Objective: To extract both artificial culture and wild Auricularia auricular polysaccharides and determinate their
contents. Methods: The polysaccharide was extracted with ethanol and the polysaccharide content was wired by UV spectrophotometry phenol -sulfuric acid color method. Results: Within the range of 8.0 -48.0 μg/mL, the recovery ratio of polysaccharide was 99.03% with RDS of 0.66% (n=6). The recovery ratio of polysaccharide in artificial culture and wild Auricularia auricular were 18.48% and 18.29%, respectively. Artificial culture and wild Auricularia auricular in the polysaccharide content was 9.21% and 8.20%, respectively. Conclusion: Wild Auricularia auricular has higher content of polysaccharides than that of culture artificially. Growing environment affects the contents of Auricularia auricula's polysaccharides.
