Abstract

Extraction and antioxidant activities of mannan from yeast cell wall were investigated. The crude mannan was extracted with the hot water. It indicated that the isoelectric point method was ideal for deproteinization. The mannan was linked by the α-glycosidic bond, and it was a homopolysaccharide containing only mannose. In addition, it showed that mannan had good antioxidant activities.

Keywords: Antioxidant activities; Characterization; Extraction; Mannan; Yeast cell wall.
