Benefits of technology

This method enables the production of a high concentration of glycogen from various plant materials, enhancing liver function and potentially offering anti-tumor activity, with the glycogen being highly water-soluble and suitable for use in food compositions and dietary supplements.

Problems solved by technology

Furthermore, complicated steps, such as conversion or elimination of protecting groups, liberation of a specific hydroxyl group, or the like, are required.
Therefore, it is not easy to chemically synthesize polysaccharide sugar chains.
There was no known technique for synthesis of sugar chains which can be generally applied to various substrate materials irrespective of their types.

Preparation of Panax Notoginseng Extract

[0057]91 kg of granules (2 to 3 mmφ) of Panax notoginseng, 9 kg of citric acid and 550 L of water were placed in a tank with a pressure device, followed by heating at 90 to 96° C. for one hour. Thereafter, the mixture was kept under a pressure of 1.1 kgf / cm2 for one hour. The resultant reaction solution was subjected to filtration using a pressure filtration apparatus having NA500 filter paper. The resultant extract solution was aliquoted. Thereafter, 700 L of 45 wt % ethanol solution was added to the Panax notoginseng extract residue, followed by heating with reflux at 65° C. for 2 hours. The resultant reaction solution was subjected to filtration using a pressure filtration apparatus having NA500 filter paper and the ethanol extract solution was aliquoted. The thus-obtained citric acid extract solution and ethanol extract solution were mixed together and condensed. The resultant condensed solution was subjected to spray drying, resulting in ...

Study on Conditions for Production of Glycogen

[0060]175 mL of water, 30 to 35 g of Panax notoginseng unprocessed tissue, and citric acid corresponding to 9 wt % of the Panax notoginseng unprocessed tissue were added to each of four Erlenmeyer flask, which were in turn covered with food wrapping film, followed by boiling under a pressure of 1.1 to 1.2 kgf / cm2 for 10 min, 20 min, 35 min, and 60 min, respectively, in an autoclave. Each reaction product was allowed to cool. The solution portion of the reaction product was centrifuged (3,000 rpm, 5 min) to obtain an extract solution. Precipitation residue was returned to the Erlenmeyer flask still containing the original Panax notoginseng unprocessed tissue. 200 mL of 50% ethanol solution was added to the flask, which was in turn fitted with a reflux condenser, and the solution was heated at 85° C. for 1 to 1.5 hours. The resultant heated solution was allowed to cool, followed by centrifugation (5,000 rpm, 10 min). The ethanol extraction...

[0062]Glycogen production rates were compared by varying citric acid concentration under the pressure conditions obtained in Example 2 (i.e., 1.1 to 1.2 kgf / cm2, 35 min). The same procedure as that of Example 2 was carried out, except that the citric acid concentration was changed to 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9% relative to the material. The results are shown in Table 2. As shown in Table 2, in the case of the 9% citric acid addition, the glycogen production rate was the highest 41.4%. Next, glycogen production rates were compared by varying pressure time.

Abstract

A method of producing glycogen is provided. The method comprises the step of heat- and pressure-treating a sugar-containing material under acidic conditions. The sugar-containing material is a polysaccharide or an oligosaccharide. Alternatively, the sugar-containing material is a plant material selected from the group consisting of Panax notoginseng, Yun Nan San-chi powder (trademark), Panax ginseng, wheat flour, soybean, soy flour, shiitake, and coffee extract residue. Representatively, the glycogen includes a molecule having a molecular weight of 10,000 or less. The glycogen has a specific rotation of [α]D+197° and anomeric proton peaks at 5.37 ppm and 4.95 to 5.33 ppm in 1H NMR spectra.
