Title: Determination of Polysaccharide of Lily and Its Antioxidant Activity
Abstract: Water-solube polysaccharide in lily was extracted in hot water and detected by Anthrone-sulfuric method,and then its antioxidant activity was analyzed.The results showed that the average content of polysaccharides in crude extract from lily reached 52.96%.The antioxidant activities of this polysaccharide in different antioxidant assays related to its concentration were observed.Its antioxidant activity for scavenging superoxide radical(O2-·) and hydroxyl free radical(·OH) was equal to vitamin C,the ability of scavenging nitrite(NO2-) was 1/5 of vitamin C,the reducing ability was about 1/25 of vitamin C.
