Abstract: In order to explore the natural resources of marine algae, the characteristics and structures of the glycocalyx of sulfated polysaccharide from Laminaria japonica(GPL) were studied. GPL was prepared in our laboratory. Detected with colorimetric method, in GPL the sulfate content is 29.12%, polysaccharide 27.8% and protein 12.69% respectively. At the same time its monosaccharide ingredient was studied after acetylation with GC technique. It was found that GPL is mainly composed of fucose, xylose, mannose, galactose, glucose and so on.

Key words: glycocalyx of sulfated polysaccharide from Laminaria japonica(GPL), acetylation, GC
