Results indicated that a single component polysaccharide with a molecular Received in revised form weight of 16,619 Da was obtained after hot water extraction with sequential sevage deproteinization, 13 September 2014 HSCCC and Sephadex G-100 size-exclusion chromatography. The FTIR analysis showed that it had char- Accepted 22 September 2014 Available online 22 October 2014 acteristic absorptive peaks and contained uronic acid. The methylation and GC–MS analysis showed that it comprised of glucose and galactose with a molar ratio of 1.52:1, and that it mainly contained 1,3-linked-glc, 1-linked-gal and 1,6-linked-gal glycosidic bonds. 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectra analysis Keywords:
