Stevia rebaudiana, a sweetener with medicinal functions, has attracted extensive attention due to its application in food and pharmaceutical fields. However, a few studies were performed to explore polysaccharides in this plant. Herein, SRP70-1 was derived from S. rebaudiana. Structural analysis (monosaccharide composition analysis, high-performance liquid chromatography-multi-angle light scattering detection, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy) revealed that SRP70-1 was composed of mannose, glucose, galactose, and arabinose at the molar ratio of 1.35:1.00:3.23:3.47, with an absolute molecular weight of 7698 Da. SRP70-1 was found to contain → 5)-α-l-Araf-(1→, →2,3,5)-α-l-Araf-(1→, →4)-β-l-Arap-(1→, →4)-β-d-Galp-(1→, →6)-β-d-Galp-(1→, →4)-β-d-Manp-(1→, →6)-β-d-Manp-(1→, and terminal α-l-Araf, β-d-Galp, and β-d-Glcp residues. Cell experiments showed that SRP70-1 could significantly promote phagocytosis and increase the release of nitric oxide and cytokines including IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α. Further zebrafish experiments confirmed the immunological enhancement effects of SRP70-1. This study revealed that SRP70-1 may be useful for the development of functional foods.
