Popis: A polysaccharide (LPR) was separated from the roots of Lilium davidii var. unicolor Cotton with hot water extraction, ethanol precipitation, and purification by anion-exchange and gel-permeation chromatography. LPR was characterized. The weight-average molecular weight (MW) of LPR was 5.12 × 104 g/moL. Glucose and mannose comprised LPR with a molar ratio of 2.9:3.3. IR, NMR and methylation analysis showed that LPR was a natural O-acetyl glucomannan, the backbone mainly contained β-(1 → 4)-linked d -glucopyranosyl and β-(1 → 4)-linked D-mannopyanosyl, and the branches probably linked at O-2 and/or O-3 of the mannosyl and glucosyl residues. The acetyl groups mainly attached at O-2 or O-3 of mannosyl residues. X-ray diffractometric (XRD) analysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis revealed that LPR was a semi-crystalline substance with porous lamellar structure. Bioassays in vitro indicated that LPR had distinct scavenging activities on hydroxyl radical and DPPH radical. These findings provided a reference for functional underutilization roots of L. davidii as natural antioxidant in food and pharmaceutical industry.
