“…Furthermore, some scholars believe that the α-glycosidic bonds also affect antioxidant activity [ 42 ]. The DPW obtained in the present study belongs to the fructans group, and polysaccharides with similar structures have been widely demonstrated to have strong antioxidant effects [ 43 , 44 ]. However, the underlying relationships between the structure and the function of different polysaccharides are complex, and more studies are needed to interpret the dominant factors responsible for the antioxidant activity of DPW and other polysaccharides.…”

The daylily (Hemerocallis citrina Baroni) flower is a traditional raw food material that is rich in a variety of nutrients. In particular, the content of polysaccharides in daylily is abundant and has been widely used as a functional component in food, cosmetics, medicine, and other industries. However, studies on the structure-effective relationship of daylily flower polysaccharides are still lacking. In view of this, daylily flower polysaccharides were isolated and purified, and their physical and chemical properties, structure, antioxidant activity, and adhesion-promoting effect on probiotics were evaluated. The results showed that a novel water-soluble polysaccharide (DPW) with an average molecular weight (Mw) of 2.224 kDa could be successfully isolated using column chromatography. Monosaccharide composition analysis showed that DPW only comprised glucose and fructose, with a molar ratio of 0.242:0.758. Through methylation and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis, it was inferred that DPW belonged to the fructans group with a structure of α-D-Glcp-1→2-β-D-Fruf-1→(2-β-D-Fruf-1)n→. Antioxidant analysis showed that DPW showed strong 2-Phenyl-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-Oxide (PTIO-scavenging activity with IC50 of 1.54 mg/mL. DPW of 1.25 to 5 mg/mL could significantly increase the adhesion rate of Lactobacillus acidophilu, Lactobacillus casei, Bifidobacterium adolescentis, and Lactobacillus plantarum on Caco-2 cells. Considering the above results, the present study provides a theoretical basis and practical support for the development and application of daylily polysaccharides as a functional active ingredient.

“…Fructans are carbohydrates considered prebiotic fibers and can be extracted from various sources such as Jerusalem artichoke, chicory root, onion bulb, garlic, agave pineapple, bananas, and wheat and rye grains, among others . However, industrially, they are obtained mainly from the root of chicory (Cichorium intybus L.) with degrees of polymerization (DPs) varying from 2 to 60 or even more .…”

The effects of linear and branched fructans from chicory and agave, respectively, and of different degrees of polymerization (DP) were evaluated on the growth curves of Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lacticaseibacillus paracasei, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, and Lactobacillus rhamnosus. Native fructans from agaves were separated into fractions with different DPs using the ultrafiltration process. The fructan profile was determined by size exclusion chromatography (high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-SEC) and grouped according to their DPs. The growth was evaluated by the specific growth rate (μ) using turbidimetry (nephelometric turbidity unit (NTU)) at 860 nm for 12−22 h in modified De Man−Rogosa−Sharpe (MRS) broth, using fructans as a carbohydrate source. The different tested strains exhibited varying growth rates under the tested treatments, and the highest growth was obtained with agave fructooligosaccharides (FOS) in a range between 4 and 50% of the four LAB evaluated in comparison with linear fructans, so they can be considered for the development of new functional foods and pharmaceutical industries.
