Abstract: The contents of polysaccharide in Sporophyll of Undaria pinnatifida Suringar. were assayed by phenol-H2SO4 colorimetry. The results were wavelength for measurement was 489nm and converting factor of polysaccharide 2.51; good linearity ranged from 5~80μg/ml,r=0.9998 and average recovery rate of polysaccharide 98.57% with 2.31% of RSD(n=5).The method used in this paper was simple, accurate and stable. It could be used for determination of the polysaccharide in leaves of sporophyll of Undaria pinnatifida Suringar.

Key words: sporophyll of Undaria pinnatifida Suringar, polysaccharide, anthrone-sulfuric acid determination
