Abstract:Objective: To improve the development and utilization rate of Lycium barbarum in the saline-alkali land of the Yellow River Delta. Methods: Ultraviolet spectrophotometer was used to determine the scavenging effect of Lycium barbarum oligosaccharide on free radicals and its effect on the growth curve and pH value of Bifidobacterium adolescentis, so as to determine its antioxidant performance and the ability to proliferate probiotics. Results: The concentration of Lycium barbarum oligosaccharide reached 2.0 mg/mL, the maximum scavenging rates of DPPH·, ABTS+ and hydroxyl radical reached (65.32±0.03)%, (99.93±0.05)% and (21.86±0.01)%, respectively, when the concentration was between 0.1~0.5 mg/mL, it showed good total reducing power. The OD value of Bifidobacterium adolescentis increased with the increase of Lycium barbarum oligosaccharide concentration, and the pH value was negatively correlated with the cell concentration. Conclusion: Lycium barbarum oligosaccharides show strong antioxidant activity and the ability to proliferate probiotics.
