Study on the Epigallocatechin Gallate and Konjac Glucomannan Mosaic Topological Structure

摘要

In order to effectively protect the activity of Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG),we explored the protection mechanism of Konjac glucomannan (KGM) for EGCG by experiments and theory analyses.We synthesized KGM/EGCG nanofibers by using electrostatic spinning method.The microstructure of nanofibers was characterized by SEM,FTIR,TGA,XRD and Raman spectroscopic.The formation mechanism and the protection effects of KGM/EGCG nanofibers were also discussed.The results showed that the EGCG activity was protected due to the hydrogen bonds between-OH of EGCG and KGM,and EGCG was embedded in KGM nanofiber with bead style.The reducing force and DPPH scavenging ability data indicated that KGM/EGCG nanofibers have stronger antioxidant activity than the EGCG solution under the same condition.Hence,the mosaic topological structure of KGM can effectively extend the EGCG activity.
