This study was investigate that the antioxidant activity and composition of X. nigripes polysaccharide which separated by ethanol a precipitation. Four main polysaccharide fractions, XN-40, XN-50, XN-60 and XN-80 were purified from fermentation broth cultures of X. nigripes by fractional precipitation with gradient concentrations of ethanol (40%, 50%, 60% and 80%) and the antioxidant activities of different polysaccharide fractions were evaluated by ABTS radical scavenging, reducing power and DPPH radical scavenging assay in this study.The results indicated thatXN-40has the best effective on antioxidant assay. The IC50 value of ABTS radical scavenging was 699.16 mg/L, and DPPH radical scavenging was 1,300 mg/L, respectively. The FT-IR shows that XN-40 has more functional groups such as β-glycosidic linkage (890 cm-1), O-H bond (1650 cm-1), C-OH bending (1105 cm-1), C-O-C stretching(1047 to 1080 cm-1) which associated with antioxidant activity. Moreover, XN-40 (83.21%) exhibited the highest scavenging effect on ABTS radicals among all samples, followed by XN-60(81.26%), XN-80(75.91%) and XN-50(66.59%) at the concentration of 2,500 µg/mL.Further discussion of antioxidant activity on Human keratinocyte (HaCaT) cell in vitro that XN-40 cell viability about 86% that is 0.69 times than XN-80 at 200 µg/mL. Moreover, XN-40 can significantly reduce AAPH-induced ROS generation that is 0.84 times of XN-80 at 200 µg/mL. Comprehensive analysis results indicate that graded ethanol precipitation can effectively separate the polysaccharides which have antioxidant activity, so it can be widely applied in bioindustry.
