Structural characterisation and immunomodulatory activity of a polysaccharide isolated from lotus (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn.) root residues

An active water-soluble lotus root polysaccharide (LRP) with average molecular weight of 1.24 × 104 Da was purified from lotus (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn.) root residues. The structure of LRP was determined to be α-D-(1 → 4)-linked glucopyranosyl moieties with non-reducing terminal α-D-Glcp at O-6 as...
