Carboxymethyl derivatives (CM-derivatives) of α,β-mannans from yeasts, Saccharomyces cerevisiae β-glucan and dextran (α-glucan) were found to possess strong antioxidant activities against reactive hydroxyl radicals (OH*) compared to underivatized polysaccharides. When CM-derivatives having similar DS (0.41-0.45) were compared, the antioxidant activity decreased in order CM-mannan>CM-β-glucan>CM-dextran. Moreover, the antioxidant activities against OH* increased with increasing degree of substitution (DS) of polysaccharides. The CM-mannan and CM-dextran with the highest DS (0.73 and 1.1, respectively) were the strongest antioxidants and their degradation by OH* decreased with increased carboxymethylation. The scavenging abilities of CM-polysaccharides against stable DPPH radical (DPPH) were lower than those of original underivatized ones. Also this scavenging property against DPPH was lower compared to antioxidant effect against OH*.
酵母α,β-甘露聚糖、酿酒酵母β-葡聚糖和葡聚糖(α-葡聚糖)的羧甲基衍生物(CM-衍生物)被发现具有比未衍生多糖更强的抗活性羟基自由基(OH*)的抗氧化活性。当比较具有相似取代度(DS)(0.41-0.45)的 CM-衍生物时,抗氧化活性按 CM-甘露聚糖>CM-β-葡聚糖>CM-葡聚糖的顺序降低。此外,多糖的取代度(DS)越高,对 OH的抗氧化活性越高。取代度最高的 CM-甘露聚糖和 CM-葡聚糖(分别为 0.73 和 1.1)是最强的抗氧化剂,它们对 OH的降解随羧甲基化的增加而减少。CM-多糖对稳定的 DPPH 自由基(DPPH)的清除能力低于未衍生的原始多糖。此外,与 OH*的抗氧化作用相比,其对 DPPH 的清除能力较低。
