Abstract: Corn silk polysaccharides were obtained by water extraction and ethanol precipitation, decolorized, deproteinized and purified by Sephadex G-100 column chromatography. GC-MS analysis showed that the purified polysaccharides consisted of 6 monosaccharides. Among them, glucose was predominant and others were arabinose, galactose, mannose, xylose and lyxose.

Key words: corn silk, polysaccharide, column chromatography, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), monosaccharide composition
