Abstract:The extraction methods of polysaccharides from three varieties of Chinese wolfberry（L.dasystemum Pojark.，Lycium ruthenicum Murr.and Lycium barbarum L.）were systematically summarized.The methods include four traditional methods（soaking extracting method，ultrasonic assisted extraction，enzyme assisted extraction and microwave assisted extraction method）and three new methods（high intensity pulsed electric field，high-speed shear dispersing emulsifier and ultrasonic assisted subcritical water extraction）.The working principles，advantages，disadvantages and technological parameter of various methods were mainly summarized，compared and analysed to provide reference for the full utilization of polysaccharides from varieties of Chinese wolfberry.
