Abstract:

Among ten types of macroporous resins, D101 resin was selected as the best for the decolorization and
deproteinization of Pu-Erh tea polysaccharides. When 50 mL of the sample at a concentration of 3.8 mg/mL, pH 4 was
adsorbed by 11 mL of D101 resin 50 ℃, the decolorization rate was 82.33% and the removal rate of protein was 70.89%.
Six polysaccharide fractions were obtained after subsequent DEAE-52 cellulose column chromatography.

Key words: resin, Pu-Erh tea, polysaccharide, purification, separation
