Article Preview

Abstract:

[Objective]The aim is to analysis okra polysaccharide component and structure, and study on the cell toxicity.[Method] In this paper, we used okra seeds as raw material, extracted okra polysaccharide by boiled alcohol sink method extraction, purified it, studied the mono-saccharide composition, and did okra polysaccharide cytotoxicity assay.[Results]The results show sugar content is 28.15% in the extracts form okra seeds, and the okra polysaccharides are composed of rhamnose, Arabian sugar, D-xylose, D - fructose and D-glucose as well as several monosaccharide composition, cytotoxicity assay shows that the cell toxicity of okra polysaccharide is similar to that of glucose. [Conclusion]This study provided experimental basis for the optimization and development of polysaccharide resources from okra.
