Abstract:

Crude polysaccharides were obtained from Polygonatum odoratum (Mill) Druce by water extraction and ethanol precipitation, and were sequentially purified by ion exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose column and gel permeation chromatography on Sepharose CL-6B column and a neutral polysaccharide fraction was obtained. Its structure was determined using HPLC, FTIR and UV spectroscopy. The results showed that the polysaccharide fraction was mainly composed of mannose and glucose at a molar ratio of 5:1 and also contained a small amount of galactose and that its molecular weight was approximately 1.21 × 106 D.

Key words: Polygonatum odoratum (Mill) Druce, polysaccharide, purification, monosaccharide composition
