Abstract

Yam polysaccharides(YPs)have important biological activities. The polysaccharides were extracted from Bang yam and Xiaobaizui yam by the ultrasound-assisted hot water extraction method. The proteins were removed from the crude yam polysaccharide by enzymatic hydrolysis. The structure of YPs was characterized by using asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation coupled online with multiangle light scattering detector and differential refractive index detector(AF4-MALS-dRI), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and Congo red experiment. The effect of Berry and Debye models on the accuracy of the characterization results of YPs(i.e., molar mass and radius of gyration)was investigated. Furthermore, the antioxidant activity of YPs was studied. The results suggested that the two YPs had a β-D-pyran ring structure. The Bang YP(BYP)had a relatively loose triple helix structure.
