Two water-soluble polysaccharides from mung bean skin: Physicochemical characterization, antioxidant and antibacterial activities

Two water-soluble polysaccharides were extracted and purified from mung bean (Vigna radiate) skin by cellulose-enzyme assisted extraction (MBP-1) and hot-water extraction (MBP-2), respectively. The physicochemical properties, antioxidant and antibacterial activities of MBP-1 and MBP-2 were investigated and compared. Results showed that MBP-1 and MBP-2 had different sugar, protein, and uronic acid contents. MBP-1 was consisted of rhamnose (Rha),...
