°C. Specifically, ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE) was able to provide a higher content of beneficial unsaturated fatty acids, whereas conventional Soxhlet extraction (SE) resulted in a higher amount of saturated fatty acids. Moreover, raspberry seed oil contained abundant amounts of edible linoleic acid and linolenic acid, which suggest raspberry seeds could be valuable edible sources of natural γ-linolenic acid products. In comparison with SE, UAE exerted higher free radical scavenging capacities. In addition, UAE significantly blocked H2O2-induced intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation.

Extraction optimization, physicochemical characterization, and antioxidant activity of polysaccharides from <i>Rhodosorus</i> sp. SCSIO-45730.

Project description:Microalgal polysaccharides have been reported in many studies due to their uniqueness, biocompatibility, and high value, and Rhodosorus sp. SCSIO-45730 was an excellent source of polysaccharides and β-glucans. However, the polysaccharides from the red unicellular alga Rhodosorus sp. SCSIO-45730 have barely been studied. In this work, hot water extraction of Rhodosorus sp. SCSIO-45730 polysaccharides (RSP) was optimized using response surface methodology (RSM) based on Box-Behnken design (BBD). The maximum RSP yield (9.29%) was achieved under the optimum extraction conditions: liquid-solid ratio of 50.00 mL g-1; extraction temperature of 84 °C; extraction time of 2 h; and extraction times of 5 times. The results of physicochemical characterization showed that RSP had high sulfate and uronic acid with content of 19.58% and 11.57%, respectively, rough layered structure, and mainly contained glucose, galactose, xylose, and galacturonic acid with mass percentages of 34.08%, 28.70%, 12.46%, and 12.10%. Furthermore, four kinds of antioxidant assays were carried out, and the results indicated that RSP had strong scavenging activities on ABTS and hydroxyl radical and moderate scavenging activities on DPPH and ferrous chelating ability. These results indicated that RSP showed potential as a promising source of antioxidants applied in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics industry.Supplementary informationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s10811-021-02646-2.
