Extraction, structural characteristics and activities of Zizylphus vulgaris polysaccharides

Polysaccharides from South Tunisian Moringa alterniflora Leaves: Characterization, Cytotoxicity, Antioxidant Activity, and Laser Burn Wound Healing in Rats

“…The proportion of water to raw material, time, and temperature might all have an impact on these variations [ 20 ]. Extraction methods may influence the polysaccharide yield of Moringa leaves: Microwave-assisted extraction confirmed a lower yield, which did now not exceed 3% [ 21 ], while hot water extraction followed by ethanol precipitation revealed 6.8% [ 22 ], and coupling ionic liquid separation gadget with ultrasound irradiation exhibited a better yield attaining to 75% [ 23 ]. In MLWSP, sugars were the most abundant detail, as described in the maximum extracted polysaccharides [ 24 ].…”

“…This could be the prerequisite for gaining insight into structure–activity relationship [ 38 ]. Different structures that demonstrated different polysaccharide architectures were provided in the literature [ 22 , 38 ]. This can be mostly because of how the sample was prepared before microscopy.…”

Preparation, structural characteristics, and application of taro polysaccharides in food

“…Taro also contains the glycoprotein lectin, 47 which has the effect of enhancing the immune system, similar to the immunomodulatory effect of polysaccharides. 1 Purified lectin can resist the decrease in the number of leukocytes in mice caused by cyclophosphamide and make the leukocytes recover rapidly, proving the immune potential of lectin. 48 Polysaccharides play an anti-tumor role by regulating or enhancing the body's immune ability, inhibiting and destroying tumor cells and affecting the expression of oncogenes.…”

An important polysaccharide from fermentum

“…Scientific studies have shown that cancer, ageing and other diseases are mostly linked to the production of excess free radicals. Anti-oxidation is one of the most important functional claims in the market, as it can effectively overcome the harmful effects of these radicals ( Mu et al, 2021 , Zhou et al, 2022 , Tang and Huang, 2022 , Lin and Huang, 2022 , Tang and Huang, 2022 , Li et al, 2022 , Zhou and Huang, 2021 ). Khan et al used free radical scavenging capacity and ferric reducing antioxidant capacity as indicators to assess the antioxidant activity of Fermentum β-polysaccharide and found that Fermentum β-polysaccharide had good antioxidant activity and the lower the molecular weight, the better the antioxidant capacity ( Khan et al, 2016 ).…”
