Abstract:

Centrifugation conditions for isolate exopolysaccharide produced by Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis, concentration multiple of exopolysaccharide solutiom via rotary evaporation, alcohol precipitation conditions and protein removal nethod were studied, as well as the antioxidant activity of the obtained exopolysaccharide by the above procedures. The results indicated that the yield of the exopolysaccharide can reach the highest under the centrifugation conditions of speed 6000 r/min, time 15 min and temperature 15 ℃, concentration multiple 4 times, alcohol precipitation conditions of 90% alcohol volume 3 times as much as exopolysaccharide solutiom and precipitation time 12 h, and concentration of TCA for removing protein 10%. The exopolysaccharide has distinct antioxidant ability in vitro.

Key words: Lactococcus lactis subsp.lactis, exopolysaccharide, isolation, antioxidant ability
