Abstract:
In this study, Chinese yam polysaccharide (CYP) was fermented by Saccharomyces cerevisiae CICC 32883, and its structural features and antioxidant activities before and after fermentation were analyzed. S. cerevisiae CICC 32883-fermented CYP (CYP-SC) had higher carbohydrate content and lower protein content than the nonfermented CYP (CYP-NF). The monosaccharide composition of CYP-SC was unaffected, but the proportion was changed. Compared with CYP-NF's molecular weight and polydispersity of 124.774 kDa and 6.58, respectively, those of CYP-SC were reduced to 20.384 kDa and 3.379. Antioxidant results showed that CYP-SC had better effects than CYP-NF in scavenging DPPH, ABTS, hydroxyl, and superoxide radicals. Moreover, CYP-SC showed better activities in enhancing oxidation capacity and protecting HepG2 cells than CYP-NF. Furthermore, the effects of CYP-SC on alleviating and repairing H2O2-damaged HepG2 cells are superior to those of CYP-NF. This work offers a green and efficient method for enhancing the antioxidant activity of dietary plant polysaccharides.
