Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of plant polysaccharide technology, specifically relating to a method for preparing saponin polysaccharide. Background Technology

[0002] Soapberry (Gleditsia sinensis) is a tree species endemic to my country, belonging to the genus Gleditsia of the Caesalpiniaceae family. Its seeds are long and flat, with an uneven surface, reddish-brown or purplish-red in color, covered with a grayish-white powdery bloom that leaves a glossy sheen after rubbing. They are slightly pointed at both ends, hard in texture, and rich in polysaccharides and proteins. Soapberry also contains various saponins, as well as fisetin, chalcogenin, betulinic acid, betulin, and senna ketones. Soapberry can be used as a traditional Chinese medicine ingredient, possessing the effects of clearing the orifices and resolving phlegm, dispersing nodules and reducing swelling, moistening dryness and promoting bowel movements; it is classified as an emetic.

[0003] Extracting saponins, triterpenoids, and saponin flavonoids from soapberry is currently a hot research topic. However, there are few reports on the extraction and utilization of polysaccharides from soapberry. Soapberry is hard, and its polysaccharides are mostly stored inside the hard interior. Traditional crushing and chemical extraction methods yield very low polysaccharide yields. The functions of soapberry polysaccharides are also rarely studied. Yu Ming et al. published a study on the preservation of sweet persimmons using a soapberry polysaccharide coating. Under low-temperature conditions, coating with a 1% soapberry polysaccharide solution and PE film packaging significantly delayed the decline in fruit firmness, maintaining a fruit firmness greater than 8 kg / m² after 60 days of storage. 2 During storage, the carotenoid content of the fruit increases. Although saponin polysaccharides have a good preservation effect on sweet persimmons, their effect on other fruits and vegetables is not good, and further improvement of the bioactivity of saponin polysaccharide extract is needed. Whether saponin polysaccharides have other biological activities is also rarely reported. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for preparing saponin polysaccharides.
