Abstract:
The polysaccharide from the root of Gentiana macrophylla Pall. was extracted by hot distilled water, and then precipitated by alcohol, and hydrolyzed by TFA. The hydrolysate derivatizated with PMP and the PMP derivatives were analysed by HPLC. Results showed that the polysaccharide was consisted of mannose, rhamnose, glucuronic acid, galacturonic acid, glucose, galactose and arabonose, their molar ratio was 0.06∶0.25∶0.03∶1.00∶1.23∶0.87∶3.52.
