Tang YJ, He WW, Wang X, Jia RQ, Song XX, Yin JY. Ascorbic acid-mediated reduction of arabinoxylan viscosity through free radical reactions. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 271:132291. [PMID: 38816296 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.132291] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2023] [Revised: 04/26/2024] [Accepted: 05/09/2024] [Indexed: 06/01/2024]
Abstract
Arabinoxylan (AX) is a potential natural food additive that can enhance the textural properties of food. However, the addition of ascorbic acid (AA) can easily lead to a decrease in the viscosity of AX, which poses a challenge in the development of AX-rich foods. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to elucidate the mechanisms behind the reduction in AX viscosity in the presence of AA. The results indicated that AA could reduce the apparent viscosity and molecular weight of AX without significantly affecting the monosaccharide composition, suggesting a potential mechanism related to the cleavage of AX glycosidic bonds. Interestingly, free radicals were present in the reaction system, and the generation of free radicals under different conditions was consistent with the reduction in apparent viscosity of AX. Furthermore, the reduction in AX apparent viscosity by AA was influenced by various factors including AA concentration, reaction time, temperature, pH, and metal ions. These findings suggested that the mechanism of AX degradation may be due to AA-induced free radical generation, leading to non-selective attacks on glycosidic bonds. Therefore, this study revealed that the potential mechanism behind the reduction in AX viscosity induced by AA involved the generation of ascorbic acid radicals.

Plantago asiatica L. polysaccharides: Physiochemical properties, structural characteristics, biological activity and application prospects: A review. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 258:128990. [PMID: 38158057 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.128990] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2023] [Revised: 11/14/2023] [Accepted: 12/21/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024]
Abstract
Plantago asiatica L. (PAL), a traditional herb, has been used in East Asia for thousands of years. In recent years, polysaccharides extracted from PAL have garnered increased attention due to their outstanding pharmacological and biological properties. Previous research has established that PAL-derived polysaccharides exhibit antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, antitumor, antimicrobial, immune-regulatory, intestinal health-promoting, antiviral, and other effects. Nevertheless, a comprehensive summary of the research related to Plantago asiatica L. polysaccharides (PALP) has not been reported to date. In this paper, we review the methods for isolation and purification, physiochemical properties, structural features, and biological activities of PALP. To provide a foundation for research and application in the fields of medicine and food, this review also outlines the future development prospects of plantain polysaccharides.

Abstract
Gastric mucosal injury is a common gastrointestinal disorder. Hericium erinaceus polysaccharide, the major active ingredient in Hericium erinaceus, can reduce gastric mucosal damage to some extent. In this study, two different products HMP-Vc and HMP-Ce were obtained by Vitamin C and cellulase degradation of Hericium erinaceus mycelium polysaccharide (HMP). The gastroprotective activity of polysaccharides and its interaction products with food additives silica nanoparticles (nSiO2) were studied in GES-1 cells. It was found that gastroprotective activity of HMP was significantly higher than that of degradation products, and the addition of nSiO2 could enhance this activity of HMP. The greatest difference between the degradation products and HMP was the reduction of the triple helix structure, which might be the reason of the gastroprotective activity was less than that of HMP. Moreover, nSiO2 might interact with HMP through hydrogen bonding to enhance its activity.

Structural characteristics and anti-inflammatory activity of UV/H 2O 2-treated algal sulfated polysaccharide from Gracilaria lemaneiformis. Food Chem Toxicol 2021; 152:112157. [PMID: 33789119 DOI: 10.1016/j.fct.2021.112157] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2021] [Revised: 03/02/2021] [Accepted: 03/22/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
The study aimed to study the effects on structural characteristics and anti-inflammatory activities of algal sulfated polysaccharides isolated from Gracilaria lemaneiformis (GLP) after a combined treatment of UV irradiation (average irradiance of 6500 mJ/cm2) and H2O2 (50 mmol/L) for various time periods up to 60 min. After a 30-min treatment, the molecular weight and particle size of GLP was decreased by 15 and 2.6 fold, respectively with small but significant decrease in the contents of total sugars, uronic acids and proteins. There seemed to have no starch and the presence of longer side chains of branches in the GLP samples before and after UV/H2O2 treatment based on the I2-KI assay. Scanning electron microscope and atomic force microscope analysis confirmed that the UV/H2O2 treatment could modify the surface morphology of GLP. GLP treated for 5 min possessed the strongest in vitro anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting the production of nitric oxide, tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-6 by 60.49%, 62.81% and 36.29%, respectively in IEC-6 cells when compared to the model. Therefore, UV/H2O2 treatment had the potential to enhance the anti-inflammatory activity of algal sulfated polysaccharides.

Abstract
β-Glucans are widely found in plants and microorganisms, which has a variety of functional activities. During production and application, interactions with other components have a great influence on the structure and functional properties of β-glucan. In this paper, interactions (including non-covalent interaction and free-radical reaction) between natural product derived β-glucan and ascorbic acid, polyphenols, bile acids/salts, metal ion or other compounds were summarized. Besides, the mechanism and influence factors of interactions between β-glucan and small-molecule compounds, and their effects on the functional properties of β-glucan were detailed. This review aims to develop an understanding and practical suggestions on interactions between β-glucan and small-molecule compounds, which is expected to provide a useful reference for processing and application.

Abstract
Psyllium gum is a hydrocolloid found in the husk of seeds from Plantago ovata. Psyllium husk has been used in traditional medicine in areas of India and China. Its consumption has been shown to provide nutritional benefits, such as the capacity to reduce the glycaemic index, to minimize the risk of cardiovascular diseases, to decrease cholesterol and constipation problems and others. Thus, interest in the incorporation of psyllium in food products is twofold. First, it can be a natural alternative to the use of other gums and hydrocolloids considered additives. Second, it can be used to improve the nutritional properties of products in which it is incorporated. However, for this purpose, it is necessary to add great quantities of psyllium. This review analyses the potential use of psyllium in distinct food products, considering its advantages and inconveniences as well as possible solutions for undesired effects. Among the analyzed products there are bakery products and, in particular, gluten-free breads where psyllium has been used as a gluten substitute. The incorporation of psyllium into dairy products such as yogurts and those derived from fruits, among others, is also addressed.
