Abstract

Papain and alcalase were successively used to hydrolyze grass carp scales for preparation of crude polysaccharide. Chondroitin sulfate were further purified by DEAE-Sepharose Fast Flow and Sepharose 6 Fast Flow gel column chromatograph, and indentified by IR, NMR, element analysis and chemical analysis. Three polysaccharide fractions including chondroitin sulfate were fistly obtained from grass carp scales. The weight-average molecular weight of chondroitin sulfate was 46168 Da. The contents of various elements (C, H, N, S, O) in chondroitin sulfate were 28.89 %, 3.80 %, 3.36 %, 6.71 % and 47.16 %, respectively. The results of IR, NMR and chemical analysis exhibited that the sulfate group in chondroitin sulfate be O-linked in position 4 of N-acetyl-D-galactosamine.
