Antioxidant and Hypolipidemic Activities of Acid-Depolymerised Exopolysaccharides by Termitomyces albuminosus

The acid-depolymerised exopolysaccharides (ADES) of Termitomyces albuminosus were obtained, and the major fraction of ADES1 was isolated and purified by DEAE-52 cellulose anion-exchange column chromatography. Physicochemical characterizations showed that ADES1 was an α - and a β -configuration with the molecular weight of 2.43 kDa, containing (1→3, 4)-linked-Glc p , (1→4)-linked-D-Glc p , (1→3)-linked-D-Xyl p , (1→4)-linked-D-Man p , T-Glc p ,...
