Molish reaction: dissolving 1g of the polysaccharide prepared by the method in 20mL of distilled water to prepare a polysaccharide solution, adding 1mL of alpha-naphthol into 1mL of the polysaccharide solution in a test tube, adding 1mL of concentrated sulfuric acid, and obtaining a red-purple ring with a positive Molish reaction.
Phenol-sulfuric acid reaction: 1mL of the polysaccharide solution is put into a test tube, 1mL of phenol is added, 5mL of concentrated sulfuric acid is added, a yellow-brown compound appears, and the reaction of phenol-sulfuric acid is positive.
FIG. 1 is an SEM image of the above polysaccharide, which shows low regularity, numerous random cross-links between molecules, and many branched chains.
2. Inhibition of bacteria and fungi by centella asiatica polysaccharides
2.1 preparation of polysaccharide solutions and suspensions
The centella asiatica polysaccharide prepared in example 1 is weighed, dissolved by distilled water to prepare solutions with different concentrations, and then diluted to other concentrations. The test bacteria are placed in a slant culture medium, the bacteria are activated for 24h at 37 ℃, the mould is activated for 48h at 28 ℃, and the yeast is activated for 24h at 30 ℃. Selecting bacterial lawn, and preparing into 1 × 10 pieces in sterile water6~1×108CFU/mL of bacterial suspension.
2.2 qualitative detection of bacteriostatic action
Slowly pouring the sterilized culture medium into a sterile culture dish under the aseptic condition, cooling and solidifying, and respectively and uniformly coating 0.2mL of test bacterial suspension on a solid plate. Placing a circular filter paper sheet with the diameter of 12mm and made of sterilized filter paper into a 10mg/mL polysaccharide solution for soaking for 1h, drying and then gently placing the circular filter paper sheet on the surface of a culture medium, placing the culture medium inoculated with bacteria at 37 ℃ for inverted culture for 24h, placing the culture medium inoculated with aspergillus niger at 28 ℃ for inverted culture for 48h, and placing the culture medium inoculated with saccharomycetes at 30 ℃ for inverted culture for 24 h. The product without the inhibition zone is negative, the product with the inhibition zone is positive, and the diameter of the inhibition zone is measured by a cross method. 3 portions were worked up in parallel. At the same time, 1 part of blank control containing no polysaccharide is provided.
