Abstract: In this paper fig polysaccharides extracting method from fig pomace after being processed was studied. The single factor tests results showsed that more fig polysaccharides were obtained when the extraction temperature went up and extraction rate increased at the fist stage and then dropped according to the extraction frequency concerned. The extraction times should be less than 3. The extraction hot water would be 15 times weight more than that of fig pomace. Orthogonal tests showed the optimum extraction parameters were as follows: 100℃, 120min, add 15 times weight of hot water and 2 times extraction. Under this extract method the fig pomace polysaccharides extraction rate is 8.52%.
