| Dictyophora indusiata polysaccharides (DIPs), the main bioactive component ofDictyophora indusiata, which was treated as dual-purpose plant of food and medicine,was greatly valuable for exploitation and utilization. In order to improve the yield ofDIPs, and develop a new efficient and time-saving extraction process, responsesurface methodology (RSM) based on Box-Behnken design (BBD) was employed tooptimize the enzyme-assisted extraction procedure of the polysaccharides from stipeof Dictyophora indusiata. And the procedure was compared with the traditionalhot-water extraction process. Further, the hot-water extraction and enzyme-assistedextraction process were adopted to obtain the polysaccharides from stipe and bacteriaskirt of Dictyophora indusiata, and the polysaccharides were characterized byinfrared (FT-IR) and transmission electron microscopy characterization (TEM), thenthe radical scavenging activities of DPPH·and O2-·and reducing power were adoptedto test the antioxidant ability of different polysaccharides in vitro.The enzyme-assisted extraction procedure of DIPs was adopted, and theprocedure was optimized by RSM, then the optimal conditions were obtained:cellulose, papain and pectolyase concentration were2.0%(wt.%of D. indusiatapowder),2.0%and1.5%. And extraction temperature, extraction time and pH were52.5°C,105min and5.25, respectively. Under these conditions, the experimentalyield of polysaccharides was9.77%.Dictyophora indusiata polysaccharides were characterized to analyze the effect ofdifferent extraction methods on the structure and morphology of polysaccharides. Theresults of characterization showed were as follows: the FT-IR spectra ofenzyme-assisted extraction of polysaccharides than hot-water extraction in hydroxyl,pyranoside and carbonyl, etc. showed a stronger absorption peak; and from the TEMspectra, the round molecules particles of polysaccharides extracted byenzyme-assisted extraction were larger than them from hot-water extraction. Thecharacterization results confirmed the advantages of enzyme-assisted extractionmethod.The radical scavenging activities of DPPH·and O2-·and reducing power wereadopted to compare the antioxidant ability of different Dictyophora indusiata polysaccharides. DPPH·and O2-·radical scavenging and reducing power test resultsshowed that: the antioxidant ability of enzymatic extraction polysaccharides wasbetter than hot-water extraction polysaccharides. Between them, the enzymaticextraction bacteria skirt polysaccharides possessed the best antioxidant activity: whenthe polysaccharides concentration was1.0mg/mL, the radical scavenging rate onDPPH·was86.94%; the absorbance at700nm could up to0.387; when thepolysaccharides concentration was2.0mg/mL, the radical scavenging rate on O2-·was33.41%. In contrast, DIPs’ radical scavenging on DPPH·and reducing power werebetter quality, whereas their scavenging ability on O2-·were relatively weaker.Experimental results in this study showed that enzyme-assisted extractiontechnology can not only improve the polysaccharide yield and efficiency, but also canprotect the structure and biological activity of polysaccharides. |
