Abstract

A novel neutral polysaccharide designated as PAP1b was isolated from L. by hot water extraction, ethanol precipitation, and column chromatography. PAP1b was mainly composed of mannose, galactose, xylose, and arabinose in a ratio of 4.1:3.3:0.9:1.7, with an average molecular weight of 37.3 kDa. Structural characterization indicated that the backbone of PAP1b appeared to be composed mainly of → 6-β-Man-(1 →, → 4)-α-Gal-(1 → and → 3,6)-β-Man-(1 →) residues with some branches, and terminal of (1 →)-linked-β-Man residues. The results of bioactivity experiments showed that PAP1b had antioxidant , esspecially on scavenging DPPH and hydroxyl radicals. Therefore, the polysaccharide from L. could be used as a potential antioxidant in functional food.
