The effect of different temperatures (45, 55, 65, and $75^{\circ}C$) on the extraction of ${\beta}$-glucan and the properties of extracted ${\beta}$-glucan were investigated with four different varieties of barley. Jeju naked barley, blue barley, beer barley, and black barley contained 6.85, 5.13, 3.58, and 4.16% of ${\beta}$-glucan, respectively. ${\beta}$-glucan in barley was extracted in the range of 64.88 to 93.84% depending on the extraction temperature and barley variety. The ${\beta}$-glucans in Jeju naked barley, Jeju blue barley, and black barley were optimally extracted at $65^{\circ}C$ for 3 h and Jeju beer barley at $75^{\circ}C$. The extracted ${\beta}$-glucan resolubilized to 43.48-81.73% and the ratio of ${\beta}(1{\rightarrow}3)$ to ${\beta}(1{\rightarrow}4)$ linkage was in the range of 1:3.8-5.8. These results suggest that purification and properties of ${\beta}$-glucan depend not only on the water extraction temperature, but also on the barley variety.

Reactive oxygen species(ROS) can induce hepatotoxicity and trigger apoptosis in the liver. In this study, we investigated the sulfated polysaccharide A-1 from Opuntia ficus-indica against alcoholic oxidative stress in human liver Hep G2 cell. An antioxidant substance A-1 obtained from the enzymatic extract of Opuntia ficus-indica fruit was purified by DEAE-cellulose ion exchange and sephadex G-100 gel permeation chromatography. The purification yield and molecular weight were 14.3% and 1.8 KDa, respectively. The A-1 predominately contained arabinose, galactose, rhamnose and also sulfate group. The structure of A-1 was investigated by periodate oxidation, FT-IR spectroscopy, $^1H$-NMR spectroscopy. The A-1 mainly composed of alternating unit of ${\rightarrow}4$)-$\alpha$-L- Rapp-2-$SO_3^-$-$\alpha$-L-Galp-($1{\rightarrow}$ and branched linkage of $\beta$-D-Arbp- ($5{\rightarrow}$. The antioxidative activity was measured using the SOD, CAT activity and GSH assay, respectively. The expression of Nrf2 protein was analyzed by western blotting. The viable cell count analyzed by autofluorescence. Oxidative stress induced by ethanol(1 M) were dramatically reduced by A-1 treatment. A-1 also prevented cell death induced by oxidative stress. It also increased expression Nrf2 protein level. We concluded that sulfated polysaccharide A-1 from Opuntia ficus-indica effectively protect Hep G2 liver cell from alcoholic oxidative stress.

영지 균사체의 액체 배양에 의하여 생산된 세포의 다당시료 분획 중 우수한 항암활성을 나타내었던 산성분획인 BWS-DA-GI의 구조를 균사체 유래의 산성 다당 분획(MWS-DA-GI)과 비교하면서 조사하였다. BWS-DA-GI의 구성성분을 검토한 결과, 다량의 glucose, mannose 및 galactose와 미량의 xylose 및 fucose를 함유하였으며, glucose, galactose 및 mannose의 몰비는 2.5:2.1:2.5이었다. 반면, 균사체 유래의 산성 다당 분획인 MWS-DA-GI는 다량의 galactose, fucose, mannose 및 glucose와 미량의 xylose를 함유하였다. 또 BWS-DA-GI의 구조를 균사체 유래의 다당 분획인 MWS-DA-GI와 비교하면서 과요오드 산화, Smith분해, affinity chromatography 및 메칠화 분석으로 조사한 결과, 두 시료 모두 ${\beta}-1,3-glucan$이었고, BWS-DA-GI는 1,6분지를 보유하고 있는 반면, MWS-DA-GI는 1,4 및 1,6분지를 함께 보유하는 것으로 추정되었으며, 분자량은 각각 1,200,000 및 1,000,000 dalton이었다.
