Article Abstract
has a long history of consumption and medicinal use in China. It has been found that natural plants containing polyphenol-polysaccharide complexes have better activity compared with polyphenols and polysaccharides. Therefore, in this study on enzymatic hydrolysis and fractional alcohol precipitation, two kinds of polyphenol-polysaccharide complexes (PPC), PPC1 and PPC2, were initially obtained from , while the dephenolization of PPC1 and PPC2 produced PPC3 and PPC4. Through in vitro assays, PPC2 and PPC4 were found to have higher antioxidant activity, and thus were selected for testing the PPCs' anti-aging activity in a subsequent in vivo experiment with D-gal-induced aging in mice. The results indicated that PPCs could regulate the expressions of antioxidant enzymes and products of oxidation, elevate the expressions of genes and proteins related to the Nrf2 pathway in the mouse brain, enrich the gut microbiota species and increase the - (B/F) ratio. Above all, the polyphenol-polysaccharide complex has potential in the development of natural anti-aging drugs.

Polyphenols, a major class of plant secondary metabolites, are well known for their diverse bioactive properties. It has also been established that polyphenols interact with other macromolecules, such as proteins, polysaccharides, and lipids in the food matrix. Among the primary metabolites of the plant, carbohydrates play a significant role.

This study investigates the formation mechanism of the quinoa protein isolate (QPI), tannic acid (TA), and high methoxyl pectin (HMP) ternary complex, while exploring the potential of stable high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) in 3D-printed food applications. The results indicate that QPI-TA (QT) complex and HMP primarily form the QPI-TA-HMP (QTH) ternary complex through hydrophobic interactions, hydrogen bonding, and electrostatic forces. By adjusting the ratio of QT to HMP, QTH complexes with high stability and zeta potential across a wide pH range can be achieved.

Tibetan tea contains highly valuable bioactive components like polyphenols and polysaccharides, which can regulate gut microbiota and promote bodily health. This study systematically investigated the gastrointestinal digestion and colonic fermentation behavior of Tibetan tea polyphenols (TPP), polysaccharides (TPS), and their polyphenol-polysaccharide complex (TC). TPP, TPS, and TC demonstrated minimal changes in physicochemical and structural characteristics after gastrointestinal digestion.

This study investigated the effects of the polyphenol-polysaccharide complex (HPC) and its purified components (PC1 and PC4), obtained from Hizikia fusiforme, on the human gut microbiota during in vitro simulated digestion and fecal fermentation. Results showed a gradual increase in reducing sugar content for HPC, PC1, and PC4 during simulated digestion, accompanied by a slight decrease in molecular weight, indicating that these complexes were not completely digested during oral-gastrointestinal digestion. However, following fermentation, the molecular weights of HPC, PC1, and PC4 decreased significantly, and the molar ratios of monosaccharide compositions changed considerably compared with prefermentation values.

Article Synopsis
- - The study isolates a new polysaccharide fragment, SBP-3 A, from sugar beet pectin, confirming its composition through high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and other analyses; it contains 22.5 μg/mg of ferulic acid and has a molecular weight of 33.31 kDa.
- - SBP-3 A demonstrates significant antioxidant properties in C. elegans, evidenced by increased antioxidant enzyme activity, reduced levels of reactive oxygen species, and changes in specific gene expression related to oxidative stress responses.
- - The polysaccharide also positively influences gut microbiota, enhancing the growth of beneficial bacteria, which supports its potential use as a functional food to combat oxidative stress-related health issues.
