[Separation and determination of selenium polysaccharide in enriched-Se cordyceps militaris]

In the present paper, the water soluble selenium polysaccharide was extracted, and isolated and purified preliminarily. The traditional method was used to extract selenium polysaccharide, which was extracted by water and sank by ethanol. The work also focused on the determination of the experiment conditions, optimizing the experiment conditions such as proportion of extract solution, extract temperature, extract times, proportion of ethanol, and standing time. The recovery of selenium polysaccharide under these conditions is 5.76%. Polysaccharide content in the powder is 46.6%, and selenium content is 92.3 mg x kg(-1).
