Abstract: Four heteropolysaccharides(L-FⅠ_L-FⅣn ) and two glucans(L-FⅤ and L-FⅥn ) were isolated from the fruit bodies of lentinus edodes by using aqueous 09% NaCl, 85% ethanol, hot water(120 ℃, high pressure), aqueous 1% ammonium oxalate, aqueous 5% NaOH/005% NaBH4 and 2% NaOH/2% urea, respectively. The results analyzed with IRand HPLCshowed that the heteropolysaccharides consist of Dglucose, glucuronic acid, xylose, mannose and galactose and rhamnose, and the D-glucose content in the polysaccharides increases with the progress of isolation process. The weight average molecular weights Mw, root-mean-square radii of gyration 〈S21/2, second Virial coefficients A2 and number average molecular weights Mn of the polysaccharides were studied by using light scattering and membrane osmometry. The Mw values of the samples of L-FⅡ, L-FⅢ, L-FⅤ and L-FⅥ n are 19.7×104, 19.23×104, 13.64×104 and 13.67×104, respectively. The polydispersity indexes of the polysaccharides Mw/ Mn lie in the range of 3~5.
