Abstract:

The stagewise degradation process of G. heterophylla polysaccharide gum assisted by microwave was studied. Through the coupling of microwave treatment with strong oxidizer and KOH, as well as β-mannanase hydrolysis, the high viscosity of the gum was degraded to a lower level, with the concentration increasing from 1% to 10 %. After β-mannanase hydrolyzing the gum for 24 h, the content of galacto-mannan-oligosaccharides is up to 73.8%, while the content of monosaccharide is 26.23%.

Key words: G. heterophylla polysaccharide gum, microwave, coupling, viscosity reduction technology
