Polysaccharides extracted from Phyllostachys edulis (Carr.) are a group of hetero polysaccharides, and their antioxidant activities were investigated employing various established in vitro systems. Available data obtained with in vitro models suggested that among the three samples, B1 (extraction with water) showed significant inhibitory effects on superoxide radical and hydroxyl radical; its reducing power was also the strongest among the three samples. These results clearly establish the possibility that polysaccharides extracted from P. edulis could be effectively employed as ingredient in health or functional food, to alleviate oxidative stress. However, comprehensive studies need to be conducted in experimental animal models.
从慈竹中提取的多糖是一组杂多糖，采用各种已建立的体外系统研究了其抗氧化活性。体外模型获得的现有数据表明，在这三种样品中，B1（用水提取）对超氧自由基和羟自由基表现出显著的抑制作用；其还原能力在三种样品中也是最强的。这些结果清楚地表明，慈竹中提取的多糖有可能作为健康或功能性食品的成分，有效缓解氧化应激。然而，需要在实验动物模型中进行全面的研究。
