Chemical modification and antioxidant activity of Wendan peel polysaccharide.

Wendan peel polysaccharide (PP) was modified using different chemical methods. The acetylation modification of PP using acetic anhydride method resulted in a degree of substitution of 0.42 for acetylated Wendan peel polysaccharide (Ac-PP).

Preparation for shaddock skin polysaccharide derivatives by response surface method.

The derivation of polysaccharide has an important impact on its properties. The preparation process of phosphorylated-shaddock skin polysaccharides (SSP) and acetylated-SSP was optimized by the response surface method. The constructed model was accurate and reliable in predicting the substitution of acetylated-SSP and the phosphate content of phosphorylated-SSP.

Preparation, analysis and properties of shaddock ped polysaccharide and its derivatives.

The shaddock ped polysaccharide (SPP) was extracted by ultrasound-assisted enzyme method. Phosphorylated shaddock ped polysaccharides (P-SPP) and acetylated shaddock ped polysaccharides (Ac-SPP) were obtained by chemical modification of SPP. The characterization methods such as infrared spectroscopy and nuclear magnetism were employed to characterize the structures of the two derivatives.

Ultrasound-assisted enzyme extraction and properties of Shatian pomelo peel polysaccharide.

In this study, Shatian pomelo peel was used as the raw material for extracting polysaccharides using hot water extraction (HW) and ultrasonic-assisted enzyme (UVE) methods, respectively. The optimal parameters for extractingShatian pomelo peel polysaccharides (StPP) using the ultrasound-assisted enzymatic method were determined using response surface methodology (RSM). The optimal conditions for the extraction of StPP were as follows: ultrasound power 350 W, ultrasound time 50 min, enzymatic digestion time 50 min, compound enzyme addition 1.

Preparation of Acetylated Grapefruit Peel Polysaccharide.

Grapefruit peel polysaccharide has antioxidant, antitumor, hypoglycemic and other biological activities, and chemical modification can further improve the properties of the polysaccharide. Acetylation modification of polysaccharides has the advantages of simple operation, low cost and little pollution, and is widely used at present. Different degrees of acetylation modification have different effects on the properties of polysaccharides, so it is necessary to optimize the preparation technology of acetylated grapefruit peel polysaccharides.

An important polysaccharide from fermentum.

Fermentum is a common unicellular fungus with many biological activities attributed to β-polysaccharides. Different in vivo and in vivo experimental studies have long proven that fermentum β-polysaccharides have antioxidant, anti-tumor, and fungal toxin adsorption properties. However, there are many uncertainties regarding the relationship between the structure and biological activity of fermentum β-polysaccharides, and a systematic summary of fermentum β-polysaccharides is still lacking.

Extraction, isolation, purification, derivatization, bioactivity, structure-activity relationship, and application of polysaccharides from White jellyfungus.

White jellyfungus is one of the most popular nutritional supplements. The polysaccharide (WJP) is an important active component of White jellyfungus, it not only has a variety of biological activities but also is nontoxic to humans. So, many scholars have carried out different research on WJP.
