Effect of Irradiation on Structural Changes of Levan.

ABSTRACT: Levan, as a biocompatible and renewable biopolymer with anticancer properties, is a promising candidate for a wide range of applications in various fields of industry. However, in the literature, there is a lack of information about its behavior under the influence of UV irradiation, which may limit its potential application, including medical science. Therefore, this study describes the effects of irradiation on the structural properties of levan. This type of fructan was subjected to stability tests under radiation conditions using LED and polychromatic lamps. The results showed that the photodegradation of levan irradiated with a polychromatic light occurs faster and more efficiently than the photodegradation of levan irradiated with an LED lamp. Furthermore, AFM analysis showed that th
