1. A process for producing crude polysaccharide from Artemisia sphaerocephala with microwave-assistance comprising:

  • a. Artemisia sphaerocephala seed powder was obtained by CO2 supercritical fluid extraction of oil. The said powder was mixed with distilled water. The ratio of the mixture was 1;

    30-1;

    50 (w/w). The suspension was irradiated with microwaves in microwave extraction equipment with water condenser. The overall microwave power was 600 W-800 W with the frequency of 915 MHz for 20-30 min at the temperature of 70-80°

    C. The extraction product may be recovered from the extractant after separation from the solids material as filtering at the pressure of 0.07-0.09 MPa. Distilled water was evaporated off from the resulting solvent extract at the pressure of 0.06-0.08 MPa, and the total volume of the extraction was reduced to ⅛



    of original. Ethanol was then added in concentrated extract (ethanol content was about 70%-80% (v/v) in total extract). The precipitate in ethanol solution was then collected by centrifugation at the centrifugal speed of 3500-4000 rpm after stored in static condition for 20-30 h. The said collected precipitate was freeze-drying for 24-36 h at the temperature of −

    60-−

    50°

    C. with the pressure of 1 Pa, get material A.b. Material A was dissolved in distilled water, the ratio of the mixture was 1;

    150-1;

    200 (w/w). The aqueous solution of extract was incubated with 6 u-8 u/100 ml papain for 10-12 h after heated at the temperature of 60-70°

    C. The said extract was purified by butanol/chloroform (1;

    2-1;

    4, v/v) for 3-6 times. The solution in aqueous phase was collected and concentrated to ⅛



    of original volume at the temperature of 40-50°

    C., 0.06-0.08 Mpa, get material B.c. The pH value of material B was adjusted to 9 by adding ammonia. The solution of extract was decolorizated by dropping 20%-30% H2O2 until the color of the said solution turned to colorless. The said colorless solution was concentrated to 1/80-¼

    of original volume at the pressure of 0.06-0.08 Mpa. The concentrated solution was then dialyzed (Mw cut off 8000-14000 Da) against distilled water for 36-48 h. Ethanol was added in extract solution (ethanol content was about 70%-80% (v/v) in total extract) after dialysis. The precipitate in ethanol solution was then collected by centrifugation at the centrifugal speed of 3500-4000 rpm after stored in static condition for 10-14 h. The said collected precipitate was freeze-drying for 24-36 h at the temperature of −

    60-−

    50°

    C. with the pressure of 1 Pa, get purified ASP.
