Objective: To select a accurate stable and convenient method for determining Polysaccharide content in Erjing Wan. Method: Polysaccharide content in Erjing Wan was determined by two methods: athranone-sulfuric acid method and phenol-suifuric acid method. Result: The sugarin athranone-sulfuric acid method and phenol-suifuric acid method was liner in the range of 1.2~12 mg·L-1(r=0.999 3) and 1.5~15 mg·L-1(r=0.999 1) respectively. Athranone-sulfuric acid method was stable in 3 h, phenol-suifuric acid method was stable in 2 h; the sugar content was 53.79% and 58.92% respectively. Conclusion: Phenol-suifuric acid method is sensitive、stable and convenient and can be applied to determine polysaccharide content in Erjing Wan.
