Abstract
ABSTRACT Alcalase enzyme (1 mg) and ultrasound (400 W) at 0–20 min were applied to obtain sulfated polysaccharides from yellowfin skin. Applying 15 min ultrasound resulted in a 0.12% increase in the rate of recovery yield. The intact structure of polysaccharides was determined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometry, and scanning electron microscope. Ultrasound improved the thermal behavior of sulfated polysaccharides by affecting their microstructure, as analyzed by DSC. The color characterization (L*, a*, and b*) of ultrasound-treated samples was found to be superior compared to the control. Applying 15 min led to 16% and 9% enhancing DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities along with improving ferric-reducing antioxidant power of the polysaccharide.
