Abstract:

Cornstalk was used as raw material, from which cornstalk xylan was obtained by alkaline extraction and alcohol precipitation. Then a sulfated cornstalk xylan was synthesized by three sulfating methods (chlorosulfuric acid-pyridine method, sulfur trioxide-pyridine method and sodium sulfamate method). The structure of sulfated cornstalk xylan were characterized by IR and 13C NMR, and its antioxidant activity in vitro was further investigated. Structural characterization revealed that sulfate groups were successfully grafted onto cornstalk xylan. The results indicated that, the optimal conditions for sulfating were sodium sulfamate method at a reaction temperature of 45 ℃ for a sulfating time of 2.5 h. The degree of substitution (DS) of the sulfated cornstalk xylan thus obtained was 1.566. The results of in vitro antioxidant activities showed that, sulfated cornstalk xylan had scavenging ability on hydroxyl radicals in a dose-dependent manner, and sulfation could improve the antioxidant activity of cornstalk xylan.
