Abstract
The extraction of Rosa roxburghii polysaccharides using conventional methods suffers from low extraction efficiency and poor selectivity. Recently, green and efficient methods of polysaccharide extraction have received increasing attention. In this study, a CO2-responsive ionic liquid (IL) was developed for the extraction of Rosa roxburghii polysaccharides. This IL can achieve efficient extraction, and can be recycled, and reused in the extraction process. The maximum polysaccharide extraction yield of the IL was 253 mg/g under optimal single-factor experiment conditions. Three fractionated polysaccharides, RTFP-1, RTFP-2, and RTFP-3, were obtained by further purification, and their preliminary structures were characterized. RTFP-2 and RTFP-3 showed higher antioxidant and hypoglycemic activities than RTFP-1. This IL maintains high extraction efficiency after 5 cycles and reuse. This extraction method based on a CO2-responsive IL provides an efficient and sustainable method for polysaccharide extraction.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Biological Macromolecules is a well-established international journal dedicated to research on the chemical and biological aspects of natural macromolecules. Focusing on proteins, macromolecular carbohydrates, glycoproteins, proteoglycans, lignins, biological poly-acids, and nucleic acids, the journal presents the latest findings in molecular structure, properties, biological activities, interactions, modifications, and functional properties. Papers must offer new and novel insights, encompassing related model systems, structural conformational studies, theoretical developments, and analytical techniques. Each paper is required to primarily focus on at least one named biological macromolecule, reflected in the title, abstract, and text.
