The invention discloses an extraction and purification method of alfalfa
polysaccharide. The method comprises the following steps: (1) soaking alfalfa
powder in water for twice, combining filtrate obtained for twice, concentrating the filtrate and then carrying out
alcohol precipitation, collecting precipitates, then centrifuging or sieving the precipitates, collecting the precipitates, then adding water to dissolve the precipitates and prepare an alfalfa
polysaccharide solution; and (2) successively carrying out
dialysis and deproteinization treatment on the alfalfa
polysaccharide solution prepared in the step (1), precipitating a
system prepared by deproteinization, then centrifuging or sieving the
system, collecting supernatant, carrying out
alcohol precipitation, collecting the precipitates and
drying the precipitates to obtain the alfalfa polysaccharide. Through the extraction and purification method of alfalfa polysaccharide, a conventional water-boiling and
alcohol-extracting method of alfalfa polysaccharide is improved; the
dialysis process is added; the sample is subjected to qualitative and quantitative detection by alpha-naphthol experiment, Fehling experiment,
ninhydrin experiment,
ferric trichloride experiment and anthranone-
sulfuric acid colorimetry; the result shows that the extraction rate of the
improved method reaches up to 89.87 percent.
