Structural characterization and hypolipidemic activity of Gracilaria lemaneiformis polysaccharide and its degradation products.

ABSTRACT: This research aimed to analyze structural characterization and hypolipidemic activity in vitro of G. lemaneiformis polysaccharide (GLP) and its degradation products. The results presented that the content of galacturonic acid declined and glucuronic acid level enhanced, average particle size decreased from 99.9 μm to 25.7 μm, and color brightness of polysaccharide strengthened after degraded by H₂O₂-Vc. There was no significant change in thermal stability of polysaccharide before and after degradation. It was observed in AFM analysis, polysaccharide changed to smaller, delicacy and dispersion after degradation. As seen in FT-IR, H₂O₂-Vc degradation never change the structure of polysaccharide. Polysaccharide and its degradation prod
