Abstract:

The paper aims to obtain the optimal condition for extracting polysaccharide from Cordyceps militaris fruiting body by hot water and to provide reference for the study of its immune activity. Taking C. militaris fruiting body as the research object, using the new deproteinization method, based on the single factor experiment and the response surface method, we optimized the extraction process parameters of the polysaccharide of C. militaris fruiting body, and studied the antioxidant activity of the polysaccharide. The optimum extraction condition is: the extraction temperature of 80℃, the extraction time of 3.1 h, the ratio of liquid to material of 41:1 (mL:g), and the extraction of 2 times. Under this condition, the actual yield of polysaccharide is 6.3328%, and the relative error from the predicted value of 6.5877% is less than 5%, indicating that the optimization parameters of extraction process are reliable. The scavenging ability of hydroxyl radical is 53.8%, the reduction ability of iron ion is 1.133 and the total antioxidant activity is 0.807 when the polysaccharide obtained by this method is 8 mg/mL. The scavenging ability of 50% inhibiting concentration is 1.449 mg/mL. The method of extraction of polysaccharide with high extraction rate and high antioxidant activity is obtained, which could lay a foundation for the separation, purification and bioactivity of polysaccharide from C. militaris fruiting body.
