Structural Features of a Dancong Tea Polysaccharide and Its Amelioration of Glucolipid Metabolic Disorders Associated with Gut Microbiota Modulation
A novel acidic polysaccharide, Dancong tea polysaccharide (DTP), was obtained from Dancong tea, and its structural characteristics and regulatory effects on glucolipid metabolism were investigated. With a molecular weight of 52 kDa, DTP is a pectic polysaccharide consisting mainly of a linear α-1,4-linked homogalacturo...
