PG - 117796 LID - S0144-8617(21)00183-1 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.carbpol.2021.117796 [doi] AB - The polysaccharide (DRP) was gained from dandelion roots by ultrasonic-assisted enzymatic extraction (UAEE) followed by two-step column purification. Then selenylation of DRP has been accomplished by HNO(3)-Na(2)SeO(3) method. sDRP-1 and sDRP-2 with the selenium content of 170 +/- 1.13 and 710 +/- 4.00 mug/g were prepared for further structural characterization and bioactivity determination. DRP, sDRP-1, and sDRP-2 were composed of the same monosaccharides in different molar ratios, and the molecular weights of DRP, sDRP-1 and sDRP-2 were 8700, 7900, and 5600 Da, respectively. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra confirmed that DRP, sDRP-1, and sDRP-2 possessed similar functional groups. The results of Congo red test, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that DRP, sDRP-1, and sDRP-2 had no three helix structure, did not form single crystal, and all belonged to amorphous morphology. sDRP-1 and sDRP-2 possessed greater antioxidant activities in vitro than the native polysaccharide DRP. At the same time, the selenized polysaccharides showed better immunomodulatory ability and could be used as new-type immunoenhancer. The present conclusions provided theoretical basis for the new application of dandelion polysaccharides and the development of dandelion resources. CI - Copyright (c) 2021. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
