First Claim
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
-¼
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 −

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 −

Abstract
This invention relates to a method of extracting crude polysaccharide by microwave-assisted from Artemisia sphaerocephala seed de-oiling dregs. In particular, the invention comprising: microwave-assisted extraction, enzymatic hydrolysis, dialysis et. al. It provides a technique whereby the polysaccharide can be extracted effectively, in a relatively short period of time (20-30 min) with respect to conventional extraction methods and allows for an enhanced extraction yield (more than 30%). Furthermore, the invention also allows for the extraction of material with less solvent consumption, good reproducibility, excellent solubility, energy conservation, environmental protection, and showed great potential for efficient sample preparation and large-scale industrial application in the near future. With great resource advantage of Artemisia sphaerocephala in China, the invention has bright perspectives in promoting local economic development.
