Abstract: Hot alkaline method was used to extract glycogen from oyster. After purification, the glycogen free of protein was obtained. Gel filtration chromatography (GFC) on Sepharose CL-6B and Sepharose 2B showed that the molecular weight of oyster glycogen was in the range of 10 . The gas chromatography (GC) results showed oyster glycogen was a homogeneous 6 ~107 polysaccharide and glucose was its monosaccharide composition.

Key words: oyster, glycogen, extraction, purification, molecular weight, monosaccharide composition
