Abstract

Euglena gracilis polysaccharide (EGP), as a new natural functional food, has attracted more and more attention.This study investigated the extraction yield, structural characterization, and in vitro antioxidant activity of EGP.The extraction yield EGP was optimized with ultrasonic-alkali extraction by Plackett-Burman and response surface design.The molecular weight, monosaccharide composition, group composition, microstructure, and antioxidant activity of EGP were analyzed using gel permeation chromatography (GPC), ion chromatography (IC), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and free radical scavenging tests.The optimum process conditions were as follows:the liquid-to-material ratio of 1∶40 (g∶mL), water bath temperature of 41 ℃, water bath time of 0.9 h, NaOH solution concentration of 1 mol/L, ultrasonic power of 120 W, and ultrasonic time of 3 min.Under these conditions, the extraction yield was (62.84±0.49)%.Results indicated that EGP was composed of 100% glucose and connected by β-glycosidic bonds, and the molecular weight were 2.13×104 Da.Antioxidant experiments demonstrated that EGP showed good antioxidant activity against ·OH, DPPH free radicals, ABTS cationic radicals, and ·O-2.The structural study of EGP provides a scientific theoretical basis for the continued development and utilization of Euglena gracilis.
