Wang, Nifei published the artcileFractionation, structural characteristics and immunomodulatory activity of polysaccharide fractions from asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.) skin, Quality Control of 59-23-4, the main research area is Asparagus polysaccharide macrophage phagocytosis physicochem property; Immunomodulatory activity; Polysaccharide fractions; Structural characterization; Structure-immunomodulatory relationship; White asparagus skin.
The physicochem. properties, structural features and structure-immunomodulatory activity relationship of pectic polysaccharides from the white asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.) skin were systematically studied. Using sequential ethanol precipitation, five sub-fractions namely WASP-40, WASP-50, WASP-60, WASP-70 and WASP-80 with distinct degree of esterification (DE) and mol. weight (Mw) were obtained. The Mw and DE values were decreased with the increase of the ethanol concentrations Structurally, although 4-α-D-GalpA was the dominant sugar residue in all fractions, the molar ratios were decreased, whereas other sugar residues including arabinose- and mannose-based sugar residues overall increased with the increase of ethanol concentration In addition, the effects of sub-fractions on the RAW 264.7 cells indicated that pectic polysaccharides with the higher DE value showed a stronger immunomodulatory activity. Moreover, the structure-activity relationship was also discussed in this study, which extends the value-added application of asparagus and its processing byproducts.
