Abstract
Polygonatum sibiricum, famous for its physiological activities, is a popular Chinese food and also a traditional Chinese herb containing many carbohydrates as the main component. However, except the most reported polysaccharides, other detailed compositions of carbohydrates were still not clear. To verify the controversial existence of starch and investigate other components especially about oligosaccharides, we used iodine-potassium iodide colorimetric detection and enzymatic hydrolysis to determine starch. Then, oligosaccharides were analyzed by thin-layer chromatography (TLC), gel permeation chromatography (GPC), high-performance anion exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection (HPAEC-PAD), and hydrophilic interaction chromatography-electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (HILIC-ESI-MS/MS). Results showed that the rhizome of Polygonatum sibiricum lacked starch, and fructo-oligosaccharides were the main component, accounting for about 28.95%. Oligosaccharides with degrees of polymerization above 10 were the most abundant components. This study clearly illustrated the unknown carbohydrate components of Polygonatum rhizome, promoting its functional value with new evidence.
期刊介绍:
Food quality and safety are the main targets of investigation in food production. Therefore, reliable paths to detect, identify, quantify, characterize and monitor quality and safety issues occurring in food are of great interest.
Food Quality and Safety is an open access, international, peer-reviewed journal providing a platform to highlight emerging and innovative science and technology in the agro-food field, publishing up-to-date research in the areas of food quality and safety, food nutrition and human health. It promotes food and health equity which will consequently promote public health and combat diseases.
The journal is an effective channel of communication between food scientists, nutritionists, public health professionals, food producers, food marketers, policy makers, governmental and non-governmental agencies, and others concerned with the food safety, nutrition and public health dimensions.
The journal accepts original research articles, review papers, technical reports, case studies, conference reports, and book reviews articles.
