Abstract: Skimmed extruded soybean dregs were used as the raw material to prepare water-soluble polysaccharides through the steps of ultrasonic-assisted extraction and purification by Sevag s method. The optimal ultrasonic-assisted extraction parameters were found to be extraction pH of 4.5, temperature of 90 ℃, material/liquid ratio of 1:20 (g/mL), ultrasonic power of 200 W, and ultrasonic extraction time of 40 min. Under these optimal extraction conditions, the extraction rate of water-soluble soybean polysaccharides was up to 8.82%. The purification of crude polysaccharides was achieved by treating with a Sevag reagent composed of CHCl3 and n-butanol (3:1, V/V) 3 times. The recovery rate of purified polysaccharides was up to 60.30%.
