Abstract
Crude polysaccharide was prepared from Crassostrea rivularis by 30% (w/v) potassium hydroxide solution at 90°C for 120 min. Three fractions ( OG1, OG2, and OG3) were purified by DEAE‐52 cellulose and Sepharose 2B gel column chromatography. The chemical structures were determined using gas chromatography ( GC), high‐performance gel permeation chromatography ( HPGPC), Fourier‐transform infrared ( FT‐ IR) spectroscopy, and 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance ( NMR) spectroscopy. The results indicated that OG1 was composed of rhamnose and little mannose (8.71%), the ratio of Rha: Gal: Xyl: Fuc in OG3 were 14:5.5:3:1. And their average molecular weights (Mw) were about 1.66 × 106 and 2.33 × 106 Da, respectively. OG2 was composed only of glucose (98.23%), which means it was glycogen. OG2 was consisted mainly of →4)‐ α‐D‐Glc‐(1→, with the branch chain every 6.5 glucose residues on average, which is →4,6)‐α‐D‐Glc‐(1→ and trace amount of α‐D‐Glc‐(1→ branched units. The Mw was 2.27 × 106 Da. It provides the bases for the bioactivity research.
