Abstract
Citrus reticulata Blanco peels are a common edible fruit peel, featuring rich nutritional properties and diverse physiological activities. It is rich in bioactive components such as polysaccharides, flavonoids, alkaloids, essential oils, and phenolic acids. Citrus reticulata Blanco peels polysaccharides (CrBpps) are among its major bioactive substances. CrBpps possess a variety of biological activities, including antioxidant, anti-liver steatosis, anti-obesity, and immune-enhancing effects. The extraction, purification, structural characterization and biological activity of CrBpps have been studied, but the research and discussion on more efficient extraction and purification methods, structural analysis methods, the relationship between structure and biological activity, toxicology are still relatively limited. This article reviews the extraction, purification, structural characterization, biological activities and other potential values of CrBpps, and elaborates the beneficial effects of CrBpps on health and its great potential in practical applications.
期刊介绍:
Carbohydrate Research publishes reports of original research in the following areas of carbohydrate science: action of enzymes, analytical chemistry, biochemistry (biosynthesis, degradation, structural and functional biochemistry, conformation, molecular recognition, enzyme mechanisms, carbohydrate-processing enzymes, including glycosidases and glycosyltransferases), chemical synthesis, isolation of natural products, physicochemical studies, reactions and their mechanisms, the study of structures and stereochemistry, and technological aspects.
Papers on polysaccharides should have a "molecular" component; that is a paper on new or modified polysaccharides should include structural information and characterization in addition to the usual studies of rheological properties and the like. A paper on a new, naturally occurring polysaccharide should include structural information, defining monosaccharide components and linkage sequence.
Papers devoted wholly or partly to X-ray crystallographic studies, or to computational aspects (molecular mechanics or molecular orbital calculations, simulations via molecular dynamics), will be considered if they meet certain criteria. For computational papers the requirements are that the methods used be specified in sufficient detail to permit replication of the results, and that the conclusions be shown to have relevance to experimental observations - the authors'' own data or data from the literature. Specific directions for the presentation of X-ray data are given below under Results and "discussion".
