Studies on the effects of different polysaccharides extraction process from Auricularia auricula on antioxidant activities and α-glycosidase inhibitory
In order to evaluate the effects of different polysaccharides extraction process from the fruiting body of Auricularia auricular-judae on antioxidant activities and α-glycosidase inhibitory,extracts were prepared from Auricularia auricular-judae by water extraction,cellulose enzyme extraction and alkali solution extraction.The polysaccharides content in extracts and the effects of extracts on activity of α-glycosidase,hydroxyl radicals scavenging,chelating effects and Caenorhabditis elegans resistance to H2O2 were determined.The polysaccharides content in extracts from A.auricular-judae with different extraction process are different,and the highest content of 50.35% ± 1.26% was recorded for alkali solution extraction,and the lowest of 1.65% ± 0.27% was recorded for water extraction.The inhibition effect on α-glycosidase activity of the extract from the alkali solution extraction was similar to that of the enzyme extraction (39.24 ± 1.17% and 39.61 ± 1.21%),and the inhibition effect of water extract was only 13.67 ± 0.97%.The highest hydroxyl radicals scavenging and chelating effects were recorded for the extract prepared from the enzyme extraction,and the effects were significant difference compared with the same concentration (2 mg/mL) of water extract and alkali extract (P < 0.05).In addition,the extracts of enzyme and alkali extraction had significantly enhanced nematodes resistant to H2O2,and they could prolong the nematodes life in the oxidative stress state coincident with control group.
