Abstract: Sacha Inchi soluble dietary fiber (SISDF) was evaluated for its antioxidant and immunological activity. The structure of SISDF was identified by ion chromatography, gel chromatography and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The results showed that the relative molecular weight of SISDF was 4.01×105 Da, which is a large polysaccharide with pyranose as the main chain. Among the monosaccharide composition, galacturonic acid had the largest content (46.49%), followed by rhamnose (18.95%), xylose (17.60%) and galactose (11.25%), etc. When the mass concentration of SISDF was 2 mg/mL, the scavenging rate of DPPH radicals was 68.57%, hydroxyl radicals was 69.83% and ABTS+ radicals was 70.35%. In the mass concentration range of 62.5~1000 μg/mL, SISDF enhanced the proliferative and phagocytic activities of RAW264.7 macrophages (P<0.01) and increased the secretion levels of NO, IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α factors in RAW264.7 macrophages. Sacha Inchi soluble dietary fiber has good antioxidant activity and immune activity, and has the potential to be developed as a natural food antioxidant and anti-inflammatory nutraceutical.
