Polysaccharides including water-soluble fraction (W), 1,2-Cyclohexanediaminetetraacetic acid (CDTA)-soluble fraction (CA), sodium carbonate (Na2CO3)-soluble fraction (SC), 1 M potassium hydroxide (KOH)-soluble fractions (PH1), and 4 M KOH-soluble fraction (PH4) were successively extracted from Dendrocalamus brandisii bamboo shoot shells using water, CDTA, Na2CO3, and KOH solution. The analytical methods were employed to initially identify the structural characteristics of the five polysaccharide fractions, and their antioxidant capacities in vitro were determined. According to the data, the average molecular weight of the five polysaccharide fractions was between 4 816 and 993 935 Da. In all four types (CA, SC, PH1, and PH4), xylose was the most abundant monosaccharide, especially in PH1 and PH4. Both PH1 and PH4 were found to contain 1,4-β-d-Xylp as their main chain, as determined by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Additional research into CA and SC's antioxidant potential is required since they both showed potent in vitro antioxidant activities.
