Abstract:

A series of oligomannuronates with series degree of polymerization(DP=2-8) were prepared by acid hydrolysis from alginate-derived homopolymannuronate blocks,and the structures of the oligosaccharides were analyzed. The macromolecule of alginate was treated by partial acid hydrolysis and fractionated at pH=2.85 resulting in homopolymannuronate blocks. The homopolymer was degraded by acid hydrolysis,and the oligosaccharides were separated and purified by gel chromatography. The oligosaccharides were characterized by fluorophore-assisted carbohydrate electrophoresis(FACE),and the structures of derived oligomannuronates were determined by ESI-MS,NMR as well as FTIR analysis.

Key words: Alginate; Acid hydrolysis; Oligomannuronate; Preparation;Identification
