Sweet potato acid phosphatase was covalently coupled with glutaraldehyde to aminopropyl controlled-pore glass, and used as a pre-column enzyme reactor. The immobilized enzyme reactor (IMER) was continuously operated using an automated chromatographic detection system we developed. Functional
The in vivo anti-fatigue activity of the total flavonoids from sweet potato [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.] leaf was investigated in male Kunming mice. The total flavonoids from sweet potato leaf (TFSL) were orally administered at doses of 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg for 4 weeks and the anti-fatigue effect
