Comparison of different properties of β-glucan derivatives [28, 29].
Types of β-glucan derivatives | Reduction capacity (700 nm) | Hydroxyl-radical scavenging rate | Anti-lipid peroxidation ability | Scavenging rate of superoxide anion |
---|---|---|---|---|
Sulfated β-glucan | 0.3 | 38.45% | 15% | 35% |
Phosphorylated β-glucan | 0.05 | 67.59% | 26% | 65% |
Sulfated-phosphorylated β-glucan | 0.05 | 48.89% | 7% | 45% |
[a] The values in the table are all improved values over unmodified β-glucan.
