Determination of polysaccharides content in Cortex Moutan / 国际药学研究杂志

Objective: To determine the content of polysaccharides in Cortex Moutan. Methods: The conversion coefficient of Cortex Moutan polysaccharides to glucose was obtained by refined polysaccharides, and then the content of polysaccharides in crude polysaccharides fraction was determined by sulfuric acid-phenol method. Results: The content of polysaccharides in crude polysaccharides from Cortex Moutan was 89.09%, the average content of polysaccharides in Cortex Moutan was 7.54%, and the average recovery rate was 101.22%. Conclusion: The content of polysaccharides in Cortex Moutan is comparatively high, which lays a foundation for the further research and development of Cortex Moutan.
