Abstract
Polygonatum sibiricum is one of the most widely used plants in the Liliaceae family, renowned for its dual medicinal and edible properties. Polygonatum sibiricum polysaccharides, as the main pharmacological active ingredient of Polygonatum sibiricum, have various excellent physiological activities, such as antioxidant, immune enhancement, and hypoglycemic activities. Through extraction, purification, and structural analysis, the influence and mechanism of the molecular weight and glycosidic bonds of Polygonatum sibiricum polysaccharides on the pharmacological effects, as well as their structure-activity relationship, can be explored in more detail. With the increasing demand for Polygonatum sibiricum polysaccharide products, Polygonatum sibiricum has been widely used in the fields of medicine, food, and biochemistry, and various green and harmless products containing Polygonatum sibiricum polysaccharides have been developed for different populations. This study summarizes the extraction, structure, and function of Polygonatum sibiricum polysaccharides, and it further explores their applications in the food industry, including in beverages, health foods, additives, and food packaging. Overall, Polygonatum sibiricum polysaccharides have been proven to be a promising natural product and have been introduced into the food system. It is worth mentioning that further efforts and time are needed in the future to expand the deep processing of and feasibility research on Polygonatum sibiricum polysaccharides while exploring their bioactive molecular mechanisms in depth, laying the foundation for their product development and clinical applications.
期刊介绍:
Molecules (ISSN 1420-3049, CODEN: MOLEFW) is an open access journal of synthetic organic chemistry and natural product chemistry. All articles are peer-reviewed and published continously upon acceptance. Molecules is published by MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. Our aim is to encourage chemists to publish as much as possible their experimental detail, particularly synthetic procedures and characterization information. There is no restriction on the length of the experimental section. In addition, availability of compound samples is published and considered as important information. Authors are encouraged to register or deposit their chemical samples through the non-profit international organization Molecular Diversity Preservation International (MDPI). Molecules has been launched in 1996 to preserve and exploit molecular diversity of both, chemical information and chemical substances.
