Objective:
To explore the effect of processing on the contents of saccharides in Huangqi.
Method:
The contents of reducing saccharides, water-soluble saccharides and poly saccharides in Huangqi and its processed products were determined with phenol-H2SO4 method.
Result:
The contents of poly saccharides in the alcohol-broiled product were the highest of all the products. The others were all higher than those in the crude drug.
Conclusion:
Different processing methods result in different effects on the above saccharides, which administers to the interpretation of the theory of Huangqi processing.
