COMPARISON STUDY OF DECOLORIZATION WAYS FOR POLYSSACHARIDE FROM Ligusticum Chuanxiong HORT

Comparative analysis of the decolorization of polyssacharide from Ligusticum Chuanxiong Hort using activated carbon,H2O2 and macroporous resin has been studied.The decolorization efficiency of macroporous resin S-8 with its velocity of flow 2～3BV/h,ratio of raw material to liquid 0.33g/mL was much better than the others.The decolorization rate using S-8 was 92.7%,the polysaccharide reserved rate was 93.0%.It is evident that S-8 is suitable for use in decolorization of polyssacharide from Ligusticum Chuanxiong Hort.
