Structural analysis of fungal glucans
Original language description
Glucans are most widespread fungal polysaccharides. Isolation of fungal glucans from raw materials requires special intervention to remove other compounds, i.e., proteins, lipids, polyphenols, as well as other polysaccharides. Purity control and structural identification of isolated polysaccharides are necessary for quality estimation of the isolation and purification processes or their specific steps. Modern chemical, spectroscopic and separation methods are able to assist solving these tasks and possess information about the structure of fungal glucans. Organic elemental analysis gives information about elements present in native glucans. Occasional presence of nitrogen could be explained by the contribution of nitrogen-containing compounds like proteins and chitin (chitosan). Total and/or reducing sugars, uronic acids, chitin and/or proteins are commonly estimated to evaluate glucan purity. Gel permeation (size-exclusion) chromatography, laser light scattering and viscometry give in
