Abstract
Abstract This study explored the characterisation of polysaccharide fractions from raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) and evaluated their biological activities in vitro. Raspberry polysaccharides (RAPs) were extracted using a complex enzymatic method and subsequently separated via a DEAE-Sepharose fast-flow column, resulting in two fractions: RAP-1 and RAP-3. Structural analysis revealed that RAP-1 consisted of rhamnose (5.00%), arabinose (28.80%), galactose (18.90%), glucose (26.60%), xylose (2.30%), mannose (4.20%), and galacturonic acid (14.10%), while RAP-3 comprised rhamnose (12.20%), arabinose (28.40%), galactose (16.90%), glucose (6.40%), xylose (2.80%), and galacturonic acid (33.40%). RAP-1 was identified as a neutral polysaccharide (molecular weight: 1.96 × 104 Da), whereas RAP-3 was an acidic polysaccharide (molecular weights: 7.66 × 104 Da and 3.05 × 104 Da). Tertiary structure analysis indicated that neither fraction exhibited a triple-helix structure. Antioxidant assays demonstrated that RAP-3 displayed superior antioxidant activity and hypoglycemic effects compared to RAP-1. Both fractions exhibited mixed inhibition types against α-glucosidase. These findings suggest that RAP-3 holds significant promise for applications in the pharmaceutical and functional food industries.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Food Science & Technology (IJFST) is published for the Institute of Food Science and Technology, the IFST. This authoritative and well-established journal publishes in a wide range of subjects, ranging from pure research in the various sciences associated with food to practical experiments designed to improve technical processes. Subjects covered range from raw material composition to consumer acceptance, from physical properties to food engineering practices, and from quality assurance and safety to storage, distribution, marketing and use. While the main aim of the Journal is to provide a forum for papers describing the results of original research, review articles are also welcomed.
