Abstract
Fruit and vegetables are a great source of nutrients and have numerous health benefits. The fruit and vegetable industry produces enormous amounts of waste such as peels, seeds, and stems. The amount of this waste production has increased, causing economic and environmental problems. Fruit and vegetable wastes (FVWs) have the potential to be recovered and used to produce high-value goods. Furthermore, FVWs have a large variety and quantity of polysaccharides, which makes them interesting to study for potential industrial use. Currently, the investigations on extracting polysaccharides from FVWs and examining how they affect human health are increasing. The present review focuses on polysaccharides from FVWs such as starch, pectin, cellulose, and inulin, and their various biological activities such as anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, anti-diabetic, antioxidant, and antimicrobial. Additionally, applications as packaging material, gelling agent, emulsifier, prebiotic, and fat replacer of polysaccharides from FVWs in the food industry have been viewed in detail. As a result, FVWs can be reused as the source of polysaccharides, reducing environmental pollution and enabling sustainable green development. Further investigation of the biological activities of polysaccharides from FVWs on human health is of great importance for using these polysaccharides in food applications.

Abstract
Citrus fruits contain numerous antioxidative biomolecules including phenolic acids, flavonols, flavanones, polymethoxyflavones (PMFs), and their derivatives. Previous in vitro and in vivo studies thoroughly investigated the antioxidant and therapeutic potential of bioflavonoids extracted from different citrus varieties and fruit fractions. Major bioflavonoids such as hesperidin, naringin, naringenin, and PMFs, had restricted their incorporation into food and health products due to their poor solubility, chemical stability and bioavailability. Considering these limitations, modern encapsulation methodologies such as hydrogelation, liposomal interactions, emulsifications, and nanoparticles have been designed to shield bioflavonoids with improved target distribution for therapeutic enhancements. The size, durability, and binding efficiency of bioflavonoid-loaded encapsulates were acquired by the optimized chemical and instrumental parameters such as solubility, gelation, dispersion, extrusion, and drying. Bioflavonoid-enriched encapsulates have been also proven to be effective against cancer, inflammation, neurodegeneration, and various other illnesses. However, in the future, newer natural binding agents with higher binding capacity might accelerate the encapsulating potential, controlled release, and enhanced bioavailability of citrus bioflavonoids. Overall, these modern encapsulation systems are currently leading to a new era of diet-based medicine, as demand for citrus fruit-based nutritional supplements and edibles grows.

The protective effect and antitumor activity of Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata (Fuzi) polysaccharide on cyclophosphamide-induced immunosuppression in H22 tumor-bearing mice. Front Pharmacol 2023; 14:1151092. [PMID: 37033618 PMCID: PMC10079910 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2023.1151092] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2023] [Accepted: 03/13/2023] [Indexed: 04/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata, also known as Fuzi in Chinese, has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for more than 2,000 years. In recent years, some traditional herbal compounds containing Fuzi have achieved positive clinical results in tumor treatment. And the polysaccharide isolated from Fuzi has attracted much attention as a potential immunomodulator. However, its immunomodulatory mechanism remains to be further studied. Aim of the study. Fuzi neutral polysaccharide (FNPS) and cyclophosphamide (CTX) were combined to treat Hepatoma 22 (H22) tumor-bearing mice, and its mechanism of ameliorating immunosuppression caused by CTX was studied. Methods: FNPS was isolated and purified. The molecular weight, functional groups, monosaccharide composition, and apparent morphology were characterized by gel permeation chromatography, Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, ion chromatography and scanning electron microscope, respectively. Through the analysis of tumor, immune organs, and serum cytokine levels of H22 tumor-bearing mice, the immunomodulatory effect and the protective effect on immunosuppressive mice induced by CTX was evaluated. And the immunomodulatory activity of FNPS was further verified by macrophage functional experiments. Results: FNPS was composed of rhamnose, arabinose, galactose, glucose, and mannose in a molar ratio of 0.008:0.017:0.018:0.908:0.048. Its molecular weight was 94 kDa. In vivo experiments showed that 200 mg mL-1 FNPS could alleviate the suppression of immune organs and immune cells caused by CTX treatment, enhance the antitumor effect of CTX, increase the serum levels of Th1 immune-related pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β and IL-6), and decrease Th2 immune-related anti-inflammatory cytokine (IL-10) and tumor-related pro-inflammatory cytokine (TNF-α) in the chemotherapy mice. Functional experiments revealed that 25 μg mL-1 FNPS could promote phagocytosis and proliferation of macrophages. When the concentration reached 50 μg mL-1, it enhanced the migration activity. Conclusion: FNPS has the potential to alleviate the immunosuppressive effect of CTX by activating immune cells and promoting inflammation. It could be used as a potential auxiliary medication for liver cancer treatment.

[PMID: 35867013 DOI: 10.1111/jfbc.14323] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2022] [Revised: 05/26/2022] [Accepted: 05/31/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
A novel polysaccharide was extracted from Coriandrum sativum L. at a yield of 4.56 ± 0.17% (n = 3). The extraction was optimized using response surface methodology: powder-to-liquid ratio 1:21 g/ml, extraction time 188 min, temperature 81°C, and three replicate extractions. The purified polysaccharide had an average molecular weight of 1.30 × 106 Da and was composed of rhamnose, arabinose, galactose, glucose, and galacturonic acid in molar ratios of 1.52: 8.14: 20.85: 1: 2.42 with α-L-Araf-(1→, →6)-β-D-Galp-(1→, →4)-α-GalpA-(1→ and →2, 4)-α-Rhap-(1→). In vivo tests demonstrated that the polysaccharide suppressed H22 tumor growth in mice and protected the immune organs. Annexin V-FITC/PI, PI, and JC-1 staining showed that the primary mechanism of tumor inhibition was the induction of apoptosis and S-phase arrest with apoptosis achieved via a mitochondrial pathway. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Coriandrum sativum L. is used as a culinary spice but its medicinal value has also been widely recognized. A novel polysaccharide was extracted from this herbaceous plant and its structure and bioactivity were investigated. This high-molecular-weight polysaccharide exhibited antitumor effects against H22 cells in mice and had potential to be developed as an anti-liver cancer medicine and functional food supplement.

Qu D, Hu H, Lian S, Sun W, Si H. The Protective Effects of Three Polysaccharides From Abrus cantoniensis Against Cyclophosphamide-Induced Immunosuppression and Oxidative Damage. Front Vet Sci 2022; 9:870042. [PMID: 35585861 PMCID: PMC9108546 DOI: 10.3389/fvets.2022.870042] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2022] [Accepted: 03/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
This study was designed to systematically elucidate the immunomodulatory and antioxidant effects of three polysaccharide fractions (ACP60, ACP80, and ACPt2) from Abrus cantoniensis on cyclophosphamide (CTX)-induced immunosuppressive mice. The experimental mice were divided into 12 groups, then modeled and administrated with different doses of three polysaccharides (50, 150, 300 mg/kg/day) by gavage. The results showed that ACP could markedly recover the CTX-induced decline in immune organ and hemocytes indexes and promote proliferation of splenocytes, earlap swelling rate, secretion of cytokines (TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-1β, IL-6), and immunoglobulin (Ig-M and Ig-G). Additionally, ACP improved the enzymatic activities of T-SOD and GSH-PX greatly, while the level of MDA was significantly decreased in the liver. In particular, ACPt2 had higher immunomodulatory and antioxidant activities than ACP60 and ACP80. Based on the present findings, ACP could be utilized as an efficacious candidate for immunomodulators and antioxidants, which provide a new application prospect in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

Comprehensive Utilization of Immature Honey Pomelo Fruit for the Production of Value-Added Compounds Using Novel Continuous Phase Transition Extraction Technology. BIOLOGY 2021; 10:biology10080815. [PMID: 34440047 PMCID: PMC8389540 DOI: 10.3390/biology10080815] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2021] [Revised: 08/19/2021] [Accepted: 08/20/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
Simple Summary For the first time, this study investigated the extraction of bioactive substances with different polarities from immature honey pomelo fruit (IPF), a by-product of pomelo planting processing that causes resource waste and environmental pollution, using novel continuous phase transition extraction technology (CPTE). The results showed that CPTE was suitable for extracting essential oil, naringin, and pectin in sequence according to their polarities. The naringin extraction process was optimized by the response surface methodology, resulting in an extract ratio up to 99.47%. Moreover, the pectin extracted from IPF by CPTE showed better quality compared to commercial counterparts, as evidenced by lower protein and ash contents and higher white value. Together, these results suggested that CPTE could be a promising technology to improve the application value of IPF. For instance, the extracted bioactive components can be utilized as nutraceutical food ingredients. The scientific insights from this study will contribute to the development of functional food ingredients and comprehensive utilization of farming by-products. Abstract The immature honey pomelo fruit (IPF) is a huge agro-industrial by-product generated during pomelo planting. Although IPF is rich in nutrients, more than 95% of IPF is discarded annually, which causes resource waste and a serious environmental problem. Here, we report a novel continuous phase transition extraction technology (CPTE) to improve the comprehensive utilization of IPF by sequentially generating high value products and solve pollution problems related to their disposal. First, essential oil was successively extracted by CPTE at a yield of 1.12 ± 0.36%, in which 43 species were identified. Second, naringin extraction parameters were optimized using the response surface methodology (RSM), resulting in a maximum extraction rate of 99.47 ± 0.15%. Finally, pectin was extracted at a yield of 20.23 ± 0.66%, which is similar to the contents of commercial pectin. In conclusion, this study suggested that IPF was an excellent potential substrate for the production of value-added components by CPTE.

Abstract
A novel alkali-soluble polysaccharide (AASP) was isolated from Angelica sinensis (Oliv.) Diels under aqueous alkali treatment, and its structural characterization and antitumor activity in Vivo were evaluated in present study. Results of HPGPC and IC revealed that AASP was a neutral polysaccharide containing Ara, Gal and Glc in the mole ratio of 1.00 : 2.26 : 24.43, with the average molecular weight of 4.7 kDa. Periodate oxidation, Smith degradation, methylation, FT-IR, and NMR analyses further demonstrated that a preliminary structure of AASP was proposed as follows: (1→3)-linked arabinose, (1→6)-linked galactose, and (1→), (1→4), (1→6), (1→3,6)-linked glucose with α- and β-configuration. In Vivo antitumor assays, AASP exhibited prominent antitumor effects on H22 hepatoma cells with an inhibitory ratio of 48.57 % and effectively protected thymuses and spleens of tumor-bearing mice. Besides, AASP displayed a proliferation stimulating activity of immunocytes (splenocytes, peritoneal macrophages and natural killer cells), and an auxo-action for cytokines release (TNF-α, IL-2 and IFN-γ), leading to the apoptosis of H22 solid tumors cells via G0/G1 phase arrested. The above data demonstrated that AASP holds great application potential to be a safe and effective antitumor supplement in the future.

Abstract
Pomelo peel as a by-product from pomelo consumption is rich in various nutrients and functional compounds, while most of the by-product is disposed as wastes. The utilization of pomelo peels could not only result in valued-added products/ingredients, but also reduce the environmental threats. By mainly reviewing the recent articles, pomelo peels could be directly used to produce candied pomelo peel, tea, jams, etc. Additionally, functional components (essential oils, pectin, polyphenols, etc.) could be extracted from pomelo peels and applied in food, pharmaceutical and chemical fields. The extraction methods exerted important influences on the composition, physicochemical properties, bioactivities and structures of the resultant fractions. Furthermore, pomelo peel was exploited to make adsorbents, bioethanol, etc. For the future investigations, the functionality- or bioactivity-oriented regimes to recovery valuable components from pomelo peel should be developed in an economic, effective and eco-friendly way and their applicability in large-scale production should be addressed.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the most frequent and fatal malignancy in humans worldwide, yet novel successful drugs for control of this disease are still lacking. Ipomoea batatas polysaccharides (IBPs) have been implicated in inhibiting diverse cancer types, but their functions in mitigating lung cancer are largely unknown. In this study, we identify a role of IBP in inhibiting lung cancer proliferation. We found that IBP significantly impedes the proliferation of lung cancer cells by inducing cytostatic macroautophagy both in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, IBP specifically promotes ubiquitination-mediated degradation of PAK1 (p21-activated kinase 1) and blocks its downstream Akt1/mTOR signaling pathway, leading to increased autophagic flux. In lung cancer xenografts in mice, IBP-induced cytostatic autophagy suppresses tumor development. Through site-directed mutational analysis, the underlying signaling augments ubiquitination via PAK1-ubiquitin interaction. Collectively, this work unravels the molecular mechanism underpinning IBP-induced cytostatic autophagy in lung cancer and characterizes IBP as a potential therapeutic agent for lung cancer treatment.

[PMID: 32299552 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2020.116185] [Citation(s) in RCA: 38] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2019] [Revised: 03/06/2020] [Accepted: 03/14/2020] [Indexed: 01/04/2023]
Abstract
Tropical and sub-tropical fruits are tremendous sources of polysaccharides (PSs), which are of great interest in the human welfare system as natural medicines, food and cosmetics. This review paper aims to highlight the recent trends in extraction (conventional and non-conventional), purification and analytic techniques of fruit polysaccharides (FPSs). The chemical structure and biological activities, such as immunomodulatory, anti-cancer, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, anti-coagulant and anti-diabetic effects, of PSs extracted from 53 various fruits were compared and discussed. With this wide coverage, a total of 172 scientific articles were reviewed and discussed. This comprehensive survey from previous studies suggests that the FPSs are non-toxic and highly biocompatible. In addition, this review highlights that FPSs might be excellent functional foods as well as effective therapeutic drugs. Finally, the future research advances of FPSs are also described. The content of this review will promote human wellness-based food product development in the future.

Abstract
The water-soluble polysaccharides from Kaempferia galanga L. (KGPs) were extracted and purified, and their structural characteristics and antitumor activity were further investigated. The UV spectrum, high-performance gel permeation chromatography (HPGPC), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and ion chromatography (IC) were employed to evaluate the structural characteristics, and H22 tumor-bearing mice model was established to demonstrate the antitumor activity. Physicochemical analysis and UV spectrum results showed that the proportions of total sugar, protein, and uronic acid in KGPs were 85.23%, 0.54%, and 24.17%, respectively. HPGPC, FTIR, and IC indicated that KGPs were acidic polysaccharides with skeletal modes of pyranose rings and mainly composed of arabinose and galactose with the average molecular weight of 8.5 × 105 Da. The in vivo antitumor experiments showed that KGPs could effectively protect the thymus and spleen of tumor-bearing mice from solid tumors and enhance the immunoregulatory ability of CD4+ T cells, the cytotoxic effects of CD8+ T cells and NK cells, and finally resulting in the inhibitory effects on H22 solid tumors. This study provided a theoretical foundation for the practical application of KGPs in food and medical industries.

Abstract
In this study, the cytotoxic activity of selenious-β-lactoglobulin (Se-β-Lg) and the anticancer mechanism were investigated in human lung cancer A549 cells in vitro. MTT assay showed that Se-β-Lg at 200 μg/mL exhibited a significant suppression effect on A549 cells and the maximum inhibition rate reached 90% after 72 h treatment. Flow cytometry analysis revealed that 200 μg/mL of Se-β-Lg induced cell cycle arrest at G0/G1 phase. Cell apoptosis was induced via the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the decrease of mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) in a time-dependent manner. Furthermore, Se-β-Lg suppressed the expression of Bcl-2 and improved the level of Bax, leading to the release of cytochrome c and a higher expression of caspase-3 in A549 cells. In summary, Se-β-Lg could induce apoptosis in A549 cells via an intrinsic mitochondrial pathway and it might serve as a potential therapeutic agent for human lung cancer.

Abstract
The alcohol-soluble polysaccharide (ASP) was extracted from Astragalus membranaceus, and their preliminary structural characteristics and in vivo antitumor activity were investigated in this study. The contents of total sugar, protein and uronic acid in ASP was 92.04%, 0.51% and 1.42%, respectively. FTIR and IC results indicated that ASP (about 2.1 × 103 Da) was a neutral polysaccharide composed of arabinose, galactose, glucose and mannose (molar ratio: 1.00:0.98:3.01:1.52) with pyranose ring and α-type glycosidic linkages. Besides, ASP could significantly inhibit the growth of H22 heptoma cells in vivo via improving the levels of serum cytokines (TNF-α, IL-2 and IFN-γ) and activities of immune cells (macrophages, lymphocytes and NK cells), thereby inducing tumor cell apoptosis and attenuating their accessional damages. These results suggested that ASP may serve as a novel potential antitumor agent in the future.
