Characterization of inulin‐type fructans from two species of Radix <i>Codonopsis</i> and their oxidative defense activation and prebiotic activities

Abstract

The inulin fractions from C. pilosula and C. tangshen were natural sources of potential intestinal antioxidants as well as prebiotics, which will be valuable in further studies and new applications of inulin-containing health products. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.
