Follow on Google News | Classification of Polysaccharides-Alfa ChemistryBy: Alfa Chemistry Polysaccharide is a natural macromolecular compound from the cell membrane of high animals and plants and the cell wall of microorganisms, and it is one of the basic substances that constitute the energy of life activities. Polysaccharides are an important class of biopolymers, and their function in organisms is usually related to the structure or storage. At present, there are hundreds of active polysaccharides, which can be classified into Plant-derived polysaccharide, Animal-derived polysaccharide, Algae-derived polysaccharides, and microbial-derived polysaccharide according to their different sources. This article describes the following classification of polysaccharides: Plant-derived polysaccharide Plant-derived polysaccharides are present in various organs of plants, and there are many studies on the extraction and determination of polysaccharides from fruits and seed kernels (herbal medicines are mostly whole grasses). There is less in-depth research on the medicinal mechanism of such polysaccharides, and most of the research in this area stays at the primary level. Animal-derived polysaccharide Animal polysaccharides include glycogen, chitin, heparin, chondroitin sulfate, hyaluronic acid, keratan sulfate, acid mucopolysaccharide or glycosaminoglycan. Heparin, chondroitin sulfate, hyaluronic acid (http://www.alfa- Algae-derived polysaccharide The polysaccharide extracted from the seaweed mostly contains sulfate (http://www.alfa- Microbial-derived polysaccharide Microbial-derived polysaccharides can be further divided into bacterial polysaccharides and fungal polysaccharides. Such polysaccharides have been extensively studied up to date, and a wide variety of polysaccharides have been utilized, and bacterial capsular polysaccharides have been used as vaccines in medicine for a long time. Polysaccharides have a variety of biological activities and are closely related to the maintenance of biological functions. In recent years, plant polysaccharides have been increasingly studied due to their various biological activities such as immune regulation, anti-tumor and anti-aging. End
