Research Progress in Effects of Polyphenol-Polysaccharide Interactions on Activity and Interaction Mechanisms
Plant polyphenols and polysaccharides have a variety of pharmacological activities.During food pro-cessing,the interactions between polyphenols and polysaccharides are inevitable.The effects of such interac-tions on the activity can be used for the development of functional food and the research and development of green food packaging materials.On the one hand,the interactions between polyphenols and polysaccharides can improve the bioavailability of polyphenols in the gastrointestinal tract.On the other hand,the addition of polyphenols can improve the antimicrobial,antioxidant,and antiseptic effects of polysaccharide-based films.Moreover,the complex of the two demonstrates strong synergistic resistance to oxidation.The bioactivities of polyphenols and polysaccharides and the effects of their interactions on activity were reviewed.In addition,the interaction mechanisms and influencing factors were analyzed,and the development trend in food processing was prospected.
