Structural Characterization and Immunomodulatory Activity of Acid-Extracted Polysaccharides from Chestnut ( Castanea Mollissima Blume)
Chestnut (Castanea mollissima Blume) is a nutrient-rich nut; however, the immunomodulatory potential of its polysaccharides remains underexplored. In this study, three extraction methods (hot water, acid, and alkaline) for chestnut polysaccharides were compared in terms of yield and immunomodulatory activity. Two hom...
