Mei, Xinya published the artcileThe antioxidant activities of balsam pear polysaccharide, Safety of (2R,3S,4S,5R)-2,3,4,5,6-Pentahydroxyhexanal, the main research area is balsam pear polysaccharide antioxidant gel permeation chromatog; Antioxidant activities; Balsam pear polysaccharide; Structural characterization.
The antioxidant activities of polysaccharide from balsam pear were studied. It was determined by gel permeation chromatog. that the mol. weight distribution of purified polysaccharide was concentrated near 33582 Da. It indicated that the monosaccharide components were rhamnose, galacturonic acid, galactose, xylose and arabinose. Fourier transform IR spectroscopy, NMR and Congo red experiments showed that there are C1, C2, C3, C5 links, and stable β-triple helix conformation in aqueous solution It was found that polysaccharide had good scavenging effect on free radicals. So, balsam pear polysaccharide should be a potential antioxidant.
International Journal of Biological Macromolecules published new progress about Antioxidants. 59-23-4 belongs to class alcohols-buliding-blocks, name is (2R,3S,4S,5R)-2,3,4,5,6-Pentahydroxyhexanal, and the molecular formula is C6H12O6, Safety of (2R,3S,4S,5R)-2,3,4,5,6-Pentahydroxyhexanal.
