Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the antioxidant activity and digestion properties in gastrointestinal system of the exopolysaccharides from Antrodia camphorata. In situ extraction fermentation was applied in submerged fermentation of A. camphorata and the effect of extractants on the yield of exopolysaccharides was investigated. To evaluate the antioxidant activity of the exopolysaccharides, the superoxide anion, hydroxyl radical, and DPPH radical scavenging rate were texted. Furthermore, the model of digestion and fecal fermentation in vitro was used to analyze its digestion properties. The results showed that oleic acid extraction fermentation could significantly increase the exopolysaccharide yield (236.42 mg/mL) and antioxidant activity. The exopolysaccharide AC-2 was obtained by alcohol precipitation with molecular weight of 23.07 kDa. It was mainly composed of fucose, galactose, glucose, and mannose, with the molar ratio of 0.09∶1∶0.49∶0.27. Moreover, AC-2 could transit through the gastrointestinal tract without dramatic degradation and then utilized by gut microbiota. During the fermentation process by human feces, AC-2 exhibited a high capability to decrease pH and increase the content of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which indicated that AC-2 could improve the intestinal environment. In summary, AC-2 is a small molecule polysaccharide that can stably through the gastrointestinal and promote the intestinal microbes to synthesize SCFAs, indicating that AC-2 has the potential activity in regulating intestinal health.
