Dissipative particle dynamics method was applied in the structure simulation of KGM. The results reveled that acetyl residues of KGM were bonded with water molecules in aqueous solutions. Increasing the hydrogen bond formation decreases the energy in acetyl system. The expect-valuation of the thermal state with respect to the Hamiltonian is negative. Hence, the total energy of konjac glucomnnan chain with the acetyl groups decreases, which indicates the increasing stability of konjac glucomnnan chain. Our approach could provide a new insight into the investigation on the stability of konjac glucomnnan chain.展开更多

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.展开更多
