Abstract:The polysaccharide was extracted from Phascolosoma esculenta (PEP). Two purified polysaccharides (PEP‐1 and PEP‐2) were obtained by the column chromatography separation method. The molecular weights of PEP‐1 and PEP‐2 were 33.6 and 5.7 × 103 kDa, respectively. PEP‐1 and PEP‐2 had the same monosaccharides composition, but their molar ratios varied. The in vitro antioxidant activity of the PEP, PEP‐1, and PEP‐2 were investigated by scavenging free radicals like 3‐ethylbenzoth‐iazoline‐6‐sulfonic acid (ABTS), •OH… Show more
