High-Efficiency Production of Auricularia polytricha Polysaccharides Through Yellow Slurry Water Fermentation and Its Structure and Antioxidant Properties

Abstract

Yellow slurry water is a kind of nutrient-rich wastewater of tofu. Firstly, the medium of yellow slurry was optimized. Then, APP40, APP60, and APP80 were obtained by sedimentation with different concentration of ethanol (40, 60, and 80%). The physicochemical properties and primary structures of the three polysaccharides were studied by high performance anion exchange chromatography (HPAEC), high performance gel filtration chromatography (HPGFC), scanning electron microscope (SEM), atomic force microscope (AFM), and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrometer. Finally, the effects of three polysaccharides on antioxidation activity were studied. According to the experimental optimization the results, the biomass and the production of Auricularia polytricha Polysaccharides (APPS) reached the peak, and they were 13.5 ± .655 and 9.42 ± .253 g/L (p < .05). The SEM and the AFM showed that the height of APP80 gradually increased from 31.1 to 46.7 nm and from APP40 to APP80. The particle size of APP80 increased, the pores decrease or even disappear, and the molecules begin to aggregate. The FT-IR spectrum analysis showed that the three polysaccharides possessed key functional groups. The carbohydrate content of APP40, APP60, and APP80 was 20.2, 34.25, and 31.73%. The molecular weights of APP40, APP60, and APP80 are 9.462 × 104, 8.742 × 104, and 8.091 × 104 Da, respectively. The three polysaccharides were composed of rhamnose, galactose, glucose, mannose, and xylose but with different molar ratio. APP80 showed strong reducing ability and scavenging activity of 2,2–diphenyl–1–picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and hydroxyl radicals through antioxidant activities evaluated in vitro. This study introduces a way for the effective use of yellow slurry water.

Screening of exopolysaccharide-producing Enterobacter aerogenes NJ1023 and its cadaverine biosynthesis promotion

“…Culture conditions have significant impacts on cell growth and the extracellular polysaccharide synthesis capacity of microorganisms ( Yang et al, 2022 ). The fermentation processes were performed under the pH range of 5.02 to 8.61 to investigate the impact of pH on EPSs synthesis and cell growth.…”

Comparison of chemical property and in vitro digestion behavior of polysaccharides from Auricularia polytricha mycelium and fruit body

“…The yielded 3 crude polysaccharides were examined for physicochemical traits, oxidation resistance sand primary structures via SEM, XRD, FT-IR, AFM and other instruments. It lays the foundation for this study ( Yang et al, 2022 ). Accordingly, this study attempts to compare the differences between mycelial and fruit polysaccharides in a systematical manner, mainly including the following four parts: (1) Physicochemical properties (total carbohydrate, total protein, uronic acid, etc.).…”

Possibility of immediate treatment to soybean processing by-products using screw extrusion: a mini review

“…With customers' desire for healthier diets and the popularity of plant-based diets, soy has emerged as the primary source of plant-based lipids and protein for humans (Qin et al, 2022). Traditional soybean processing, like the processing of many primary agricultural products, generates a large number of by-products, most notably soybean dregs and soybean whey (Lyu et al, 2021;Yang et al, 2022), which are produced during the processing of traditional soy products (such as tofu) and new soy products (such as soybean protein isolate [SPI]), although the composition may differ (Chua and Liu, 2019). In traditional processing models, by-products are often used directly as waste or as animal feed.…”
