Sustainable approaches on industrial food wastes to value-added products - A review on extraction methods, characterizations, and its biomedical applications. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 217:114758. [PMID: 36400225 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2022.114758] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2022] [Revised: 10/21/2022] [Accepted: 11/05/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
The concept of zero waste discharge has been gaining importance in recent years towards attaining a sustainable environment. Fruit processing industries generate millions of tons of byproducts like fruit peels and seeds, and their disposal poses an environmental threat. The concept of extracting value-added bioactive compounds from bio-waste is an excellent opportunity to mitigate environmental issues. To date, significant research has been carried out on the extraction of essential biomolecules, particularly polysaccharides from waste generated by fruit processing industries. In this review article, we aim to summarize the different extraction methodologies, characterization methods, and biomedical applications of polysaccharides extracted from seeds and peels of different fruit sources. The review also focuses on the general scheme of extraction of polysaccharides from fruit waste with special emphasis on various methods used in extraction. Also, the various types of polysaccharides obtained from fruit processing industrial wastes are explained in consonance with the important techniques related to the structural elucidation of polysaccharides obtained from seed and peel waste. The use of seed polysaccharides as pharmaceutical excipients and the application of peel polysaccharides possessing biological activities are also elaborated.

Antioxidant Activities of Natural Polysaccharides and Their Derivatives for Biomedical and Medicinal Applications. Antioxidants (Basel) 2022; 11:antiox11122491. [PMID: 36552700 PMCID: PMC9774958 DOI: 10.3390/antiox11122491] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2022] [Revised: 12/08/2022] [Accepted: 12/15/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Many chronic diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases are closely related to in vivo oxidative stress caused by excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS). Natural polysaccharides, as a kind of biomacromolecule with good biocompatibility, have been widely used in biomedical and medicinal applications due to their superior antioxidant properties. In this review, scientometric analysis of the highly cited papers in the Web of Science (WOS) database finds that antioxidant activity is the most widely studied and popular among pharmacological effects of natural polysaccharides. The antioxidant mechanisms of natural polysaccharides mainly contain the regulation of signal transduction pathways, the activation of enzymes, and the scavenging of free radicals. We continuously discuss the antioxidant activities of natural polysaccharides and their derivatives. At the same time, we summarize their applications in the field of pharmaceutics/drug delivery, tissue engineering, and antimicrobial food additives/packaging materials. Overall, this review provides up-to-date information for the further development and application of natural polysaccharides with antioxidant activities.

Chemical Modification, Characterization, and Activity Changes of Land Plant Polysaccharides: A Review. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14194161. [PMID: 36236108 PMCID: PMC9570684 DOI: 10.3390/polym14194161] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/03/2022] [Revised: 09/25/2022] [Accepted: 09/26/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
Plant polysaccharides are widely found in nature and have a variety of biological activities, including immunomodulatory, antioxidative, and antitumoral. Due to their low toxicity and easy absorption, they are widely used in the health food and pharmaceutical industries. However, low activity hinders the wide application. Chemical modification is an important method to improve plant polysaccharides' physical and chemical properties. Through chemical modification, the antioxidant and immunomodulatory abilities of polysaccharides were significantly improved. Some polysaccharides with poor water solubility also significantly improved their water solubility after modification. Chemical modification of plant polysaccharides has become an important research direction. Research on the modification of plant polysaccharides is currently increasing, but a review of the various modification studies is absent. This paper reviews the research progress of chemical modification (sulfation, phosphorylation, acetylation, selenization, and carboxymethylation modification) of land plant polysaccharides (excluding marine plant polysaccharides and fungi plant polysaccharides) during the period of January 2012-June 2022, including the preparation, characterization, and biological activity of modified polysaccharides. This study will provide a basis for the deep application of land plant polysaccharides in food, nutraceuticals, and pharmaceuticals.

Cui J, Wang Y, Kim E, Zhang C, Zhang G, Lee Y. Structural Characteristics and Immunomodulatory Effects of a Long-Chain Polysaccharide From Laminaria japonica. Front Nutr 2022; 9:762595. [PMID: 35419391 PMCID: PMC8996131 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2022.762595] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2021] [Accepted: 02/24/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Polysaccharides derived from Laminaria japonica (LJPS) have shown a variety of beneficial effects on improving human health; however, the structural features and bioactivities of long-chain LJPS remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the structural characteristics and bioactivities of a novel long-chain LJPS. Results showed that the LJPS was composed of Fuc, Rha, Ara, Gal, Glc, Xyl, Man, Fru, Rib, GalA, GluA, GlcA, and ManA, with a molar ratio of 35.71:1.48:0.28:13.16:0.55:2.97:6.92:0.58:0.41:0.14:3.16:15.84:18.79. Of these, Fuc, Gal, Man, GlcA, and ManA were the predominant components with an accumulated proportion of 93.6%. The LJPS was found to consist of seven types of the monomer residues, and the main interchain glycosidic linkages were β -D-(1 → 2), α -D-(1 → 3), (1 → 4), and (1 → 6), and the molecular mass was 5.79 × 104 g/mol. Regarding the molecular conformation, LJPS was a multi-branched, long-chain macromolecule, and appeared in a denser crosslinking network with highly branched and helix domains in the terms of morphology. Additionally, the LJPS had no toxicity to mouse macrophage cells and exhibited biphasic immuno-modulating capacity. The present findings suggested that the long-chain LJPS might be an attractive candidate as an immunopotentiating and anti-inflammatory functional food, and this study also provides a feasible approach to decipher the structural characteristics and spatial conformations of plant-derived polysaccharides.
