Microwave-Assisted Synthesis of Glucan-Selenide and Analysis of Its Antioxidant Activity
Glucan and Na2SeO3 were used as raw materials,selenium content was used as index,and the effects of nitric acid,microwave power,reaction temperature,m(Na2SeO3)∶m(giucan)and reaction time on selenium content in selenide glucan were explored by single factor experiments.The response surface method was used to optimize the preparation of glucan-selenide by microwave assisted HNO3-Na2SeO3 method.The structures of glucan and glucan selenide were characterized by UV and IR spectra.The effect of selenium modification on the antioxidant activity of glucan was studied by in vitro antioxidant activity tests.The results showed that the optimal preparation conditions of glucan selenate were as follows:nitric acid concentration of 0.5%,microwave power of 300 W,reaction temperature of 55 ℃.Under these conditions,the selenium content of glucan selenate was 4.385 mg/g,which was only 1.70%different from the predicted value,indicating that the model was accurate and reliable.The results of UV and IR spectra structral characterization showed that glucan was successfully selenized.In vitro antioxidant activity test showed that at the concentration of 10.0 mg/mL,the scavenging rates of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH)radical,hydroxyl free radical,superoxide anion free radical and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)(ABTS)cation radical of selenided glucan were higher than those of glucan.These results indicated that the selenium modification could significantly improved the antioxidant capacity of glucan.The study provides theoretical basis for the development of selenium supplements and functional foods related to selenided glucan.
