Bacterial exopolysaccharides (EPSs) are important alternatives to plant polysaccharides in fermented products and exhibit antioxidant activity, which is particularly desirable for functional foods. This study evaluated the use of spent media wastewater (SMW) derived from kimchi fermentation for the production of an EPS and analyzed the characterization and antioxidant activity of the resulting EPS. The EPS concentration and conversion yields of sequential purification were 7.7-9.0 g/L and 38.6-45.1%, respectively. Fourier transform infrared spectra and NMR spectra indicated that the EPS was a linear glucan with α-(1 → 6) linkages. The EPS also exhibited thermal tolerance to high temperatures. In vitro antioxidant activity analyses indicated the scavenging activity on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radicals, thiobarbituric acid reactance (TBAR), and ferric ion reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) values of 71.6-79.1, 28.2-33.0%, and 0.04-0.05 mM FeCl 3 , respectively. These results reveal that the EPS extracted from SMW has potential as a thermally tolerant, nontoxic, and natural antioxidant for industrial applications.
