Abstract
Polysaccharides are ubiquitous biomolecules found in nature that contain various biological and pharmacological activities that are employed in functional foods and therapeutic agents. Natural polysaccharides are obtained mainly by extraction and purification, which may serve as reliable procedures to enhance the quality and the yield of polysaccharide products. Moreover, structural analysis of polysaccharides proves to be promising and crucial for elucidating structure–activity relationships. Therefore, this report summarizes the recent developments and applications in extraction, separation, purification, and structural analysis of polysaccharides of plants and fungi.
Highlights
Polysaccharides are polymers comprising monosaccharide residues connected by glycosidic bonds
[10], we review the more recent progress in the development of holistic processes for polysaccharides have been reported by Lei [10], we review the more recent progress in the polysaccharide including separation, purification, and structure analysis
Recent research suggests that the ultrasonic extraction method could significantly improve the rate of polysaccharide dissolution, whereas prolonged exposure to ultrasound may change the advanced structure of polysaccharides and affect the biological activity
