Abstract:

To investigate the preliminary structure and probiotic properties of three Dendrobium officinale leaf polysaccharides in the Yandang Mountain area, and provide basis for high-value utilization of D. officinale leaf resources, leaves of D. officinale Yanhu No.1, D. officinale Yanhu No.3 and D. officinale Shenglan No.8 were used as raw materials, and pure polysaccharides were obtained, which were named as DOP1, DOP2 and DOP3. The relative molecular weight of DOP1, DOP2, and DOP3 were 2.56×105, 1.35×105 and 3.26×105, respectively. All of them were composed of arabinose, galactose, glucose and mannose, but with different molar ratios. DOP1 had the tightest organizational structure in aqueous solution, followed by DOP3, and DOP2 was the loosest. The proliferation of Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus pentosus and Lactobacillus rhamnosus were promoted by all three polysaccharides, among which DOP3 had the most significant effect. DOP2 and DOP3 significantly inhibited the growth of Escherichia coli and Listeria monocytogenes, while DOP1 only inhibited the growth of L. monocytogenes. The relative abundance of Parabacteroides and Koalabacteria were increased and the relative abundance of conditional pathogenic bacteria such as Klebsiella and Bliophila were decreased under the treatment of three polysaccharides in human colon flora. In addition, DOP3 also significantly inhibited the growth of Morganella and Pseudomonas. All three polysaccharides could promote the production of acetic acid, propionic acid and butyric acid, among which DOP2 and DOP3 had better effects than DOP1. The results showed all of these three polysaccharides had probiotic functions, among which DOP3 had a better comprehensive effect and had the potential to be used as a new probiotic factor.
