Optimization of steam explosion conditions for assisting extraction of Lyophyllum decastes polysaccharides and physicochemical properties of the polysaccharides extracted
Steam explosion was used to assist hot water extraction of Lyophyllum decastes polysaccharides.Considering the yield of the crude polysaccharide,total sugar content and polysaccharide extraction rate,the conditions of steam explosion process was optimized by using response surface method on the basis of one-way test.The optimum conditions obtained were 2.0 MPa of pressure,90 s of pressure maintenance and 3 mm of material size.Under optimized conditions,the yield of the crude polysaccharide,the total sugar content and the extraction rate were 2.05,1.70 and 3.49 times higher than that of the untreated control group.The content of β-glucan was 2.28 times higher than that of the control.The infrared spectra showed that the typical absorption peaks of polysaccharides still existed after the steam explosion treatment,but the molecular weight distribution characteristics differed greatly before and after the treatment,and the proportion of glucose in the monosaccharide composition of the polysaccharides obtained by the steam explosion treatment was increased,being consistent with the elevation of the β-glucan content.Cell culture test indicated that the immunomodulatory effect of polysaccharides obtained after steam explosion treatment were significantly improved as compared with that of polysaccharides of untreated control,possible due to the higher percentage of β-glucan in the treating samples.
