is a functional food with multiple bioactivities. It presents differentiated health benefits due to origins. Polysaccharides (APS) are the leading bioactive macromolecules of , which are highly related to its health benefits. However, the effect of origin on the structural characteristics of APSs remains unclear. In this work, polysaccharides from four origins were isolated and identified by NMR. The results showed APSs of four origins had identical monosaccharide composition and glycosidic linkage. Rhamnogalacturonan II pectins and α-(1→4)-glucan were the dominant polysaccharides. However, the level of methyl ester in pectins varied to a large extent. The molecular weight profiles of APSs were also different. Inner Mongolia APS had the largest percentage of 20-40 kDa polysaccharides. Molecular weight and methyl ester level were two important parameters determining the difference of APSs from four origins. These results were helpful to recognize the origin-related quality of .
是一种具有多种生物活性的功能性食品。因其来源不同而呈现出不同的健康益处。多糖(APS)是其主要的生物活性大分子,与它的健康益处高度相关。然而,来源对APS结构特征的影响仍不清楚。在这项工作中,通过核磁共振分离并鉴定了来自四个来源的多糖。结果表明,四个来源的APS具有相同的单糖组成和糖苷键。鼠李半乳糖醛酸聚糖II果胶和α-(1→4)-葡聚糖是主要的多糖。然而,果胶中甲酯的含量差异很大。APS的分子量分布也不同。内蒙古APS中20-40 kDa多糖的比例最大。分子量和甲酯含量是决定四个来源的APS差异的两个重要参数。这些结果有助于认识其与来源相关的品质。
