In this paper, the wall-breaking methods of pollen from Ginkgo biloba, Ginkgo pollen polysaccharide extraction, separation and purification, and the antioxidant characteristics of Ginkgo pollen polysaccharide were studied. The results were as follows:1. The optimum craft parameters of wall-breaking by homogenate machine were: the speed 15000r/min, the ratio of gardenia to liquid 1:50,operation time 10min, and the breaking rate was 99.6%.2. The optimum conditions for ultrasonic assistant extraction of Ginkgo biloba pollen polysaccharide were as follows:the ratio of solid to liquid 1:50, ultrasonic power 700W, and ultrasonic time of 50min, and the pollen polysaccharide extraction rate was up to 6.05%.3. Protein was removed from polysaccharide through three kinds of methods. It was found that by Sevag method of removing protein, the protein removal rate was 82.3%, and polysaccharide retention rate was 10.9%. The optimized conditions were showed, when time of decolorization was 4h, decolorization temperature was 50℃, the dosage of granular activated carbon 0.15g/ml, the decoloration rate of polysaccharide was 72.84%, and the retention rate of polysaccharide was 88.19%.4. Ginkgo pollen polysaccharides were separated by DEAE-cellulose. Three main sub-class compositions were abtained as PGBPâ… , PGBPâ…¡and PGBPâ…¢. In order to get a single homogeneous polysaccharide component, Sephadex G-200 column chromatography was used to those substances which were separated by DEAE-cellulose column chromatography, and the three main kinds of polysaccharide, named PGBPâ… a,PGBPâ…¡a and PGBPâ…¢b, were gained with the recovery were 71.11%, 81.2% and 73.02%, respectively.5. In the four kinds of free radical scavenging effect, PGBPâ… a was effective to the hydroxyl radical, sodium nitrite and DPPH? radical scavenging, PGBPâ…¡a, to hydroxyl radical and superoxide anion radical scavenging, and PGBPâ…¢b, to superoxide anion, sodium nitrite, especially more effective to DPPH? scavenging.To PGBPâ…¢b, scavenging effect to superoxide anion radical was stronger than the same concentration of Vc in solution. In all, PGBPâ…¢b was a better antioxidant.
