Polysaccharides (52)

Polysaccharides are polymeric carbohydrates composed of multiple monosaccharide units joined by glycosidic bonds, with at least one monosaccharide as their basic building block. They are not pure chemical substances but rather mixtures of compounds with varying degrees of polymerization. Typically, polysaccharides are water-insoluble, lack sweetness, cannot crystallize, and do not exhibit reducing properties or mutarotation. They possess notable biological activities, including anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, hypoglycemic, anti-aging, anticoagulant, and immune-boosting effects.
