Molecular Structural Characteristics of Polysaccharide Fractions from Canarium album (Lour.) Raeusch and Their Antioxidant Activities

Abstract

The molecular structural characteristics, antioxidant activities, and structure-function relationships of polysaccharide fractions from Canarium album were first investigated in this study. The results provided background and practical knowledge for the deep-processed products of C. album with high added value. CPS2 was the major antioxidant component of CPS, which could be exploited as a valued antioxidant ingredient in food and pharmaceutical industries.

Purification, Characterization, and Antioxidant Activity of Polysaccharides Isolated from Cortex Periplocae

“…Some researchers have reported that polysaccharides with lower molecular weights present stronger reducing power [ 5 , 45 ], but Huang et al reported that polysaccharides with larger molecular weights possessed higher reducing power [ 46 ]. In the present work, the results indicated that there was no obvious relationship between molecular weight and antioxidant activity, which was also consistent with reported results [ 47 , 48 ]. Uronic acids are usually considered as a key factor in antioxidant activity.…”

New function of polysaccharide from Rubus chingii Hu: protective effect against ethyl carbamate induced cytotoxicity

“…Polydispersity, expressed as Mw/Mn, appraised the molar mass distribution of a polymer, the value of which increased with the widening of molar mass distribution. 34 Thus, we deduced that RP had a relatively narrow molar mass distribution, with Mw/Mn = 1.515. In addition, the z-average root meant the square radius of gyration (Rz) of RP was 51.1.…”

Progress in traditional Chinese medicine against chronic gastritis: From chronic non-atrophic gastritis to gastric precancerous lesions

“…In vitro experiments confirmed that Atractylodes lancea volatile oils could inhibit the growth of H. pylori , reduce the biofilm formation, and decrease the translocation of Cag A, indicating that the volatile oil of Atractylodes Rhizoma is a potential inhibitor of H. pylori [ 34 ]. Canarium album Raeusch, belonging to the Burseraceae family, has numerous biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidative, and antiviral effects [ 76 , 77 ]. An in vitro experiment showed that Canarium album Raeusch fruit extracts inhibited H. pylori by suppressing growth, destroying the bacterial structure, and down-regulating the virulence factors [ 35 ].…”
