Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the physicochemical properties, antioxidant, and hypolipidemic effects of pectin from Malus pumila (MP).The molecular weight distribution of pectin was determined by high-performance gel permeation chromatography, and its physical and chemical properties, such as galacturonic acid content, esterification degree, and monosaccharide composition were determined.The possible structures were predicted by infrared (IR) spectroscopy and the antioxidant capacity of pectin was evaluated by antioxidant test in vitro.The rats were fed a high-fat diet (HFD) to induce hyperlipidemia and gavaged with MP.Body mass, serum lipid content, serum antioxidant index, and liver pathological changes of rats in each group were measured.Results showed that the molecular weight of MP was mainly distributed in 2-45 kDa, the content of galacturonic acid was 66.51% and the degree of esterification was 13.43%.The molar ratio of rhamnose, galacturonic acid, glucose, galactose, and arabinose was 0.60∶9.35∶0.58∶1.14∶0.96.Infrared spectrum analysis showed that MP had typical characteristic absorption peaks of polysaccharides, contained a pyranose ring, and had certain antioxidant capacity.In vivo hypolipidemic experiments showed that MP could alleviate mass gain in HFD-fed rats (P<0.05), reduce the increase of serum total triglycerides, total cholesterol, and low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels caused by HFD (P<0.05), increase the level of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (P<0.05), and improve the antioxidant status (P<0.05).MP also decreased the content of malondialdehyde (P<0.05) and reduced liver injury caused by HFD.Therefore, MP is an acidic polysaccharide with a low esterification degree, which has a strong antioxidant capacity and a significant hypolipidemic effect.This study provides data support for the systematic study of the physical and chemical properties and biological activity of commercial MP, and to provide ideas for MP to develop natural functional products.
