Attenuation of intestinal inflammation of polysaccharides from the seeds ofPlantago asiaticaL. as affected by ultrasonication

Ultrasound treatment was applied to modify the physicochemical properties of polysaccharides from the seeds of Plantago asiatica L. The initial polysaccharides concentration of 10 mg/mL, ultrasonic power of 800 W, and different treatment time (15 s, 30 s, 1 min, 2 min) were used. After irradiation, the average molecular weight (Mw) and polydispersity index of relative molecular mass (PID) of polysaccharides decreased. The apparent viscosity of...
