Abstract:

With the purpose of offering useful guidance for the selection of an optimal method for quantitative determination of polysaccharides in various samples, this paper reviews methods for quantitative determination of polysaccharides, mainly including chemical assay, gas liquid chromatographic (GC) method, high pressure liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method, anion ion exchange chromatographic (AEC) method, size exclusion chromatographic (SEC) method, thin layer chromatographic (TLC) ethod, capillary electrophoresis (EC) method, infrared spectroscopic (IR) method and so on.

Key words: polysaccharides, content, determination, methods
