Abstract
⺠Effect of a novel polysaccharide (PLP) on intestinal function was studied in vitro. ⺠PLP could slow down glucose diffusion and inhibit α-amylase activity. ⺠PLP may decrease pancreatic lipase and protease activities. ⺠PLP was able to bind bile acids and may reduce cholesterol level. ⺠PLP may have potential benefits for human intestinal function.
