Impact of Enzymatic Degradation Treatment on Physicochemical Properties, Antioxidant Capacity, and Prebiotic Activity of Lilium Polysaccharides.

ABSTRACT: In order to overcome the bioavailability limitation of Lilium polysaccharide (LPS) caused by its high molecular weight and complex structure, two low-molecular-weight degraded polysaccharides, namely G-LPS(8) and G-LPS(16), were prepared through enzymatic degradation. The molecular weight of LPS was significantly reduced by enzymolysis, leading to increased exposure of internal functional groups and altering the molar ratio of its constituent monosaccharides. The results of antioxidant experiments showed that enzymatic hydrolysis had the potential to enhance the antioxidant performance of LPS. In vitro fermentation experiments revealed that LPS and its derivatives exerted different prebiotic effects on intestinal microbial communities. Specifically, LPS mainly inhibited the g
