Abstrakt: This study aimed to enhance the antioxidant activity of carboxymethyl inulin (CMI) by chemical modification. Therefore, a series of cationic Schiff bases bearing heteroatoms were synthesized and incorporated into CMI via ion exchange reactions, ultimately preparing 10 novel CMI derivatives (CMID). Their structures were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The radical scavenging activities and reducing power of inulin, CMI, and CMID were studied. The results revealed a significant enhancement in antioxidant activity upon the introduction of cationic Schiff bases into CMI. Compared to commercially available antioxidant Vc, CMID demonstrated a broader range of antioxidant activities across the four antioxidant systems analyzed in this research. In particular, CMID containing quinoline (6QSCMI) exhibited the strongest hydroxyl radical scavenging activity, with a scavenging rate of 93.60 % at 1.6 mg mL -1 . The CMID bearing imidazole (2MSCMI) was able to scavenge 100 % of the DPPH radical at 1.60 mg mL -1 . Furthermore, cytotoxicity experiments showed that the products had good biocompatibility. These results are helpful for evaluating the feasibility of exploiting these products in the food, biomedical, and cosmetics industries.
