Abstract:

The tea polysaccharids (TPS)-Ⅱ with antioxidant activity was isolated from the water extract of Liu'an roasted green tea by chromatography. The compositions of TPS-II were identified by electrophoresis and FPLC (fast protein liquid chromatography). The molecular weight of TPS-Ⅱ is 1.01×105 D, and its contents of total saccharide, uronic acid and protein are 85.3%, 28.0% and 2.8% respectively. GC analysis showed that TPS- Ⅱ is composed of L-Rha, L-Fuc, L-Ara, D-Xyl, DMan, D-Glc and D-Gal in molar ratio of 2.98:1.58:4.27:1.00:1.82:2.25:6.98. The IR spectrum of TPS-Ⅱ also presents the peak of polysaccharide absorption characteristics. Furthermore, β-elimination reaction demonstrated that the polysaccharide in TPS- Ⅱ is linked to peptide chains via non-O-glycosidic linkage.
