The chemical structure and anti-aging bioactivity of an acid polysaccharide obtained from rose buds.

An acid polysaccharide, named R-PL, was extracted from rose buds by hot water (80 °C) extraction and purified by Sephadex G-200. R-PL, extracted with a total yield of 1.90%, is a highly pure polysaccharide with a total sugar content of 92.

Structure analysis and anti-fatigue activity of a polysaccharide from Walp.

A polysaccharide was obtained from Walp by hot water extraction and purification by Millipore (100 kD) and Sephadex G-200. The content of polysaccharide was examined to be 89.9% with phenol-sulfuric acid method.
