Research Progress on Chemically Modified Plant Polysaccharides:Bioactivities and Applications in the Food Industry
Plant polysaccharides represent a class of naturally occurring macromolecular polymers that exhibit diverse bioactivities,including antioxidant,hypoglycemic,immunomodulatory,antitumor,and antibacterial.A burgeoning body of research suggests that polysaccharide bioactivities can be enhanced via structural modifications.This study presents five chemical modification methods for polysaccharides—sulfation,phosphorylation,acetylation,carboxymethylation,and selenization—with particular emphasis on their effects on polysaccharide bioactivities.Furthermore,it summarizes the applications of chemically modified polysaccharides as food additives,edible packaging materials,functional food components,carriers,and food ingredients.This information provides a theoretical framework to fully investigate the bioactivities of plant polysaccharides and advance their product development and research in the food industry.
