Preparation, characterization, antioxidant and antiglycation activities of selenized polysaccharides from blackcurrant

Abstract

-KI reaction results indicated that selenized modification did not cause an obvious change in crystal form and branch structure of blackcurrant polysaccharides. In addition, PSBPs were superior to PBP in antioxidant and antiglycation capacities, and the bioactivities of PSBPs were significantly improved in positive correlation with selenium content. This study suggested that PSBPs may be a potential selenium source and serve as functional food and medicine.
