Abstract:

The thermal decomposition of polysaccharide fraction KPS Ⅲa from leaves of Ilex kudingcha C. J. Tseng was studied by using thermogravimetry (TG), thermogravimetry-infrared (TG-IR) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) in N2. The results showed that the KPS Ⅲa is stable below 225 ℃ and only release a little of water. KPS Ⅲa is decomposed at 225 to 625℃ and release a great deal of water and carbon dioxide. Compared to galactose and starch, the thermal stability of the sulphated polysaccharide KPS Ⅲa and heparin are lower but the amino polysaccharide, chitin is higher. All these results demonstrated that the KPS Ⅲa is stable below 225 ℃, and different groups have great effects on the thermal stability of the polysaccharide.

Key words: leaves of Ilex kudingcha C. J. Tseng, polysaccharide, TG, TG-IR, DSC
