[ Method ] By single-factor experiment, the ultrasonic extraction process of polyperus pelysac- charides was optimized. [Result] The optimal conditions for ultrasonic extraction of polysaccharides from P. umbeUatus were: solid-liquid ratio 1:40 (g: ml), ex- traction duration 60 rain, extraction temperature 70 ℃, ultrasonic power 100 W. [ Conclusion] Compared with conventional water extraction method, ultrasonic ex- traction could significantly improve the content of polyporus polysaccharides with shorter extraction duration, lower solid-liquid ratio and lower extraction tempera-展开更多
