Carboxymethylation modification process and antioxidant activity of polysaccharides from Pleurotus eryngii
Polysaccharides from Pleurotus eryngii (PEP) was carboxymethylated by alkaline chloroacetic acid to obtain carboxymethylated polysaccharides (CM-PEP).Carboxymethylation modification process and antioxidant activity of CM-PEF were studied.Substitution degree was selected as the index,and effects of sodium hydrate amount,chloroacetic acid amount,reaction time and reaction temperature on the substitution degree of CM-PEP were investigated through the single factor experiment.Carboxymethylation modification process was optimized by response surface analysis with Box-Behnken design.Antioxidant activity of CM-PEP was evaluated by scavenging ability of · OH,O2-· and DPPH free radicals.The optimal carboxymethylation modification process was:sodium hydrate amount 2.98 g,chloroacetic acid amount 2.51 g,reaction time 4h and reaction temperature 60 ℃.Under the optimal conditions,the degree of substitution was 0.891.Carboxymethylation modification changed the structure of PEP.Relative molecular weight of CM-PEF was smaller.CM-PEP mainly composed of arabinose,mannose,galactose and glucose.Content of arabinose and galactose of CM-PEF was higher.Compared with PEF,scavenging capacities of CM-PEP against hydroxyl free radicals and superoxide anion free radicals were improved,but the scavenging capacity against DPPH free radicals was weakened.
