Abstract
In exocellular polysaccharides produced from lactic acid bacteria with bioactivity, phosphate groups in polysaccharide have been found to act as an active factor. This chapter introduces chemical dephosphorylation using HF by cleaving phosphate diester bonds in extracellular polysaccharides to clarify phosphorus group functions. After this operation, the purified dephospho-polysaccharide can be used for evaluation of bioactivity.
