Abstract: The antioxidant activity and free radical clearing function of Maojian tea polysaccharides and its conjugate were investigated.The polysaccharides (MP) were extracted and purified from Maojian Tea by common methods including Sevag and acetone treatment.MP was hydrolyzed completely in TFA and the hydrolysates were separated into two parts (MP-HCM and MP-HCW) by C18 chromatographic treatment.The antioxidant activity and free radical clearing function of MP,MP-HCM and MP-HCW were studied by DPPH method and Prussian Blue method.The results showed that the DPPH radical scavenging rates of MP,MP-HCM and MP-HCW were 28.99%,13.1% and 23.2%,respectively.The deoxidization indexes of were 0.044,0.015 and 0.029,respectively.The presented results confirmed both Maojian tea polysaccharides and its conjugates had capacity of eliminating DPPH radicals and had antioxidant activity.
