Study on content of polysaccharide during processing of Polygonatum sibiricum by RSM and PMP-HPLC characteristic map technology / 中草药

ABSTRACT

Objective: To investigate the best extracting conditions of Polygonatum sibiricum polysaccharides by single and compound enzymatic methods, and to study on the change content of polysaccharide in processing of P. sibiricum by steamed and shined for nine times, which provide theoretical basis for processing of P. sibiricum and other Chinese herbal medicines. Methods: Response surface method (RSM) was used to optimize the extraction of polysaccharides in P. sibiricum. PMP precolumn derivatization and HPLC characteristic map technology were used to identify and analyze the changes of polysaccharide of P. sibiricum being steamed and shined for nine times and establish polysaccharide characteristic map of P. sibiricum by ancient processing and distillate. The effect of different enzymes on the extraction efficacy of P. sibiricum polysaccharides was also compared. Results: The extracting effect of cellulase in single enzyme was the best. Moreover, cellulose and pectinase were also the most significant factor for extracting polysaccharides from P. sibiricum in four complex enzymes. The best extracting conditions for polysaccharide obtaining by RSM as follows Cellulase temperature was 51 ℃, cellulase dosage was 2%, and the total polysaccharide content was (675.34 ± 0.10) mg/g when the pH value of enzymolysis was 5.40. PMP-HPLC was used to detect four processed P. sibiricum, which contained mannose, ribose, rhamnose, glucose, and galactose. Glucose had a high proportion in P. odoratum, P. cyrtonema, and P. sibiricum polysaccharide, and P. filipes polysaccharide mainly composed of mannose. With the increase of processed times, the content of each monosaccharide increased first, then decreased, then increased and then tended to be stable. The content of mannose and galactose varied greatly. The content of monosaccharides in the distillate increased first and then stabilized, and the content changes of mannose and glucose were obvious. Conclusion: The extraction efficiency and purity of P. sibiricum polysaccharides can be improved by single and compound enzymatic extraction with cellulase, and the extraction yield of polysaccharide in P. sibiricum could be affected by steamed and shined for nine times. PMP-HPLC characteristic map technology can be used to determine the content of the polysaccharide in processing of P. sibiricum accurately and reproducibly, which can be used for the quality evaluation of P. sibiricum and other Chinese herbal medicines.
