Abstract: | Five polysaccharide samples, coded as RPS1, RPS2, RPS3, RPS4, and RPS5, were isolated stepwise from Rhizoma Panacis Japonici (RPJ) by using 0.15 M NaCl aqueous solution at 25 °C, boiling water at 120 °C, 0.5 M NaOH/0.01 M NaBH4 at 10 °C, 1.0 M NaOH/0.02 M NaBH4 at 10 °C, and 19 M HCOOH at 4 °C, respectively. The yields were 0.39%, 1.08%, 2.41%, 0.32%, and 0.04% for RPS1 to RPS5, respectively. The chemical structures of the polysaccharides were highly branched α-(1→4)-d-glucan heteropolysaccharides and the values of degree of branch (DB) were in the range of 35-45% for RPS1 to RPS5. All of the polysaccharides were water soluble, and their solubility decreased from RPS1 to RPS5. The weight average molecular mass were 3.5 × 104, 1.47 × 105, 1.24 × 106, 9.26 × 105, and 1.36 × 106 for RPS1 to RPS5, respectively. |
