Abstract
Ginger leaves are often discarded in agriculture, exacerbating continuous cropping obstacles. Polysaccharide, due to their low toxicity and diverse bioactivities, have garnered considerable interest. To isolate ginger leaf polysaccharide (GLP), we compared three extraction methods: hot water extraction, ultrasonic-assisted hot water extraction, and ultrasonic-assisted aqueous two-phase system extraction. Response surface methodology optimization revealed ultrasonic-assisted hot water extraction as the most efficient method, achieving a yield of 9.31 % under a liquid-solid ratio of 30 mL/g and an ultrasonic power of 150 W at 65 ℃ for 22 min. Polysaccharide from different extraction methods showed difference in monosaccharide composition and molecular weight. The ginger leaf polysaccharide demonstrated strong antioxidant in vitro and hypolipidemic activities in Caenorhabditis elegans, and that from the ultrasonic-assisted hot water method showed the highest bioactivity. These findings highlight ultrasonic-assisted hot water extraction as the optimal method for efficient extraction of GLP and discover GLP’s potential for pharmaceutical and functional food applications.
