A novel acidic heteropolysaccharide (TAPA1) was purified from hot water extracts of Tremella aurantialba fruiting bodies by DEAE-Sepharose Fast Flow and Sephacryl S-500 High-Resolution Chromatography. The heteropolysaccharide had a molecular weight of ca. 1.35x10(6)Da, and a carbohydrate content estimated to be approximately 98.7% by the phenol-sulfuric acid method. It was composed mainly of d-mannose, d-xylose, and d-glucuronic acid in the ratio of ca. 5:4:1, along with trace amounts of d-galacturonic acid and d-glucose. Monosaccharide compositional analysis and GC-MS of methylated derivatives, combined with (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopies (including COSY, TOCSY, NOESY, HSQC, and HMBC spectra), revealed TAPA1 to consist of an alpha-(1-->3)-linked mannopyranosyl backbone, partially substituted at position 4 with xylose side chains, and at position 2 with side chains composed of either xylose, mannose, and glucuronic acid or of xylose and mannose. Bioactivity testing showed that TAPA1 stimulated the proliferation of mouse spleen lymphocytes in vitro.

To minimize waste and maximize the utilization of wild Rosa roxburghii Tratt fruits, the quality characteristics of soluble dietary fiber (SDF) extracted from wild Rosa roxburghii Tratt fruits sourced from ten regions were assessed in this study through an in-depth analysis. This analysis included the evaluation of chemical composition, physicochemical properties, structural elucidation, antioxidant capacity, and functional properties in yogurt applications. Communally, these SDFs are acidic heteropolysaccharides mainly composed of glucose, galacturonic acid, galactose, arabinose, and rhamnose, and all of them showed the infrared spectrum and high molecular weight (Mw) characteristics of polysaccharides.

Coriander () is a classical medicinal and edible herb as well as a spice, but the physicochemical and biological properties of its polysaccharides have not been fully studied. In this study, the polysaccharides were extracted using an ultrasonic-assisted method and purified from fresh coriander, and then the coriander polysaccharide (CSP) fraction was separated using an agarose gel Q-Sepharose Fast Flow column. The total sugar content, protein content and monosaccharides composition of CSPs were determined using a phenol-sulfuric acid method, Coomassie Brilliant Blue method and HPLC.

Pectin has multiple functions and is widely used in the food industry. It is an acidic heteropolysaccharide found in most plants, mainly consisting of two regions: homogalacturonan (HG) and rhamnogalacturonan-I (RG-I). HG and RG-I rich pectin have unique structures and functional properties, which can be obtained through specific preparation methods.

The hydrolysis of structural extracellular polymeric substances (St-EPS) is considered a major limiting step in the anaerobic fermentation of waste activated sludge (WAS). However, the degradation of heteropolysaccharides, characterized by complex monomers of uronic acids and neutral saccharides in St-EPS, has rarely been reported. In this study, microbial-produced xanthan-like heteropolysaccharides, characterized by a blue filamentary film, were identified.

Introduction: Cistanche deserticola Ma (CD), an edible and medicinal plant native to Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, and Gansu in China, is rich in bioactive polysaccharides known for their health-promoting properties. The polysaccharides of C. deserticola (CDPs) have been shown to possess a range of beneficial activities, including immunomodulatory, anti-aging, antioxidant, and anti-osteoporosis effects.
