Structure characterization of two novel polysaccharides from Colocasia esculenta (taro) and a comparative study of their immunomodulatory activities

Two fractions of non-starch polysaccharides termed TPS-1 and TPS-2 were sequentially purified from the corms of Colocasia esculenta. Structural characterizations of TPS-1 and TPS-2 were determined. The average molecular weight of TPS-1 and TPS-2 were estimated to be 10.502 and 10.191 kDa, respective...
