Abstract:

Polysaccharides were major functional components in Stigma maydis. The polysaccharides are high molecular weights and complicated molecular structures. These polysaccharides have functions of blood glucose regulation, tumor inhibition, immune modulation and anti-oxidation. In this paper, current research progress of extraction, purification, structural identification and pharmacological actions of polysaccharides from Stigma maydis is reviewed, which will provide a scientific basis for further study and exploitation of Stigma maydis.

Key words: Stigma maydis, polysaccharide, purification, structural identification, pharmacological action
