Coreopsis tinctoria is commonly called Kunlun Chrysanthemum and a plateau plant with tremendous commercial value in functional tea and medicinal applications. In folk medicine, Kunlun Chrysanthemum flower is often used as an adjunctive therapy for diabetes and Alzheimer's disease. To further explore the chemicals responsible for the health benefits of Kunlun Chrysanthemum flowers, three homogeneous oligosaccharides, CT70-1A, CT70-1B and CT70-2 were isolated, and their detailed structures were determined from chemical and spectral analyses. The three oligosaccharides were composed of glucose, mannose, galactose, and arabinose in different ratios. They showed dose-dependent α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibitory effects. In addition, they showed NO production inhibitory activities in BV2 cells, with IC50 values of 0.23, 0.24 and 0.27 mM, respectively. Taken together, these results suggested that Kunlun Chrysanthemum oligosaccharides might ameliorate hyperglycemia and neuroinflammation, which could prevent the development of diseases such as type 2 diabetes and Alzheimer's disease. This study provides chemical and bioactive perspectives that support the consumption of Kunlun Chrysanthemum flower tea for health benefits.

Four water-soluble polysaccharides, FCp-1, FCp-2, FCp-3, and FCp-4 were obtained from finger citron fruits (Citrus medica L. var. sarcodactylis) by hot-water extraction and ethanol precipitation, followed by routine separation procedure. Based on the calibration curve, molecular weights of them were estimated to be 113.9, 32.6, 140.3, and 177.1 kDa respectively. The acid hydrolysis, methylation, IR, GC-MS, and NMR experiments were used for composition analysis. FCp-1 was a heteropolysaccharide composed of arabinose, galactose, glucose, rhamnose, and xylose, with a molar ratio of 3.0:7.0:4.1:1.0:1.5. FCp-2 and FCp-4 were →4)-α-d-GalpA(1→ linking galacturonan differ in molecular weights. FCp-3 was a →6)-α-d-Glcp(1→ linking glucan. According to the results of in vitro assays, FCp-3 showed significantly and moderately enhancing capacities toward the proliferation of splenocytes and thymocytes respectively. Thus, FCp-3 or analogs may have further use as immunomodulatory agents.

Cordyceps militaris dried fruiting bodies were extracted with 5% KOH solution. The extract was purified by freeze-thawing treatment, and dialysis (100 kDa), giving rise to a homogeneous polysaccharide (Mw 23,000 Da). Its monosaccharide composition was mannose (56.7%), galactose (34.5%), and glucose (8.8%). The anomeric configurations were determined by their coupling constants. A complex polysaccharide was identified by NMR and methylation analysis. The HSQC spectrum showed signals at δ 107.7/5.06 and 106.1/5.14; 105.9/5.12 relative to β-D-Galf, and O-2-substituted β-D-Galf units, respectively. The sign at δ 104.4/5.21 corresponded to α-D-Galf. Other signals corresponded to α-D-Manp O-6- and O-2-substituted (δ 100.2/4.94; 100.5/5.27; 100.6/5.23; 100.7/5.16), and δ-D-Manp 2,6-di-O-substituted (from δ 99.3 to 99.9). The main linkages, confirmed by methylation analysis, showed the derivatives: 2,3,4-Me3-Manp (11.9%) and 3,4,6-Me3-Manp (28.6%). The branches were (1 → 6)-linked-α-D-Manp or (1 → 2)-linked-β-D-Galf, terminating with β-D-Galf, α-D-Galf, α-D-Galp, or α-D-Manp. 42.7% of the partially hydrolyzed product consisted of 3,4,6-Me3-Manp, suggesting a (1 → 2)-linked backbone.

Fucogalactans from edible Agaricus bisporus (RFP-Ab) and wild Lactarius rufus (RFP-Lr) mushrooms were obtained on aqueous extraction followed by purification. RFP-Ab had Mw 43.8 × 104 g mol -1 and RFP-Lr Mw 1.4

The structure of the capsular polysaccharide isolated from Klebsiella K68 bacteria has been elucidated by both chemical and spectroscopic methods.The structure is of the "3+1" type, similar in pattern to the structures of the polysaccharides of Klebsiella K11 and K57, having a single branch point on the uronic acid.The polysaccharide is shown to consist of the following repeating unit:
