Due to the importance of proanthocyanidin bioactivity and its relationship with chemical structure, ultrasound-assisted extraction and purification schemes were proposed to evaluate the proanthocyanidin content and analyze the structural composition and potential bioactivities of different proanthocyanidin fractions from Chinese wild rice (Zizania latifolia). Following an optimized extraction procedure, the crude wild rice proanthocyanidins (WRPs) were purified using n-butanol extraction, chromatography on macroporous resins, and further fractionation on Sephadex LH-20 to yield six specific fractions (WRPs-1&ndash:WRPs-6) containing proanthocyanidin levels exceeding 524.19 ±: 3.56 mg/g extract. Structurally, (+)-catechin, (&minus:)-epicatechin, and (&minus:)-epigallocatechin were present as both terminal and extension units, and (&minus:)-epicatechin was the major extension unit, in each fraction. This is the first preparation of WRP fractions with a different mean degree of polymerization (mDP), ranging from 2.66 ±: 0.04 to 10.30 ±: 0.46. A comparison of the bioactivities of these fractions revealed that fractions WRPs-1&minus:WRPs-5 had significant DPPH radical scavenging activities, whereas fraction WRPs-6 with a high mDP showed better &alpha:-glucosidase and pancreatic lipase inhibitory effects. These findings should help define possible applications of WRPs to functional foods or nutraceuticals.
