Abstract
Bletilla striata polysaccharides (BSP) have attracted extensive research interest due to their potential medical application. Herein, infrared-assisted technique is employed for the first time to extract BSP from B. striata (Thunb.) Reichb.f. based on a Box-Behnken design (BBD) and response surface methodology, with the optimum extraction parameters as follows: 75°C extraction temperature, 2.5h extraction time; and water to solid ratio (53ml/g). Based on it, 43.95±0.26% yield of crude BSP was obtained. Subsequently, crude BSP was further decolorized, deproteinized, freeze-dried, and purified by a DEAE-52 cellulose column. Furthermore, the micro-structure and a triple-helical structure of BSP were characterized. Fourier transform infrared spectra confirmed its polysaccharide characterization via typical peaks. In addition, the significant in vitro antioxidant profiles of BSP were demonstrated by superoxide anion radical-scavenging assay, hydroxyl radical scavenging assay, DPPH free radical scavenging activity and chelation of ferrous ions. Taken together, this study provide an efficient extraction technique for BSP as a promising natural antioxidant.
