Four polysaccharides (named as P1, P2, and P3 from three natural and P4 from cultured ) were obtained by hot-water extraction and ethanol precipitation and their structural characteristics as well as antioxidant potentials were compared. Results revealed that the backbone of P1, P2, and P3 comprised α-1,4-glucose, with a branching point mainly at position 6 and terminating at glucose. On the other hand, the structure of P4 was highly complex, mainly comprising glucose, galactose, and mannose, with 1,4-glucose and 1,4-galactose as the main chain. For antioxidant assays, all the four polysaccharides showed similar scavenging capacity against DPPH and hydroxyl radicals, whereas P1 had a relatively low ferric reducing ability, possibly related to a combination of factors such as the phenolic compounds and amino acids that conjugated in polysaccharides.
通过热水提取和乙醇沉淀获得了四种多糖(三种天然多糖分别命名为P1、P2和P3,一种培养多糖命名为P4),并比较了它们的结构特征和抗氧化潜力。结果表明,P1、P2和P3的主链由α-1,4-葡萄糖组成,分支点主要在6位,末端为葡萄糖。另一方面,P4的结构高度复杂,主要由葡萄糖、半乳糖和甘露糖组成,以1,4-葡萄糖和1,4-半乳糖为主链。在抗氧化试验中,所有四种多糖对DPPH和羟基自由基均表现出相似的清除能力,而P1的铁还原能力相对较低,这可能与多糖中结合的酚类化合物和氨基酸等多种因素有关。
