How to identify true and false Astragalus polysaccharides

Up to now, the highest extraction concentration of domestic Astragalus polysaccharides is 68%, and 70% or more is impossible. However, the addition of glucose can increase its test concentration.

Astragalus polysaccharides are widely used in aquaculture, but are they true or false, and the purity is reliable. Have you known this? As far as the analysis of the Astragalus polysaccharides you use, how do you determine that it is a genuinely pure product?

Look at color

The high quality Astragalus polysaccharide is light yellow or off-white;

The oxidized Astragalus polysaccharide is brown sugar or brown, and its activity is very low! Do not use.

Note: Many manufacturers add glucose to the Astragalus polysaccharide powder to cope with the drug test, but carefully observe the color of the Astragalus polysaccharide powder and find white small particles inside.

Hygroscopicity is an inherent property of Astragalus polysaccharides and cannot be changed!

In other words, if the Astragalus polysaccharide does not absorb moisture, then it is not a scutellaria polysaccharide, but the moisture absorption of the Astragalus polysaccharide can be reduced by the improvement of the process, so the Astragalus polysaccharide which does not absorb moisture is currently absent.

Experimental identification

Experimental principle: Astragalus polysaccharide is insoluble in 80% alcohol, and 75% alcohol can also be identified.

Pour the Astragalus polysaccharide to be tested into 75% or 80% alcohol if:

A: Astragalus polysaccharides are grouped, and the alcohol is clear, which is a high quality Astragalus polysaccharide.

B: Astragalus polysaccharide does not clump, is dispersed in alcohol, and the alcohol is not clear, the color is darker, it is inferior astragalus polysaccharide or not astragalus polysaccharide.
