High-Efficiency Production of Auricularia polytricha Polysaccharides Through Yellow Slurry Water Fermentation and Its Structure and Antioxidant Properties

Abstract

Yellow slurry water is a kind of nutrient-rich wastewater of tofu. Firstly, the medium of yellow slurry was optimized. Then, APP40, APP60, and APP80 were obtained by sedimentation with different concentration of ethanol (40, 60, and 80%). The physicochemical properties and primary structures of the three polysaccharides were studied by high performance anion exchange chromatography (HPAEC), high performance gel filtration chromatography (HPGFC), scanning electron microscope (SEM), atomic force microscope (AFM), and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrometer. Finally, the effects of three polysaccharides on antioxidation activity were studied. According to the experimental optimization the results, the biomass and the production of Auricularia polytricha Polysaccharides (APPS) reached the peak, and they were 13.5 ±.655 and 9.42 ±.253 g/L (p
