Abstract
Polysaccharides are the main nutritional constituents in the Armillaria mellea fruiting bodies. The structure and immunoactivity of Armillaria mellea polysaccharide are valuable to be determined for development. In the present study, two polysaccharides, including Armillaria mellea neutral polysaccharide (AMPN) and Armillaria mellea acidic polysaccharide (AMPA), were prepared and determined. AMPN and AMPA were separated and refined by the ion exchange column and gel chromatographycolumn. Analysis of AMPN and AMPA revealed molecular weights of 4.432 × 103 Da and 7.323 × 103 Da. The monosaccharide composition analysis revealed that AMPN was mainly composed of 68.3%glucose, while AMPA consisted primarily of glucose, mannose, and galactose, accompanied by 8.9% galacturonic acid and 3% fucose. Then, infrared spectra analysis, Congo red staining, methylation, and NMR spectroscopy analysis were conducted as a means to clarify the structure of AMPN and AMPA. The NMR spectra demonstrated that the two polysaccharides included both α and β-configuration glycosidic bonds. The Congo red experiment suggests that AMPN and AMPA all had obvious triple helix structures.The effects of AMPN and AMPA on immune repair ability were compared by immune deficiency mice. The activity experiment showed that AMPN and acidic polysaccharides extracted from the Armillaria fruiting body have biological immune activity. Among them, AMPA showed higher immune activity. These findings suggest that Armillaria mellea fruiting bodies may be used as a source of dietary supplements and functional products.
期刊介绍:
Separations (formerly Chromatography, ISSN 2227-9075, CODEN: CHROBV) provides an advanced forum for separation and purification science and technology in all areas of chemical, biological and physical science. It publishes reviews, regular research papers and communications. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. There are, in addition, unique features of this journal:
Manuscripts regarding research proposals and research ideas will be particularly welcomed.
Electronic files and software regarding the full details of the calculation and experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material.
Manuscripts concerning summaries and surveys on research cooperation and projects (that are funded by national governments) to give information for a broad field of users.
The scope of the journal includes but is not limited to:
Theory and methodology (theory of separation methods, sample preparation, instrumental and column developments, new separation methodologies, etc.)
Equipment and techniques, novel hyphenated analytical solutions (significantly extended by their combination with spectroscopic methods and in particular, mass spectrometry)
Novel analysis approaches and applications to solve analytical challenges which utilize chromatographic separations as a key step in the overall solution
Computational modelling of separations for the purpose of fundamental understanding and/or chromatographic optimization
