Okra polysaccharides are biocompatible polymers with antimicrobial, anticancer, hypoglycemic, and antioxidant characteristics and hence are used in different fields such as drug delivery, food industry, and wastewater treatment. Consequently, okra-polymer modification by different methods, such as grafting, to satisfy industrial demands is attracting much scientific attention. Although a large body of literature is available on the extraction of okra polysaccharides and their applications, little is known about their grafting modification. While crosslinking and binary grafting can help in the realization of the desired properties, these methods have not been widely used on okra polysaccharides. In this review, we highlight the different methods used for the extraction of okra polysaccharides and systematically summarize major findings on their grafting modification and applications in different industries. This information will help in designing experimental protocols for the modification of okra polysaccharides to suit future needs.
秋葵多糖是一种具有生物相容性的聚合物，具有抗菌、抗癌、降血糖和抗氧化特性，因此被应用于药物输送、食品工业和废水处理等不同领域。因此，通过不同的方法（如接枝）对秋葵聚合物进行改性以满足工业需求引起了广泛的关注。尽管有大量关于秋葵多糖的提取及其应用的文献，但关于其接枝改性的研究却很少。虽然交联和二元接枝有助于实现所需的性能，但这些方法尚未广泛应用于秋葵多糖。在本文中，我们重点介绍了提取秋葵多糖的不同方法，并系统地总结了其接枝改性及其在不同行业中的应用的主要研究成果。这些信息将有助于设计适合未来需求的秋葵多糖改性实验方案。
