Key points

A new polysaccharide (MEP-1) was isolated from fruit body of wide Morchella esculenta (L.) Pers with a stepwise procedure of hot water extraction, removal of the protein, dialysis against water, DEAE-Cellulose A52 and Sephadex G-100 columns
Physicochemical properties of the polysaccharide was determined by chemical methods, high-performance gel permeation chromatography, high performance liquid chromatography, paper chromatography, ultraviolet spectrum, and infrared spectrometry
The polysaccharides were primarily polymers of glucose, mannose, galactose, and arabinose
The average molecular mass was 43625 Da

Abstract

A new polysaccharide (MEP-1) was isolated from fruit body of wide Morchella esculenta (L.) Pers with a stepwise procedure of hot water extraction, removal of the protein, dialysis against water, DEAE-Cellulose A52 and Sephadex G-100 columns. Physicochemical properties of the polysaccharide was determined by chemical methods, high-performance gel permeation chromatography, high performance liquid chromatography, paper chromatography, ultraviolet spectrum, and infrared spectrometry. The polysaccharides were primarily polymers of glucose, mannose, galactose, and arabinose. The average molecular mass was 43625 Da.
