Abstract
Resin AB-8 was screened from seven resins with different polarity and particle size because of its better decoloration and deproteinization efficiency to polysaccharide from the root of Actinidia valvata (AvPs), and then the optimized parameter conditions were applied by the single-factor experiments and were shown as follows: a concentration of crude polysaccharide of 3 mg/mL, an adsorption time of 40 min, an initial pH of 7.0, a flow rate of 1.5 BV/h. In addition, the results of HPGPC, FT-IR, PMP-HPLC-DAD, 1 H NMR and Congo red test showed that the sugar chain, structural group, monosaccharide composition and triple-helix conformation structure of AvPs were not broken during resin AB-8 treatment. Moreover, AvPs could keep the stability of biological activity after the resin AB-8 treatment, and revealed an obviously antioxidant and anticancer activities in vitro as well. This research suggests that this method is promising for the deproteinization and decolorization of AvPs which could be explored as a potential antioxidant or anticancer agent for use in functional food or medicine.
