ABSTRACT
Microbial exopolysaccharides (EPS) are high molecular weight polymeric substances with great diversity and variety of applications in the food and pharma industry. In this study, we report the extraction of an EPS from Enterococcus hirae OL616073 strain originally isolated from Indian fermented food and its purification by ion exchange and size exclusion chromatography for physical-functional analyses. The EPS showed two prominent fractions (EPS F1 and EPS F2) with molecular mass 7.7 × 104 and 6.5 × 104 Da respectively by gel permeation chromatography. These fractions were further characterized by FTIR, HPTLC, GC-MS, and NMR as a homopolysaccharide of glucose linked with α-(1 â†’ 6) and α-(1 â†’ 3) glycosidic linkages. The porous, spongy, granular morphology of EPS was observed under scanning electron microscopy. EPS has revealed strong physico-functional properties like water solubility index (76.75 %), water contact angle (65.74°), water activity (0.35), hygroscopicity (3.05 %), water holding capacity (296.19 %), oil holding capacity (379.91 %), foaming capacity (19.58 %), and emulsifying activity (EA1-72.22 %). Rheological analysis showed that aqueous solution of EPS exhibited a non-Newtonian fluid behavior and shear-thinning characteristics. Overall, EPS exhibits techno functional properties with potential applications as a functional biopolymer in food and pharma industry.
