An acidic polysaccharide fraction that had high anti-complementary activity was isolated from the stems of Grey Mangrove in 0.15% yield. The final fractions was designated HAM-3-IIb-II. The polysaccharide fraction appeared to be homogenous by high performance size exclusion chromatography with an estimated molecular weight of 105 kDa. The isolated polysaccharide is more effective than polysaccharide K (PSK) in its anti-complementary activity at 58 ${\mu}g/ml$ of PSK and 23 ${\mu}g/ml$ of HAM-3-IIb-II that inhibit 50% of complement activity in the complement fixation assay. Structural studies indicated that HAM-3-IIb-II was rich in galacturonic acid along with arabinose, galactose and rhamnose, characterizing a pectin-type polysaccharide, which was also confirmed by FT-IR spectrum. The presence of rich neutral sugar side chains of arabinogalactans may have contributed to the expression of high activity. Traditionally, this mangrove plant is used for medicinal purposes and it appears to have some scientific applications.

Moth bean (MB), navy bean (NB), soybean (SB)에서 분리된 arabinogalactans (AGs)의 성분과 유변학적 성질을 조사하였다. AGs의 주성분은 갈락토즈(galactose)와 아라비노즈(arabinose)로 총합이 약 59-89%를 나타내었고 갈락토즈와 아라비노즈의 비율(G/A)은 MB는 0.21, NB는 0.38, SB는 1.09로 계산되었다. 유변학적 거동을 살펴보기 위하여 1-5% (w/v) AG 용액들의 전단속도(shear rate) $0.1-100s^{-1}$에 따르는 전단응력(shear stress)을 측정하였을 때 MB의 경우 항복점(yield stress)이 없었으나, 5% NB 용액에서는 2.10 Pa, 2.5% SB용액에서는 1.98 Pa의 항복점이 각각 측정되었다. 순환 전단 측정 결과 5% MB 용액의 경우는 점성도는 전단 속도가 증가할 때에 비해 감소할 때 더 큰 값을 나타내어 rheopexy인 유변학적 성질이 나타났다. 반면 5% NB와 SB 용액의 유변학적 성질은 전단속도가 증가할 때의 점성도가 감소할 때의 점성도보다 더 큰 값을 가지는 thixotrophy로 나타났다. 저장탄성률(G'), 손실탄성률(G")을 측정한 결과 MB 분산액은 탄성율이, NB 분산액은 점성율이 높게 나타났고 SB 분산액은 비교적 낮은 농도에서는 탄성율이 비교적 높은 농도에서는 점성율이 크게 나타났다. 사전전단(pre-shearing)을 $500s^{-1}$에서 600초 동안 가공 후에 실시한 진동 테스트로 AGs의 구조 회복을 살펴본 결과 MB 5% 용액은 G', G" 모두 감소하였고 특히 탄성 부분이 많이 감소하였다. NB 5% 용액의 G'는 감소하였으나 MB에 비하여 그 폭은 작았고 G"는 거의 변화가 없었다. SB 2.5% 용액의 G', G" 모두 증가하는 현상을 나타내었다. AGs 용액의 전단 응력과 진동수에 따라 나타나는 점성 및 탄성의 변화 현상을 이용하여 식품 및 약품 제조에 첨가제 및 가소제로서 물질의 특성을 결정하는데 도움을 줄 수 있다. MB, NB, SB 물질의 유변학적 거동과 화학적 구조 관계를 밝히기 위하여 알디톨 아세테이트 결합 분석과 NMR분석(de Oliveira 등, 2013; Wang 등, 2015)을 통한 분자구조연구를 추가적으로 진행하고자 한다.

Arabinogalactans have diverse biological properties and can be used as pharmaceutical agents. Most arabinogalactans are composed of β-(1→3)-galactan, so it is particularly important to identify β-1,3-galactanases that can selectively degrade them. In this study, a novel exo-β-1,3-galactanase, named PoGal3, was screened from Penicillium oxalicum sp. 68, and hetero-expressed in P. pastoris GS115 as a soluble protein. PoGal3 belongs to glycoside hydrolase family 43 (GH43) and has a 1,356-bp gene length that encodes 451 amino acids residues. To study the enzymatic properties and substrate selectivity of PoGal3, β-1,3-galactan (AG-P-I) from larch wood arabinogalactan (LWAG) was prepared and characterized by HPLC and NMR. Using AG-P-I as substrate, purified PoGal3 exhibited an optimal pH of 5.0 and temperature of 40℃. We also discovered that Zn²⁺ had the strongest promoting effect on enzyme activity, increasing it by 28.6%. Substrate specificity suggests that PoGal3 functions as an exo-β-1,3-galactanase, with its greatest catalytic activity observed on AG-P-I. Hydrolytic products of AG-P-I are mainly composed of galactose and β-1,6-galactobiose. In addition, PoGal3 can catalyze hydrolysis of LWAG to produce galacto-oligomers. PoGal3 is the first enzyme identified as an exo-β-1,3-galactanase that can be used in building glycan blocks of crucial glycoconjugates to assess their biological functions.

L- arabinose residues are widely distributed in plant cell walls, where they are present in polymers such as arabinans, arabinoxylans, arabinogalactans and arabinogalactan proteins. L-arabinose suppress intestinal sucrase and decrease the adsorption of sugar in the small intestine, consequently, weight loss and fatness prevent. Now, xylose be used replacement sugar and arabinose be utilized fatness prevent of our time. Various Agricultural surplus like com fiber, contain $20\;{\sim}\;40%$ of hemicellulose. Corn fiber from Agricultural Renewable Biomass was chosen the best suitable material for arabinose production. In this work, we searched about for L-arabinose gene in compost, metagenome pool and indonesian soil. So, the B1029 TS2-8 of L-arabinase gene in compost was selected by YNB media(5% yeast nitrogen base, 5% arabinogalactan). After enzyme reaction with corn fiver, B1029 TS2-8 produced 2.15 g/L of L-arabonose.

The aim of this study was to elucidate chemical structures and rheological properties of arabinogalactans (AGs) isolated from three legumes including black gram (BG), great northern bean (GNB), and California small white bean (CSWB). The ratio of galactose to arabinose (G/A) in three legumes increased in the order of BG > GNB > CSWB. The rheological measurements of 1-5% (w/v) AG solutions revealed Newtonian and non-Newtonian flow behaviors. BG exhibited yield stress, indicating plastic behavior. Small-amplitude oscillatory tests indicated viscoelastic properties of BG, GNB, and CSWB ranging from solid-like, paste-like, and liquid-like behaviors, respectively. Small-strain oscillatory tests were conducted to assess the structure recovery of the AGs after pre-shearing. G" values of BG and GNB increased, but those of CSWB remained constant after shearing. These results suggest that the chemical structures of the AGs, particularly their G/A ratios, influence their rheological properties.

A potent immuno-stimulating activity was detected from the watersoluble and ethanol-precipitated crude extract (AG-1) of the root of Angelica gigas Nakai. The crude extract was fractionated into two fractions, an acidic AG-2 and a neutral AG-3 fraction by DEAE-cellulose adsorption. The two fractions contained polysaccharides of which M.W. were 10 Kdal and >2,000 Kdal respectively, proteins, and various inorganic components. The immunostimulating activities of two fractions were not reduced by proteinase K, acid or alkali treatment. The polysaccharides obtained from the root of A. gigas were mainly composed of arabinose, galactose, and galacturonic acid. These results indicated that immuno- stimulating components of the root of A. gigas was a kind of pectic polysaccharides or arabinogalactans.
