Research Methods for Structural Analysis of Lactic Acid Bacteria Induced Exopolysaccharides

In this report, we summarized the current progress of key methodologies involved in the structural analysis of LAB-generated EPSs, including their isolation, purification, primary structure and advances in structural research. A comprehensive discussion regarding the application of chemical analysis, instrument analysis and computer aided technology in the structure analysis of LAB-generated EPSs was provided. Further, the future development of the research on the structure of LAB-generated EPSs was also presented.Graphical abstractThe structural analysis of exopolysaccharides produced by lactobacillus is the basis for exploring its functional mechanism. In this review, the development of isolation, purification, primary structure and advanced structure analytical techniques of exopolysaccharides of lactic acid bacteria were discussed. The comprehensive application of chemical analysis, instrument analysis and computer aided technology in the analysis of the structure of exopolysaccharides produced by lactic acid bacteria were discussed.
